Semantic Web Issues
Semantic Web Agents
The semantic web will not be searchable in free text. To search (or access)
the semantic web, we will need some software to help us.
To use the semantic web, we will need "Semantic Web Agents" or "Semantic Web
Services". These "Agents" or "Services" will help us to find what we are looking
for on the semantic web.
On the semantic web, we might want to look for information about:
- The cheapest airline tickets
- Styling that would fit my car
- Books, DVDs, and CDs
- Weather forecasts
- Time schedules and calendar events
- Stock prices and exchange rates
Semantic Web Security
Can I trust a seller on the semantic web. Can I trust a buyer on the semantic
web?
To solve, I will need access to more RDF files:
- Credit card information
- Bank information
- Semantic records
- Social Security information

By using RDF files like this, my "Semantic Web Agent" can determine if I can
trust the person I am dealing with.
(the "Recorded" information could be supplied by Internet trading companies
like eBay, Amazon or the like)
Payment
To serve the semantic web, payment methods have to be developed.
Internet accessible "Deposit Accounts" could be a solution to this.
A deposit account is an account that can only receive deposits. It could be
made accessible for everyone on the Internet, and everyone could deposit money
to your account only knowing your ID (or your email address, much like PayPal).
Using this payment method everyone could publish their bank account number
over the Internet and
sell their car without any middleman.
