The semantic web remains in the early stages of development. It has not yet achieved the goals envisioned by its founders as a pervasive web of distributed knowledge and intelligence. Success will be attained when a dynamic synergism can be created between people and a sufficient number of infrastructure systems and tools for the semantic web in analogy with those for the original web. The domain name system (DNS), web browsers, and the benefits of publishing web pages motivated many people to register domain names and publish web sites on the original web. An analogous resource label system, semantic search applications, and the benefits of collaborative semantic networks will motivate people to register resource labels and publish resource descriptions on the semantic web. The Domain Ontology Oriented Resource System (DOORS) and Problem Oriented Registry of Tags and Labels (PORTAL) are proposed as infrastructure systems for resource metadata within a paradigm that can serve as a bridge between the original web and the semantic web. The Internet Registry Information Service (IRIS) registers [corrected] domain names while DNS publishes domain addresses with mapping of names to addresses for the original web. Analogously, PORTAL registers resource labels and tags while DOORS publishes resource locations and descriptions with mapping of labels to locations for the semantic web. BioPORT is proposed as a prototype PORTAL registry specific for the problem domain of biomedical computing.
语义网仍处于发展的早期阶段。它尚未实现其创建者所设想的作为分布式知识和智能的普及网络的目标。当人与足够数量的语义网基础设施系统和工具之间能够像在原始网络中那样形成动态协同效应时，才能取得成功。域名系统（DNS）、网页浏览器以及发布网页的好处促使许多人在原始网络上注册域名并发布网站。类似地，资源标签系统、语义搜索应用程序以及协作语义网络的好处将促使人们在语义网上注册资源标签并发布资源描述。面向领域本体的资源系统（DOORS）和面向问题的标签与标记注册表（PORTAL）被提议作为资源元数据的基础设施系统，其范式可作为原始网络和语义网之间的桥梁。互联网注册信息服务（IRIS）注册[更正后]域名，而DNS发布域名地址以及原始网络中名称到地址的映射。类似地，PORTAL注册资源标签和标记，而DOORS发布资源位置和描述以及语义网中标签到位置的映射。BioPORT被提议作为针对生物医学计算问题领域的PORTAL注册表原型。
