Semantic Web Topic Hierarchy v2

[edit] Semantic Web Topic Hierarchy, version 2

This page describes a draft (that may change frequently) for a new version of the Semantic Web Topic Hierarchy. Responsibilities for the creation of the respective parts of the KnowledgeWeb technology roadmap are enclosed in parenthesis at the end. We also collected Emerging Semantic Web Topics not yet being included in the hierarchy because there is either no consensus in the community or it has not found a significantly critical mass of papers / workshops / etc. The changes and versions of the topic hierarchy are summarized on the page History of the Semantic Web Topic Hierarchy.
