Abstract

Recent developments of new technologies are aimed at opening the contents of data sources to the wider area of the Internet. These data sources are to be found on the lower layer of the semantic Web architecture while the higher layers try to bring the contents of the data sources to the Internet in an interoperable way through the use of technologies like XML (extensible markup language), RDF (resource description framework) and ontology. This paper first comments on the semantic Web architecture as documented by Tim Berners-Lee. It further describes some challenges observed in attaining the goal. Finally, the paper aims to describe (a first iteration to identify) the root causes for the challenges observed
