ABSTRACT
The realization of the Semantic Web requires the widespread availability of semantic annotations for existing and new documents on the Web. Semantic annotations are to tag ontology class instance data and map it into ontology classes. The fully automatic creation of semantic annotations is an unsolved problem. Instead, current systems focus on the semi-automatic creation of annotations. The Semantic Web also requires facilities for the storage of annotations and ontologies, user interfaces, access APIs, and other features to fully support annotation usage. This paper examines current Semantic Web annotation platforms that provide annotation and related services, and reviews their architecture, approaches and performance.

Semantic annotation is a crucial part of achieving the vision of the Semantic Web and has long been a research topic among various communities. The most challenging problem in reaching the Semantic Web’s real potential is the gap between a large amount ...
Semantic Annotation for Web Services Based on DBpedia
SOSE '13: Proceedings of the 2013 IEEE Seventh International Symposium on Service-Oriented System EngineeringThe vast majority of Web services on the Internet lack explicit and sufficient semantic information. As a result, we cannot provide all the relevant services during service discovery, and have difficulty in service composition. In this paper, we propose ...
The semantic annotated documents: from HTML to the semantic web
CEA'07: Proceedings of the 2007 annual Conference on International Conference on Computer Engineering and ApplicationsThe current circumstance of the Semantic Web is that there is not much of a Semantic Web due to the lack of annotated web pages. There is such a lack because annotating web pages currently does not provide much practical benefit. In this work an ...
