What is the 'Semantic Web'?
http://semanticweb.org/wiki/Main_Page This webpage states that 'the Semantic Web is the extension of the World Wide Web that enables people to share content beyond the boundaries of applications and websites' and from this video on youtube we can see how this happens. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGg8A2zfWKg. This short video outlines and introduction to the semantic web.
A defenition to what the word 'semantic' mean is ... 'The meaning behind what is said'. More than just words and letters in a sentence can be used for example the use of images can get across the same meaning. This video simply says that communication is key to the semantic web. computers connect with each other through the web as people do through their months etc. By expressing the possibilities of the semantic web this video states that our search engines etc will be alot more accurate in the future than they are today. By not depending on just key words the search engine also refers to the semantics of that page so your search is more advanced.
By using google images i found this image of the Semantic web http://blogs.nesta.org.uk/photos/uncategorized/2007/07/26/semantic_web_2.gif This image clearly seperates Web 0.1 Web 0.2 and the Semantic Web. These images will also become handy when defining Web 0.3.
