What is the 'semantic web'?
Tim Berners-Lee (2001) discusses the concept of a semantic web in todays society, which is basically an internet which semantically filters out searches to find more specific and needed websites and pages rather than the usual 'routine processing' (e.g. linked pages, matching words) and so it would be much more intelligent than the world wide web.
Berners-Lee defines the need for such an idea because 'most of the Web's content today is designed for humans to read, not for computer programs to manipulate meaningfully' and so 'in general, computers have no reliable way to process the semantics'
