Abstract
This paper discusses potential usage of Semantic Web in business applications and provides one way to proceed faster.
Current situation in Semantic Web application area is discussed. General appropriate trends in technology development and in communication industry and industry general are reviewed in order to see how Semantic Web technology fits with these trends.
Finally this paper suggests that, to get the technology into use, a common application framework should be formed. This framework shall look not only the technology, but also application, ICT architectures and business models this technology makes relevant. Definition of this framework is proposed to be a part of a road map process for which guidelines are provided.
