Researchers hope that soon web technology will get to the point where, as you drive into town, an application spots a space in a nearby car park, calculates how long and what route to get there, and that no one else is closer. We are not there yet, but researchers believe the semantic web is about to make it big. Companies will find it easier to integrate datasets and access information -- internal and external -- while consumers should find their web searches are more fruitful and web services more functional.
