What is the 'semantic web'?
Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the World Wide Web defines the semantic web as “a web of data that can be processed directly and indirectly by machines.” (Altova.) In his view, all the data available now on the World Wide Web will be 'read' by machines, which will be in a 'language' only the world wide web can read and process. This makes the data accessible to machines, which in turn will make the World Wide Web easier to use for humans.
