What is the Semantic Web
“The
Semantic Web is an extension of the current Web in which information is given a
well-defined meaning, better enabling computers and people to work in cooperation. It is the idea of having data on the Web defined and
linked in a way that it can be used for more effective discovery, automation,
integration and reuse across various applications. The Web can reach its full potential if it
becomes a place where data can be processed by automated tools as well as
people”
