Information Architectures for Semantic Web Applications

In this paper we discuss the issues related to information system technologies. The problems of hardware based services and insufficiency in the widely accepted standards have limited dynamic aspects of industrial applications. Besides the hardware, software and communication considerations one has to look into the system integration, user involvement and service aspects due to the impact of web technologies. We present some of the high level approaches provided by the semantic web technologies in a heterogeneous collaboration network and also discuss the approaches for designing and describing the information architecture of these information systems.
