Arguing on the Semantic Grid

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

In the last decade, the rapid evolution of Internet technologies has opened new perspectives, created new application areas, provided new social environments for communication and posed new challenges. Among the most influential domains of Internet sciences to date we find Web services, Grid computing, the Web 2.0, and the Semantic Web. These are components of a wider vision, which we call the Semantic Grid.
