Abstract
This document specifies usage scenarios, goals and requirements for a web ontology language. An ontology formally defines a common set of terms that are used to describe and represent a domain. Ontologies can be used by automated tools to power advanced services such as more accurate Web search, intelligent software agents and knowledge management.

Abstract
This article introduces Resource Description Framework (RDF), a technology developed by the W3C for web-based metadata. RDF’s goal is to make work easier for autonomous agents and automated services using XML as an interchange syntax. This article includes a simple ASP.NET example that generates one of the most popular RDF applications, Friend of a Friend (FOAF) RDF files, which connects people over the Web though their relationships.

The Resource Description Framework (RDF) is a framework for representing information in the
The Semantic Annotations for Web Services Description Language (SAWSDL) Working Group released a Last Call Working Draft of Semantic Annotations for WSDL .
Semantic annotations can be added to Web Services Description Language (WSDL) components for use in classifying, discovering, matching, composing, and invoking Web services. Comments are welcome through 1 November. The group also released the First Public Working Draft of the companion Usage Guide .
Semantic Annotations for WSDL (SAWSDL) defines how to add semantic annotations to various parts
Abstract
Web Services Description Language (WSDL) provides a model and an XML format for describing Web services. This document describes a representation of that model in the Resource Description Language (RDF) and in the Web Ontology Language (OWL), and a mapping procedure for transforming particular WSDL descriptions into their RDF form.

1. Introduction
There is a recent tendency in the Semantic Web community to stress the Web aspect of the Semantic Web, meaning that the Semantic Web is increasingly understood as a single, global information space consisting of interlinked RDF data.
This tendency is carried by the revival of ideas around interlinking data on the Semantic Web: Current W3C efforts stress the fact that URI references should be dereference-able (W3C working draft on Best Practice Recipes for Publishing RDF Vocabularies). There is a nice memo by Tim Berners-Lee about
