Web Development and Design White Papers

Bringing the Semantic Web Closer to the User

Overview As the current Semantic Web (SW) activities focus mainly on making the Web machine understandable, the end-user needs are often neglected. To bring the advantages of the SW to the end-user, one clearly needs an interface, which would allow the user to explore, browse, and query the content he is interested in. RDFS is an acknowledged backbone of the SW architecture. This paper argues that due to its peculiarities a new interface metaphor is needed to convey RDFS-based ontologies to the end-user in a comprehensible form. This paper presents such a metaphor and its implementation called EROS (Explorer for DFS-based OntologieS).
