Problems
The "Semantic Web" has been defined as an "extension of the current Web" that "will bring structure to the meaningful content of Web pages, creating an environment where software agents roaming from page to page can readily carry out sophisticated tasks for users" (Tim Berners-Lee, James Hendler, and Ora Lassila, "The Semantic Web," Scientific American, May 2001). While such a capability will not be a reality for several years, the journey has finally begun! Standards are in place; products realizing the promise are emerging.

Objectives
MITRE initiated the Semantic Web Innovation Grant (SWIG) in November 2003 to assess how MITRE should respond to the opportunities and challenges offered by the Semantic Web and identify what we should be encouraging our sponsors to do and when.

Activities
The SWIG team is developing and examining prospective sponsor-focused use cases, deriving requirements for Semantic Web technologies from these use cases, investigating the maturity of the Semantic Web and its component technologies, and identifying gaps in R&D. On the basis of these results, the team is making specific MITRE-oriented research recommendations.

Impact
True machine-realizable semantics is central to the next generation of information systems. To be effective, data integration/interoperability, service-oriented architectures, netted smart objects (smart dust), and many other essential elements of the information technology future require getting humans out of the discovery and composability loops. Semantic Web technologies offer this potential. The SWIG's goal is to ensure that MITRE will have the skills and leadership to make this happen and that we undertake the research needed to make the Semantic Web real within our sponsors' programs.
