Twenty years ago Tim Berners-Lee proposed a distributed hypertext
system based on standard Internet protocols. The Web that resulted
fundamentally changed the ways we share information and services, both
on the public Internet and within organizations. That original
proposal contained the seeds of another effort that has not yet
blossomed: a Semantic Web designed to enable computer programs to
share and understand structured and semi-structured information
easily. We will review the evolution of the idea and technologies to
realize a Web of Data and describe how we are exploiting them to
enhance information retrieval and information extraction.
