WHY ATTEND KT2001 NOW?

According to Tim Berners-Lee, Director of the W3C, there will be three modern-day technology revolutions. The first occurred when the universal information space, called the Internet, was established using such technologies as HTML and HTTP. This undeniably impacted on our daily lives.

The second revolution - the XML revolution - shifted the use of the Web from being a publishing medium to serving as an application processing architecture. Perhaps the biggest result of the rise of XML is e-Business. The XML revolution has impacted every business model today. It has lead to the emergence of major new business dynasties and changed the playing field forever.

So, what's the third revolution? Can information technologies have another trump card waiting to be played? The answer is YES. We are at the dawn of the third revolution - where it is the rise of the Semantic Web. This shift of the Web from an information-based structure to a knowledge-based structure will revolution our industry — just like HTML and XML did earlier. This new revolution will introduce "knowledge technologies" to our community.

Industry leaders are preparing. Are you?
