Peinl, René2018-01-082018-01-0820162016https://dl.gi.de/handle/20.500.12116/11523The Semantic Web has matured from a vision and research area of a few AI specialists to an important technology being used in a large number of research and a few practice projects. Most building blocks of the Semantic Web stack are filled with concrete technologies and W3C standards, but there are still enough areas for research. However, even with existing technologies, the potential of semantic applications within corporations is not yet fully harnessed as the adoption of Semantic Web technologies lacks behind other technologies like NoSQL databases or Web 2.0 technologies. This paper reviews the state of the art of Semantic Web technologies, discusses important terms and developments as well as currently active research streams. It further analyses available tools and applications with a focus on corporate scenarios and open source software and concludes with the suggestion of an architecture for a corporate semantic intranet.Linked dataReviewSemantic applicationsSemantic WebText/Journal Article1610-1987
