Abstract
The Semantic Web [1] is proposed to be an extension to the the current Web. It features a set of technical standards, ontological markup languages and other related technologies. The Semantic Web can be considered as a Web of data, in which data and the relations among different entities can be easily processed by machines. In the Semantic Web, each entity is referred to by a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI). Entities in one dataset can be linked to another dataset in a way very much similar to that in the way one Web page is linked to another on the Web.
