摘　　要：语义网(Semantic Web)是当前因特网的延伸,在语义网中信息被赋予清晰的定义与含义,因而计算机和人可以更好地合作。语义网的目标是要充分发挥因特网的潜力,最终使技术能够让机器支持全球化的知识交流。实现语义网的核心是对实用分类系统(ontologies)的开发和利用。实用分类系统已经远远超出图书馆学、哲学、知识表述的范畴,图书馆、信息产业、工商业都在注视语义网技术的开发和应用。研究结果表明,实用分类系统在支持电子商务的浏览和检索与知识管理配置的可互操作性方面起着关键的作用。本文针对目前语义网的发展和实用分类系统的技术,对其应用领域、主要技术和标准、研究项目、发展动向作一综述和评论,并介绍在语义网方面的几个主要研究课题。Semantic Web is an extension of the Internet. In the Semantic Web, information is defined explicitly with semantics so that computers may coordinate with human more effectively. The goal of the Semantic Web is to fully utilize the potential of the Internet, and ultimately, to enable computer -supported global knowledge exchange through technology. Ontologies play a central role in the development and applications of the Semantic Web. The scope of ontologies goes beyond traditional library classification schemes. philosophy, and knowledge representation. The development and application of Semantic Web technologies have attracted attentions from business marketing, management, and major industries. Research has reported that e - commerce activities rely heavily on ontologies to support browsing, searching, and interoperability in knowledge management. This paper reviews current development of the Semantic Web, including areas of application, major technologies and standards, and trends. A research agenda for the Semantic Web is also discussed.
