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.
