Editing Semantic Web (section)

== Research activities on corporate applications ==
The first research group explicitly focusing on the Corporate Semantic Web was the ACACIA team at [[Institut national de recherche en informatique et en automatique|INRIA-Sophia-Antipolis]], founded in 2002. Results of their work include the [[RDF Schema|RDF(S)]] based Corese<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Corby |first1=Olivier |last2=Dieng-Kuntz |first2=Rose |last3=Zucker |first3=Catherine Faron |last4=Gandon |first4=Fabien |title=Searching the Semantic Web: Approximate Query Processing based on Ontologies |url=https://hal.inria.fr/hal-01150215 |journal=IEEE Intelligent Systems |year=2006 |pages=20–27 |language=en |doi=10.1109/MIS.2006.16 |volume=21 |s2cid=11488848 }}</ref> search engine, and the application of semantic web technology in the realm of [[distributed artificial intelligence]] for knowledge management (e.g. ontologies and [[multi-agent systems]] for corporate semantic Web) <ref>{{cite thesis |last1=Gandon |first1=Fabien |title=Distributed Artificial Intelligence And Knowledge Management: Ontologies And Multi-Agent Systems For A Corporate Semantic Web |url=https://tel.archives-ouvertes.fr/tel-00378201 |publisher=Université Nice Sophia Antipolis |language=en |date=7 November 2002|type=phdthesis }}</ref> and [[E-learning]].<ref>{{cite conference

Since 2008, the Corporate Semantic Web research group, located at the [[Free University of Berlin]], focuses on building blocks: Corporate Semantic Search, Corporate Semantic Collaboration, and Corporate Ontology Engineering.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.corporate-semantic-web.de|title=Corporate Semantic Web - Home|website=Corporate-semantic-web.de|access-date=14 April 2018}}</ref>

Ontology engineering research includes the question of how to involve non-expert users in creating ontologies and semantically annotated content<ref>{{cite conference

===Future of applications===
[[Tim O'Reilly]], who coined the term Web 2.0, proposed a long-term vision of the Semantic Web as a web of data, where sophisticated applications are navigating and manipulating it.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2006/apr/06/guardianweeklytechnologysection.timbernerslee |title=Spread the word, and join it up |first=S.
