Speculation about the future of the World Wide Web revolves around the increased usage of semantic processing agents and machine intelligence, which promise to assist and automate tasks that are normally done manually. Although the promise of this new era has been around for a decade, adoption has been building slowly. However, the incremental developments in this area are promising, especially with social networking applications.

This presentation, to be given by Michael Moorman at our next KNOTHead meeting (June 26, 2008 @ EdFinancial Services, 6:45pm), broadly describes the playing field of the Semantic Web, presents the vision of Tim Berners-Lee, the Chairman of the World Wide Web Consortium, and demonstrates some of the frameworks of the underlying technology.
