What's New   Annual Report for Fiscal Year 2005 of the Semantic Web Committee (Japanese Only) (April 2006) Semantic Web Conference 2006 "Semantic Web, the Past, Today and Tomorrow" (January 2006) WWW2005 Workshop "Activities on Semantic Web Technologies in Japan" (May 2005)   About Semantic Web Committee   Overview INTAP (Interoperability Technology Association for Information Processing, Japan) has established the Semantic Web Committee, based on a recognition that the Semantic Web is a critical technology which will affect widely economic activities and social life as well as IT industries. INTAP drives forward researches and developments related to the Semantic Web and its promotion in Japan through the Committee, in cooperation with research organizations such as Keio University and the World Wide Web Consortium(W3C).   History INTAP established the Semantic Web Committee as one of its expert committee in November 2001.   Purpose In Europe and the U.S., various institutes and research organizations are advancing researches and developments of the Semantic Web, which is a new Web technology that has potentiality of innovating the existing information society. The basic principle of the Semantic Web is to describe meanings of all kinds of data and information including Web resources as machine-readable metadata and to enable software agents to process these metadata on behalf of human. So it is expected that the diffusion of the Semantic Web will bring about the economic efficiency and enhance the convenience in our life, because computer can do some monotonous works instead of human in the Semantic Web framework. In Europe and the U.S., new businesses are also emerging by taking results of R&D projects of the Semantic Web in advance. For Japanese industries to lead the world in information technologies, we think it is essential to devote our resources to research of the Semantic Web. From these backgrounds, INTAP has established the Semantic Web Committee in order to drive forward research, development and promotion of the Semantic Web in Japan.   Semantic Web Committee Members   Committee Chairman Noboru SHIMIZU (Keio University)   Advisers Nobuo SAITO (Komazawa University) Tatsuya HAGINO (Keio University)   Committee Members Yukihiro MORITA (Oki Electric Industry Co., Ltd.)
