✦ Synopsis

A new journal for a new era of the World Wide Web

We are delighted to welcome you to the first issue of the Journal of Web Semantics. With your help we aim to make this journal the premier publication for a new era of computing: one in which machine-readable semantics enable an intelligently capable Web. The "Semantic Web" is the most well known version of this new vision, and, despite its relative youth, has already promoted a flurry of action. From exciting new research to the deployment of industrial standards; from academic experimental prototypes to commercial endeavours: we are at the centre of a maelstrom of activity. The languages needed to define the Semantic Web; the architectural components and tools needed to build and maintain it; the content necessary to use it; and the applications that will exploit it -all these activities are happening at once and yet are interdependent. This makes the Semantic Web an exciting place.
