The emerging Semantic Web focuses on bringing knowledge representationlike capabilities to Web applications in a Web‐friendly way. The ability to put knowledge on the Web, share it, and reuse it through standard Web mechanisms provides new and interesting challenges to artificial intelligence. In this paper, I explore the similarities and differences between the Semantic Web and traditional AI knowledge representation systems, and see if I can validate the analogy “The Semantic Web is to KR as the Web is to hypertext.”
