And that illustrates why one defines it as a service 
instead of a semantic web.  That makes it clear from 
the inception what a particular database is designed 
to do, how it will be used, who can use it, what role 
is required of the user, what security must be available 
for the user, the machine node security and so forth.  
Universal access is not reasonable for IS-A systems 
because they immediately call to question the definition 
of trust. 

Services will be registered and subject to approval 
of something like the FTC or FCC. IS-A systems make it inevitable. 
It is one thing to use a machine to order a labeled toy; it is 
another thing for a toy to label the person who orders it.

More information on what the *emantic Web idea is:

 The W3C's long term golas for the Web are:

 1. Universal Access.  ...
 2. Semantic Web: To develop a software environment that permits each
user to make the
    best use of the resources available on the Web;
 3. Web of Trust. ...

See  http:///www.w3.org/Consortium/#goals


So the semantic web is not just arcs and nodes, but an environment that
has to be useful.
