Abstract
The Semantic Web is an initiative of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) with the vision to evolve the traditional Web, which is essentially a graph of interlinked documents, into a “Web of Data” (Berners-Lee et al., 2001; cf. W3C, 2013). One of the major goals of the Semantic Web is the supply of machine-interpretable data at Web scale to gain a higher degree of automation and to facilitate more complete processing of information (cf. Berners-Lee et al., 2001). For example, if the prices of all consumer products were published in a machine-readable format and structure throughout the whole Web, then more complete price comparisons at global scale would be possible with minimal manual effort.
