an overview of the growing forest of semantic web applications and approaches at rww - http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/semantic_web_patterns.php "With any new technology it is important to define and classify things. The Semantic Web is offering an exciting promise: improved information discoverability, automation of complex searches, and innovative web browsing. Yet the Semantic Web means different things to different people. Indeed, its definition in the enterprise and consumer spaces is different, and there are different means to a common end - top-down vs. bottom up and microformats vs. RDF. In addition to these patterns, we are observing the rise of semantic APIs and contextual browsing tools. All of these are in their early days, but hold a big promise to fundamentally change the way we interact with information on the web."
