ABSTRACT
The emergence of semantic web opens up boundless possibilities by enabling software agents to intelligently reason about its content. Over 300 million searches are conducted everyday on the Internet by people trying to find what they need. A majority of these searches are in the domain of consumer ecommerce, where a web user is looking for something to buy . This represents a huge cost in terms of people hours and an enormous drain of resources. Agent enabled semantic search will have a dramatic impact on the precision of these searches. It will reduce and possibly eliminate information asymmetry where a better informed buyer gets the best value. By impacting this key determinant of market prices semantic web will foster the evolution of different business and economic models. We submit that there is a need for developing these futuristic models based on our current understanding of e-commerce models and nascent semantic web technologies. We believe these business models will encourage mainstream web developers and businesses to join the “semantic web revolution.”

O artigo é enfático em apresentar um cenário (traçado em 2002) de uma web semântica que incentiva o comércio eletrônico de forma exponencial - o que resulta em uma incompatibilidade com os modelos de busca que o suportam e propõe um encorajamento aos desenvolvedores para se unirem à "Revolução da Web Semântica" e à consequente necessidade de modelos de busca mais adequados.
ResponderExcluirÉ interessante notar que o artigo trata sobre um questão primordial, que é a busca, mostrando que mesmo o modelo mais popular (Google) precisa de melhorias quando se trata de comércio eletrônico voltado para Web Semântica.
