At its core, the semantic web comprises a philosophy,http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/Activity a set of design principles,http://www.w3.org/DesignIssues/ collaborative (RDF), a variety of data interchange formats (e.g. RDF/XML , N3 , Turtle , N-Triples ), and notations such as RDF Schema (RDFS) and the Web Ontology Language (OWL), all of which are intended to provide a Formal Description of Concept s, Terms , and Relationships within a given Knowledge Domain . PURPOSE Humans are capable of using the Web to carry out tasks such as finding the Finnish word for "car", to reserve a library book, or to search for the cheapest DVD and buy it. However, a computer cannot accomplish the same tasks without human direction because web pages are designed to be read by people, not machines. The semantic web is a vision of information that is understandable by computers, so that they can perform more of the tedious works involved in finding, sharing and combining information on the web. For example, a computer might be instructed to list the prices of flat screen HDTVs larger than 40 inches with 1080p resolution at shops in the nearest town that are open until 8pm on Tuesday evenings. Today, this task requires search engines that are individually tailored to every website being searched. The semantic web provides a common standard (RDF) for websites to publish the relevant Information in a more readily machine-processable and integratable form. |
