This category contains sites dedicated to Semantic Web activity, community, research, events and tools. The Semantic Web is a vision: the idea of having data on the web defined and linked in a way that it can be used by machines - not just for display purposes, but for using it in various applications.
The W3C Semantic Web Activity has been established to serve a leadership role, in both the design of specifications and the open, collaborative development of technology for the Semantic Web. http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/Activity
SEWASIE is a collaboration of a number of research groups aiming to design and implement an advanced search engine accessing heterogeneous data sources on the web, using semantic enrichment to provide the basis of structured secure web-based communication http://www.sewasie.org
Project to develop interoperability between RDF based calendar descriptions and Personal Information Manager Systems such as Microsoft's Outlook. http://www.daml.ri.cmu.edu/Cal/
Even though the Semantic Web may yet seem a remote dream, there are already tools one can use to make a tiny step forward by building "semantic web sites," which can be much easier to navigate than ordinary sites. http://www.xml.com/lpt/a/2001/05/02/semanticwebsite.html

URIQA proposes an extension to web architecture used to indicate to a web server that it should resolve the specified URI in terms of knowledge about the resource denoted by that URI rather than in terms of a representation of the resource. http://sw.nokia.com/uriqa/URIQA.html
