The World Wide Web of the future will contain significantly more information. It will be enabled to machine process the information stored allowing users to find information with less work. The adoption of standards like eXtensible Markup Language (XML) and the Resource Description Framework (RDF) on the WWW are significant steps to realize the vision of the concept of the "Semantic Web." World Wide Web Consortium standards such as XML and RDF are being used to create the "Semantic Web." DARPA is using XML on the DARPA Markup Language (DAML) project. XML, RDF, Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing will be combined to implement the Semantic Web. Software Solutions proposes to develop a standards-based system of software packages incorporating Machine Learning that will allow intelligent record linking and searching of the World Wide Web of the future for the most relevant information to the user. The underlying software technology will utilize XML and RDF standards and facilities. The user interface to the system will learn a particular user's human language concepts and associate these with similar concepts from the semantic web and databases, as well as learn from other human users in the same area of expertise. A machine record linkage system, generated rules and heuristics, linkage repository, and machine learning algorithms can be sold to government agencies, companies, universities and research institutes and search engine companies on a worldwide basis
