The Conceptual Web - our research vision
Ambjörn Naeve, Mikael T. I. Nilsson, Marcy Palmer · 2001
We present a vision of an extension of the emerging semantic web into what we call a Conceptual Web, where the semantics is not only machine-understandable, but also available for the user in an appealing form, which creates substantial benefits in terms of overview and clarity. We are using visual modeling in UML and a technique called conceptual browsing to present the conceptual web to the user. This construction lives on top of the ordinary semantic web and thus shares the advantages of RDF, such as distributivity and scalability.
