Abstract:Presented as a research challenge in 2001, the Semantic Web (SW) is now a mature technology, used in several cross‐domain applications. One of its key benefits is a formal semantics of its RDF data format, which enables a system to validate data, infer implicit knowledge by automated reasoning, and explain it to a user; yet the analysis presented here of 71 RDF‐based SW systems (out of which 17 reasoners) reveals that the exploitation of such semantics varies a lot among all SW applications.
