The tutorial Questions (and Answers) on the Semantic Web was given by Ivan Herman, W3C on 27 Oct 2004.

This tutorial gave quick answers to the frequently asked questions about the semantic web. Below are some interesting ones.

- the role of the semantic web is not full-AI.
- RDF/XML is only a serialization of RDF graph.
- RDF is better than xml because of its graph model.
- OWL reasoner is good but domain specific reasoner are also desired.
- There are many RDF application (esp. industrial application such as Dublin Core, Boeing, Sun’s Sword Fish, RSS, Adobe’s XMP, Mozzila, and Creative commons)

Within the scope of Semantic Web Best Practices and Deployment Working Group, Swoogle matches the category “ontology/vocabulary development practices”.
