We make the case for developing a web of concepts by starting with the current view of web (comprised of hyperlinked pages, or documents, each seen as a bag of words), extracting concept-centric metadata, and stitching it together to create a semantically rich aggregate view of all the information available on the web for each concept instance. The goal of building and maintaining such a web of concepts presents many challenges, but also offers the promise of enabling many powerful applications, including novel search and information discovery paradigms. We present the goal, motivate it with example usage scenarios and some analysis of Yahoo! logs, and discuss the challenges in building and leveraging such a web of concepts. We place this ambitious research agenda in the context of the state of the art in the literature, and describe various ongoing efforts at Yahoo! Research that are related.
