http://infomesh.net/2001/swintro/ The Semantic Web: An Introduction
This document is designed as being a simple but comprehensive introductory publication for anybody trying to get into the Semantic Web: from beginners through to long time hackers. Recommended pre-reading: the Semantic Web in Breadth (http://logicerror.com/semanticWeb-long)
http://logicerror.com/semanticWeb-long The Semantic Web In Breadth by Aaron Swartz (with much assistance)
This piece speaks about the different parts of the Semantic Web and how they fit together. For a high-level interview, take a look at Sandro Hawke's The Semantic Web (Put Simply) (http://www.w3.org/2002/03/semweb/). On the other hand, if you're a Web developer who's interested in building Semantic Web Sites or Semantic Web Services, check out The Semantic Web (for Web Developers) (http://logicerror.com/semanticWeb-webdev). Now back to your regularly scheduled article.

- This document is something of a draft, but I have high hopes for it growing into a Semantic Web Primer or tutorial. Please let me know what you think of it.

- Wishful thinking (also known as a plan, vision, or architecture). This is to-date all written by Sandro with little feedback from anyone. Some of the ideas are from left field, some are consensus among the RDF community, and some ideas I picked up from others, esp TimBL.

- This is intended to give someone new to the Semantic Web a basic overview of the technologies involved, and a guide to where to go to find out more.
