Nowadays, large amounts of Web contents are being distributed on the Internet. Conventional search engines are not useful for analyzing the relations between related knowledge since a number of Web contents may indicate a similar concept by different words.

Users search Web pages for different purposes, such as for education, for accessing information on current affairs, or for gaining knowledge.We believe that the next-generation Web connects each page with not only conventional hyper links but also knowledge links. The knowledge link has to be created by novel knowledge processing technologies. The technologies consist of knowledge gathering, storage, and delivery technologies. In this study, we discuss novel knowledge modeling, management, distribution, and analysis technologies. All these technologies are essential to build the next-generation Web, named Knowledge Web.
