With over a billion users, today’s Internet is arguably the most successful human artifact ever created. The Future Internet, an initiative driven by the European Union, has become a prime research focus of STI International and the Service Web 3.0 project. In order to explain, promote, and attract new contributors, we created a video to be viewed by stakeholders, who may be non-experts, in a new generation Internet.

Here is the Semantic Web timeline

The  Semantic Web
- auguments the World Wide Web
- represents the Web’s information in a machine-readable fashion
- enables targeted search, data browsing, automated agents

Semantic technologies are a family of technology standards that “play nice togheter”, including flexible data model, expressive ontology language, distribuited query language, and driving web sites, enterprise apps

On the current web content publichers decide what can be done with the data (via links, script).
On the semantic web content publishers publish actionable data and content conumers decide how to act on it.

Please take 10 minutes to share with us your predictions on industrial uptake of networked, service-based solutions and the potential role of semantic technologies.

The Service Web 3.0 Survey primarily aims to obtain the general consensus of the expert community in addressing industry’s most promising benefits of adopting global networked service solutions envisioned under the European Commission’s proposed Internet of Services. Additionally, we aim to access a common perception of the coming challenges within the Internet of Services domain where semantic technologies could provide a viable solution.
