What is The Semantic Web

Posted on 23. Jan, 2010 by admin in News

What on earth is ‘The Semantic Web’ ?

Well im not sure either but I thought I would start a blog so that I could find out. What i do know it has been conceived by Tim Berners-Lee widely known as the man who invented the Internet.

Lets get the Wikipedia definition to start with:

The Semantic Web is an evolving development of the World Wide Web in which the meaning (semantics) of information and services on the web is defined, making it possible for the web to “understand” and satisfy the requests of people and machines to use the web content.^[1][2] It derives from World Wide Web Consortium director Sir Tim Berners-Lee’s vision of the Web as a universal medium for data, information, and knowledge exchange.^[3]

OK does that make sense? No

Lets have a look at a video
