Towards the improvement of the Semantic Web technology

The Semantic Web technology needs to be thoroughly evalu- ated for providing objective results and to attain a massive improvement in their quality in order to be consolidated in the industrial and in the academic world. This paper presents software benchmarking as a process to carry out over the SemanticWeb technology in order to improve it and to search for best practices. It also describes a software benchmarking methodology and provides recommendations for performing evaluations in benchmarking activities.
