THE SEMANTIC WEB


The SW is an evolving development of the World Wide Web that tries to understand and satisfy the content requests of people and machines. It comprises:

  • A set of design principles.
  • Collaborative working groups.
  • A variety of enabling technologies.

Humans use the Web to carry out tasks that computers cannot accomplish without human direction because web pages are designed to be read by people, not machines.
