This panel will discuss what it will take to get the Semantic Web into the mainstream. What is the Semantic Web? The Semantic Web is an effort lead by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) to introduce the ability to encode meaning of web content in the form of metadata. Current web content is created with the Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML) to describe the layout and linking of content. In the Semantic Web content will be typed based on meaning full annotations expressed as fully qualified Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs, aka URLs). This will allow structured searches across distributed web resources in the web of data: The Data Web. The evolution of the current Web of "linked documents" to a Web of "linked data" is steadily gaining mindshare among developers, architects, systems integrators, users, and more than 200 software companies developing semantic web- oriented solutions. A growing number of online services already support Semantic Web technologies to improve interoperability and publish data on the web.
The panel is moderated by Marco Neumann, New York Semantic Web Meetup; Hank Williams, Founder and CEO, Kloudshare; and Eric Hoffer, Second Integral.
