What is the Semantic Wave?
The semantic wave is a long wave of investment involving fundamental shifts in paradigm, technology, and economics. It will provide infrastructure and reasoning engines to fuel exponential economic expansion.

Semantic Wave 2006—Part-1 is a quick guide to the business value of semantic wave technologies and markets. It provides information and perspectives that are intended to help:
(a) business line executives seeking strategic advantage in global market spaces by exploiting next generation technology;
(b) technologists and integrators responsible for R&D of advanced capabilities; and
(c) venture capitalists and entrepreneurs seeking to pioneer high-growth business opportunities.

The guide is organized as follows:

• Semantic wave — Introduces “distributed intelligence” as a long wave of investment involving fundamental shifts in paradigm, technology, and economics. Depicts the cumulative economics of the semantic wave.
• Semantic technologies — Defines semantic technologies. Highlights trends and drivers that are shaping this semantic wave, and the direction it is heading. Explains what aspects of information and communication technologies (ICT) they impact.
  
• Business value of semantic technologies — Discusses the business value of semantic technologies. Describes capabilities of semantic technologies and how these impact development, infrastructure, information and knowledge, information-intensive applications, knowledge-intensive applications, system behaviors, and intellectual property. Explains how semantic technologies improve lifecycle return on investment (ROI). Summarizes performance of semantic technologies in terms of efficiency, effectiveness, and strategic edge.
  
• Signs of life in the marketplace — Overviews early adopter case examples illustrate where, how, and in what ways semantic technologies are being applied, and to what effect. Identifies companies that are working on semantic technology R&D, products, and service delivery.
  
• Semantic wave market view — Characterizes semantic wave markets, their structure, size and growth, and how they will evolve to 2015. Sets forth the basis for this outlook.
  
• Industry study — Provides a pre-publication preview a new industry study entitled: Semantic Wave 2006, Part-2: Industry Roadmap for Net-Centric Semantic Interoperability, Knowledge Work Automation, and Systems that Know. The study outline and order form follow this guide.
