The core purpose of the Semantic Web is to ease the search and the navigation of the huge amount of contents currently available on-line in order to reduce the information overload often experimented by Web users. This purpose is achieved by enriching the current Web with semantic descriptions of contents: they are standard-compliant representations of Web data that explicit their meanings in a way suitable to be automatically processed and aggregated. As a consequence software agents, driven by the informative needs of Web users, are enabled to support them in contents browsing by searching, interpreting, integrating and refining data from multiple on-line sources.

Abstract
The core purpose of the Semantic Web is to ease the search and the navigation of the huge amount of contents currently available on-line in order to reduce the information overload often experimented by Web users. This purpose is achieved by enriching the current Web with semantic descriptions of contents: they are standard-compliant representations of Web data that explicit their meanings in a way suitable to be automatically processed and aggregated. As a consequence software agents, driven by the informative needs of Web users, are enabled to support them in contents browsing by searching, interpreting, integrating and refining data from multiple on-line sources.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
