There's a new vision of the Web--the Semantic Web--that will dramatically improve Web-based services and products. It creates a setting where software agents perform everyday jobs for end-users. Deploying hierarchies, metadata, and structured vocabularies, the Semantic Web expands basic Internet functions. According to Tim Berners-Lee (writing with James Hendler and Ora Lassila in the May 7, 2001 issue of Scientific American) and the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), the Internet has the potential to act as a treasured valet or lady's maid [www.sciam.com/2001/0501issue/0501berners-lee.html], an all-knowing, trustworthy source of practical information.
