Relationship Web: Spinning the Web from Trailblazing to Semantic Analytics

Subject and object convey little without a verb and a few prepositions. Reducing this to the subject-predicate-object representation, subject and object convey little without predicate. Entities are lame without the relationships that associate meaning to them. Concepts can be quite ambiguous without context or domain of discourse. Labels and terms become meaningful when we associate them with a conceptual model or an ontology. Semantics is about meaning and understanding, and relationships are at the heart of semantics. And with semantics we can create more powerful search, achieve interoperability among heterogeneous and multimodal content, and develop more powerful analytic and discovery capabilities.
