Semantic Web takes a step forward

NetworkWorld published an interesting article in its latest issue on the W3C's (World Wide Web Consortium) publication of SPARQL (pronounced "sparkle") as a recommendation, the highest form a standard can take from the W3C. If you think of the Semantic Web as a bunch of databases of information, SPARQL is a standard by which users can query that huge database. Just another step forward, and an important one, in the evolution of the Semantic Web.
