Ontology-based Information Visualization

The Semantic Web is an extension of the current World Wide Web, based on the idea of exchanging information with explicit, formal and machine-accessible descriptions of meaning. Providing information with such semantics will enable the construction of applications that have an increased awareness of what is contained in the information they process and that can therefore operate more accurately. This has the potential of improving the way we deal with information in the broadest sense possible, e.g. better search engines, mobile agents for various tasks, or even applications yet unheard of. Rather than being merely a vision, the Semantic Web has significant backing from various institutes such as DARPA, the European Union and the W3C, which all have formed current and future Semantic Web activities.
