This publishing service called semanticWeb Germany aims in providing general information and facts about the activities around the new area of the SemanticWeb. It might help to support the existing activities and streams, especially with respect to Germany - semanticWeb Germany - and / or Deutschland - semanticWeb Deutschland - and trys to disseminate broadly information and popular prepared "scientific insider knowledge". In this way "semanticWeb Germany" maybe helps to illustrate what the Semantic Web should be and could provide - considering realisation and practice aspects. Apart to SemanticWeb specific topics - further thematically related scientific areas are touched and considered: Knowledge Management, Artificial Intelligence, Multi Agent Techniques, Peer-to-Peer and Grid Computing, e/c-Business, Business Intelligence etc.

Dieser "semanticweb Deutschland" genannte Informations Dienst ziehlt darauf ab, moeglichst umfassend und zeitnah allgemeine Informationen und Fakten ueber das noch "junge" SemanticWeb anzubieten. Somit koennte ein Beitrag geleistet werden, die bestehenden Aktivitaeten und Stroemungen, z.B. in Deutschland - semanticweb Deutschland - und darueberhinaus in Europa - semanticWeb Europa - zu unterstuetzen.
Es wird damit der Versuch unternommen, Detail Information und wissenschaftliches Insider Wissen einer breiten Oeffentlichkeit zur Verfuegung zu stellen. Insbesondere mag dieser Dienst "semanticweb Deutschland" dabei helfen, dar- und herauszustellen, was das SemanticWeb zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt ist und in Zukunft sein wird - und das verstaerkt unter Berücksichtigung von Realisierungs- und Praxis-Aspekten.
Neben der Beschreibung Semanticweb relevanter Themen werden weitere artverwandte Bereiche aufgezeigt, wie: Wissens Verwaltung, Kuenstliche Intelligenz, Multi Agenten Systeme, Peer-to-Peer und Grid-Computing, e-Business, Intelligentes Geschaeftswesen (Business Intelligence).
