UBL & the Semantic Web
UBL is “now” (should have been yesterday) –
addressing a real need so that business can
effectively be served
The Semantic Web is somewhere in the “future” –
representing how the Internet could have served
humanity better
However, if done right, UBL can help provide a
bridge for us to transition from “here” (the Web as
we know it now) to “there” -- the Web where we
can have true semantic interoperability
