2017 Trends for Semantic Web and Semantic Technologies - DATAVERSITY

Are you hearing the term "Semantic Web" as often as you may have in the past? There's no denying the importance of the technologies, standards, concepts, and collaborations that define the Semantic Web proper and all that is affiliated with it or grown out of it. But if anything, the terms "Semantic Web" or "Semantic Web technologies" are receiving less attention, points out Amit Sheth, educator, researcher, and entrepreneur whose roles include being the executive director of Kno.e.sis--the Ohio Center of Excellence in Knowledge-enabled Computing. As we head into 2017, DATAVERSITY wanted to follow up the state of the Semantic Web and Semantic technologies (both standards-body related and not). In addition to Sheth, Michael Bergman, co-founder of knowledge-based Artificial Intelligence startup Cognonto (see our recent article here) and CEO of Structured Dynamics, and David Wood, CTO of 3 Round Stones, Director of Technology at Ephox TinyMCE and author of books including Linking Enterprise Data, also participated.
