Public Sticky notes
The Semantic Web concept was envisioned by World Wide Web pioneer Tim
Berners-Lee as a system for connecting Web information based on the meaning and
context of information. To summarize the difference between this idea and the
current model, think of your current Google or Yahoo search as a popularity
contest between sites that have mentioned your search keywords. Websites are
ranked by search engines largely based on how frequently they are visited and
updated. For the most part, the search engine does not understand how search
terms may relate to the search result. In the Semantic Web model, data on the
Internet contains contextual meaning so that a search can access information
that you really want. Instead of merely presenting a list of websites with your
keyword, the search can connect your search interest with information that is
contextually related to the desired topic. The end product of a Semantic Web
enabled search tool is the ability to produce a smarter Internet - one where
users can actually communicate with the information on the Web instead of
stumbling upon it.
