Machines, with their rigid information processing capabilities, need everything spelled out for them. To be able to do something useful with this title and byline, a machine would need to be able to parse it correctly. It would need to know that the numbe

Very cool Semantic Web use case Demo via Piggy Bank's sever component called "Semantic Bank". These complimentary projects are part of the MIT SMILE project. As you can see Web 2.0 and the Semantic Web are mutually inclusive paradigms as reemphasized

Clay also mentions that the Semantic Web has two goals: to get people to use meta-data and the other is to build a global ontology that pulls all this data together. He applauds the first while stating that the second is …audacious but doomed.

The semantic web data model is very directly connected with the model of relational databases. The Semantic Web is not designed just as a new data model - it is specifically appropriate to the linking of data of many different models. One of the great thi

The Semantic Web is a web of data, in some ways like a global database. When looking at a possible formulation of a universal Web of semantic assertions, the principle of minimalist design requires that it be based on a common model of great generality.

SemWeb (SW) operates on the principle of shared data. When you define what a particular type of data is, you can link it to other bits of data and say "that's the same"...for example, "zip" in my SW system is the same as "zip" in my friends. Although it g

While it's easy for a human to figure out the meaning of a web page ("Mom! They sell pokemons!"), this usually isn't true for software programs. How much more could we benefit from the knowledge freely available online if our computers understood the info

On the Semantic Web (SemWeb), computers do the browsing (and searching, and querying, and...) for us. The SemWeb enables computers to seek out knowledge distributed throughout the Web, mesh it, and then take action based on it. Take an analogy: the curren

markup means something when we can identify it and do useful things with it. In this way, semantic markup becomes more than merely descriptive. It becomes a brilliant mechanism that allows both humans and machines to “understand” the same information.
Lexical ambiguity arises when context is insufficient to determine the sense of a single word that has more than one meaning. Syntactic ambiguity arises when a sentence can be parsed in more than one way. Semantic ambiguity arises when a word or concept
