Welcome to the Semantic Technologies Manifesto
SeTeMa, the Semantic Technologies Manifesto, presents the view of the top-most researchers in the field of semantic technologies regarding the current state of the art and future trends of semantics. Several prestigious educational institutes have joined efforts with the main industrial players in order to create this manifesto that structures and unifies the current and forthcoming efforts in semantic technologies research.
The document starts by presenting a comprehensive and complete description of what semantic technologies mean, and detailed information about how semantics actually work. From representation languages to service infrastructure, every aspect relevant for semantic technologies usage is presented in this manifesto. A selection of usage scenario is also presented in this document.
An important part of the manifesto is dedicated to the future of semantic technologies. As attracting more interested parties is one of the keys for a successful technology transfer, the manifesto draws a plan for a master program for University education as well as a training program for industry.
The manifesto concludes with the view of semantic technology experts on the future of semantics, a reflection on its evolution in the next 10 years.
