Week 9-10

5) What is the 'semantic web'?

The semantic web is a way to share content over and above the realms of the internet. “The Semantic Web agent does not include artificial intelligence – rather, it relies on structured sets of information and inference rules that allow it to “understand” the relationship between different data resources. The computer doesn’t really understand information the way a human can, but it has enough information to make logical connections and decisions.”
The semantic web is not different to the internet; it is technology that allows for the processing of the semantics of the internet, what the sites are actually saying. The Semantic Web will put structure into the content of Web pages that create meaning, and allow computers to work together efficiently.
