Below is brief description of it. There is also an article in the new
"Economist" by Tim Berners-Lee.
+++++++++++++
The word semantic stands for the meaning of. The semantic of something is the
meaning of something.
The Semantic Web is a web that is able to describe things in a way that
computers can understand.
The Beatles was a popular band from Liverpool.
John Lennon was a member of the Beatles.
The record "Hey Jude" was recorded by the
Beatles.
Sentences like these can be understood by people. But how can they be
understood by computers?
Statements are built with syntax rules. The syntax of a language defines the
rules for building the language statements. But how can syntax become semantic?
This is what the Semantic Web is all about. Describing things in a way that
computers applications can understand.
The Semantic Web is not about links between web pages.
The Semantic Web
describes the relationships between things (like A is a part of B and Y is a
member of
Z) and the properties of things (like size, weight, age, and
price)++++++++++++++++++++
It uses RDF (tags) for describing
information and resources on the web.
