Other experiments (De Bruijn, Fensel,
Keller, & Lara, 2005; Harper & Bechhofer, 2005) hint at different exciting possibilities to
enhance the knowledge acquisition process for users, but still lack the unified foundation
required to build a whole generation of such service enhancements. The need for such a
foundation is proven by some extensive first-generation systems (Lin, Harding, & Teoh,
2005)), which show the basic building blocks that will be required again and again, and thus
are the primary target for standardization attempts.
To cope with this situation we propose a new model of regarding future applications building
on the foundations mentioned so far, a unit of abstraction we have named Hyperservices.
Proposing Hyperservices as a Unified Application Model
We believe that the next important step will be to find a unifying, language- and systemindependent
architecture that allows for a convergence in current research areas surrounding
the Semantic Web. When we talk about Web-based applications, we mean ???based on Web
technologies???. Web technologies have been widely accepted and have managed to bring
together disparate system structures. While this goal in the first moment might be very
ambitious, we will present a very simple (one might think trivial) way of allowing all these
technologies to be integrated into current run-time environments.
