SEMANTIC WEB FOR E-COMMERCE

--YEFIM KATS


2/19

Abstract :

This paper examines an impact of the growing intelligent agent technologiesand the Semantic Web on the phenomenon of e-commerce.

We discuss the problems – technical as well as legal – arising from theemergence of the new forms of intelligent software and consider the

possible solutions.

In particular, we review how the integration of the Semantic Web and

intelligent agents can provide a new environment for the secure and scalablee-commerce applications.

INTRODUCTION

IN THIS PAPER WE ANALYSE AND DEVELOP SOME OF THE ISSUES RELATED TO THE

EMERGING FORMS OF INTELLIGENT SOFTWARE PRIMARILY IN RESPECT OF E-COMMERCE

! THE NEWLY ARRIVING PHENOMENON OF SEMANTIC WEB"

IN THESE AREAS INTELLIGENT SOFTWARE IN GENERAL AND INTELLIGENT AGENTS IN

PARTICULAR OFFER SIGNIFICANT BENEFITS POSING SPECIAL CHALLENGES TOO"

THE RELEVANT PROBLEMS IS VERY WIDE AND COVERS NOT ONLY TECHNICAL BUT ALSO

LEGAL ISSUES RELATED TO E-COMMERCE SEMANTIC WEB WEB ONTOLOGIES AND

INTELLIGENT AGENT TECHNOLOGIES"

THIS PAPER GIVES AN OUTLINE OF THE GROWING PROBLEMS AND POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS"
