Abstract
It is our contention that the World Wide Web poses challenges to
knowledge representation systems that fundamentally change the way we
should design KR languages. In this paper, we describe the Simple HTML
Ontology Extensions (SHOE), a KR language which allows web pages to be
annotated with semantics. We present a formalism for the language and
discuss the features which make it well suited for the Web. We describe
the syntax and semantics of this language, and discuss the differences
from traditional KR systems that make it more suited to modern web
applications. We also describe some generic tools for using the language
and demonstrate its capabilities by describing two prototype systems
that use it. We also discuss some future tools currently being
developed for the language. The language, tools, and details of the
applications are all available on the World Wide Web at
