TL;DR

This paper proposes transforming the Web into a semantic network focused on Complexity science, aiming to benefit the community and demonstrate self-referential application of research.

Contribution

It introduces the Semantic Web concept to the Complexity community and outlines a project to create a semantic network of related information providers.

Findings

Conceptual framework for a Complexity-based Semantic Web.

Initial project milestones outlined for implementation.

Potential benefits for community and self-application.

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to introduce the idea of the Semantic Web to the Complexity community and set a basic ground for a project resulting in creation of Internet-based semantic network of Complexity-related information providers. Implementation of the Semantic Web technology would be of mutual benefit to both the participants and users and will confirm self-referencing power of the community to apply the products of its own research to itself. We first explain the logic of the transition and discuss important notions associated with the Semantic Web technology. We then present a brief outline of the project milestones.
