Although the project contributed to build an infrastructure for applications of the
Semantic Web to KM as well as development of tools, it did not deal with business
issues associated with being considered as strategic relationships between
information technology (IT) and management. Also, it is at an early stage to claim
that such tools can become killer applications. The realization of the Semantic Web
capabilities requires a killer application. According to Chen (2004), developers
need to build applications available to the public because there is no killer application.
KM is a very promising area of killer applications for the Semantic Web.
Developing research agendas on killer applications is necessary for the realization
of the potential for the Semantic Web through its application to KM. The view that
widespread adoption of IT is dependent on the development of a killer application
has widely been recognized (Meyer, 1998). According to Middleton (2003), in particular,
it is important to develop the killer applications in user-centric view rather
than provider-centric view.
