Abstract:
The Semantic Web envisions effortless cooperation between humans and
computers, seamless interoperability and information exchange among web applications,
and rapid and accurate identification and invocation of appropriate Web services. At the
current stage of evolution in Semantic Web research, there is a growing understanding
that a major step towards this vision involves the implementation of principled uncertainty
representation and reasoning in SW applications. This position paper introduces initial
thoughts on how the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Incubator XG process could be
employed to move forward the concept of a Web with uncertainty.
