Sin­ce the 70’s, com­pu­ter sci­en­tists, es­pe­cial­ly tho­se working in the do­main of ar­ti­fi­ci­al in­tel­li­gence, have at­temp­ted to con­struct au­to­ma­ted know­ledge sys­tems and dif­fe­rent tech­ni­cal sche­mes for the re­pre­sen­ta­ti­on of know­ledge. Among them, the most well known is the CYC pro­ject[1], which is pre­mi­sed on the be­lief that one can con­struct a re­pre­sen­ta­ti­on sys­tem of com­mon sen­se know­led­ges that users can se­arch and learn from.

Ne­ver­the­l­ess, in­dus­tries still used me­ta­da­ta sche­mes du­ring this pe­ri­od in or­der to en­han­ce the in­ter­ope­ra­bi­li­ty of ma­chi­nes, but with a more hum­ble name: mark-up lan­gua­ges. We can see very cle­ar­ly a tech­ni­cal li­ne­age of in­dus­tri­al stan­dar­di­sa­ti­on with the­se mark-up lan­gua­ges, for ex­amp­le, from SGML, to HTML, to XML and XHTML, to Web On­to­lo­gies (Hui 2012).
