9. Semantic Web – What Up?
“The Semantic Web is an extension of the current web in which information is given well-defined meaning, better enabling computers and people to work in cooperation.” The Semantic Web, Scientific American, May 2001, Tim Berners-Lee, James Hendler and Ora Lassila
The Semantic Web is about two things:
Common formats for integration/combination of data drawn from diverse sources
Language & Connections & Collaboration recording how the data relates to real world objects
