\" Zion! Hear Me!\"
Morpheus

‘Zion! Hear me!’

\" Zion! Hear Me!
It is true what many of you have heard.
The machines have gathered an army, and
I speak that army is drawing nearer to our
home.
Believe me when I say we have a difficult
time ahead of us. But if we are to be
prepared for it, we must first shed our fear
of it. I stand here before you now truthfully
unafraid.
Why? \"
Morpheus

\" Because I believe something you do not?
No?
I stand here without fear because I
remember.
I remember that I am here not because of
the path that lies before me, but because
of the path that lies behind me.
I remember that for 100 years we have
fought these machines.
I remember that 100 years they have sent
their armies to destroy us.\"
Morpheus

\" And after a century of war, I remember
that which matters most:
We are still here!
Tonight, let us send a message to that
army.
Tonight, let us shake this cave.
Tonight, let us tremble these halls of earth,
steel and stone.
Let us be heard from red core to black sky.
Tonight, let us make them remember:
This is zion and we are not afraid! \"

• Dan Brickley, W3C.
• Eric Miller, W3C.
• Tim Bray, Sun Microsystems.

Resource Description
Framework (RDF)
• RDF is a universal format for data on
the Web
• RDF started as framework for
metadata; providing interoperability
between applications that exchange
machine-understandable information
on the Web.

Resource Description
Framework (RDF) cont.
• RDF emphasizes facilities to enable
automated processing of Web
resources and as such provides the
basic building blocks for supporting
the Semantic Web.
• RDF metadata can be used in a
variety of application areas; …

Metadata
• Metadata is \"data about data.\"
–ex. a library catalog is metadata.
• The solution proposed here is to use
metadata to describe the data
contained on the Web.
– Because of the volume of information
the Web contains, it is not possible to
manage it manually.

RDF Helps Make the Web
More Functional
\" RDF has a general-purpose design and
we are pleased that it is already being
applied in areas we did not originally
anticipate. Sophisticated applications of
RDF may combine metadata about the
same object supplied by more than one
party on the Web, selecting the optimal
source for specific properties and
merging the sources' expertise. \"

Starring
• Tim Berners-Lee, W3C.
– In 1989, he proposed a global hypertext project, to
be known as the World Wide Web. Based on the
earlier \"Enquire\" work, it was designed to allow
people to work together by combining their
knowledge in a web of hypertext documents. He
wrote the first World Wide Web server, \"httpd\", and
the first client, \"WorldWideWeb\" a what-you-see-is-
what-you-get hypertext browser/editor which ran in
the NeXTStep environment. This work was started in
October 1990, and the program \"WorldWideWeb\"
first made available within CERN in December, and
on the Internet at large in the summer of 1991.

The Semantic Web
\"The Semantic Web is an extension
of the current web in which
information is given well-defined
meaning, better enabling
computers and people to work in
cooperation.\"
-- Tim Berners-Lee, James Hendler,
Ora Lassila, The Semantic Web,
Scientific American, May 2001

The Semantic Web
\" The Semantic Web will bring structure
to the meaningful content of Web pages,
creating an environment where
software agents roaming from page to
page can readily carry out sophisticated
tasks for users. Such an agent coming
to the clinic's Web page will know not
just that the page has keywords such
as \"treatment, medicine, physical,
therapy\" (as might be encoded today) \"

The Semantic Web
\" … but also that Dr. Hartman works at
this clinic on Mondays, Wednesdays and
Fridays and that the script takes a date
range in yyyy-mm-dd format and
returns appointment times.\"
-- Tim Berners-Lee, James Hendler,
Ora Lassila, The Semantic Web,
