What the editors say<br />
about IJKEDM<br />
<strong>Knowledge</strong> engineering <strong>and</strong> data mining are areas<br />
that have great potential in shaping our future.<br />
Indications are that the next break-throughs in<br />
computational biology, bioinformatics, <strong>and</strong><br />
computational intelligence will only be possible by<br />
advancements in knowledge engineering <strong>and</strong> data<br />
mining. It is indeed a great pleasure <strong>and</strong> honor to<br />
be on the editorial board <strong>of</strong> a journal that plans to<br />
define the research road map for years to come.<br />

The Semantic Web aims to bridge the gap<br />
between people <strong>and</strong> machines by introducing to<br />
the machines semantics <strong>of</strong> information so to bring<br />
the web to its full potential. The Semantic Web<br />
research focuses on knowledge <strong>and</strong> intelligence<br />
from its practical <strong>and</strong> applicable perspectives. It<br />
covers a wide range <strong>of</strong> studies such as intelligent<br />
browser, ontology integration, knowledge grid,<br />
<strong>and</strong> web intelligence.<br />
