Abstract
The emerging Semantic Web technologies have the potential to deeply influence the further development of the Internet Economy. In this paper we propose a scenario based research approach to predict the effects of these new technologies on electronic markets and business models of traders and intermediaries. We develop a concrete scenario for the domain of business to consumer electronic commerce and explain its technical realization. Furthermore, we analyse the potential impacts on market participants and highlight a range of technical and organizational obstacles which have to be solved before semantic technologies can be deployed in an e-business context.
