Abstract

The Semantic Web is a difficult concept for typical end-users to comprehend. There is a lack of widespread understanding on how the Semantic Web could be used in day-to-day applications. While there are now practical applications that have appeared supporting back-end functions such as data integration, there is only a handful of Semantic Web applications that the average Google user would want to use on a regular basis. The Concept Object Web is a prototype application for knowledge/intelligence management that aggregates data from text documents, XML files, and databases so that end-users can visually discover and learn about knowledge object (entities) without reading documents. The application addresses limitations with current knowledge/intelligence management tools giving end-users the power of the Semantic Web without the perceived burden and complexity of the Semantic Web.
