Week 9/10 - What is the 'Semantic Web'?

The semantic web is the notion that computer applications will ‘learn’ to accommodate users through “data integration, knowledge representation and analysis, cataloguing services, improving search algorithms and methods, social networks, etc.” (http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/SW-FAQ) In terms of hyperlinks (web 2.0) these won’t be apparent in that there will be more of an integration to make an easier way of using the internet and linking pages and site. Accessing information and using the internet will be more efficient for new technology users. Semantic web runs along with the developments of the internet as a separate part of the internet to increase and improve access of the internet for the next generation.
