On merging user-supplied topic ontologies on the semantic web
Stanislav Ustymenko · 2006
The Semantic Web [2] is a vision of a new generation of the WWW that will enable computational agents to process data that have well-defined formal semantics. Agents can use reasoning to infer new information from statements located on different Web sites. Just like the current WWW, the Semantic Web makes no attempt to centralize publishing, effectively allowing anyone to publish any statement. Thus judging reliability of information becomes a practical requirement.
