Abstract
The semantic web was proposed in 1994 by the inventor of the original world wide web, Sir Tim Berners-lee. He outlined a web of information that provided meaning and structure to information in a way that the existing web did not. This meaning, or semantics would allow for the automation of a greater number of tasks, such as a hospital booking that involves many agents, trust and communication as described in the article. Since then the semantic web has become the focus of a large amount of research: knowledge representation, multi-agent systems, semantic web services and trust. Each of these subject areas has made a significant contribution to the current state of the semantic web. This paper summarises the research of a key paper in each of these areas of semantic web research, as well as the original Berners-lee article in order to provide an overview of the current state of the semantic web.
