What Is The Semantic Web?
The Semantic Web is a mesh of information linked up in such a way as to be easily processable
by machines, on a global scale. You can think of it as being an efficient way of representing data
on the World Wide Web, or as a globally linked database.
Purpose
The main purpose of the Semantic Web is driving the evolution of the current Web by enabling
users to find, share, and combine information more easily. The semantic web is a vision of
information that can be readily interpreted by machines, so machines can perform more of the
tedious work involved in finding, combining, and acting upon information on the web.
Challenges
Some of the challenges for the Semantic Web include vastness, vagueness, uncertainty,
inconsistency, and deceit. Automated reasoning systems will have to deal with all of these issues
in order to deliver on the promise of the Semantic Web.
Because we use URIs for each of the terms in our languages, we can publish the languages easily
without fear that they might get misinterpreted or stolen, and with the knowledge that anyone in
the world that has a generic RDF processor can use them
There are many ways in which one can contribute to creating the Semantic Web. Here's a few of
them:-
There are many other ways in which one can help as well: ask in the community for more details.
