Well, right from the pragmatic computing environment to the evolution of the web as a concept, owing to an organization’s (the combination of CERN and Tim Berners-Lee) need to share documents located on their many computers, the world wide web has come a long way to offer many a benefit to the world of computers delimited by location.
The current web represents information using natural language. The World Wide Web is mainly based on document written Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), a markup convention that is used for coding a body of text interspersed with multimedia objects such as images interactive forms.
The web’s mettle is evident by way of its effective powerful human-computer-human collaboration. Thus, available information may be transcended beyond network boundaries form one place of computing location to another.
But the information sufficient from the web need not have semantic or meaning in simple term. For example, the current web is unaware that Comapp is a magazine published by the CAA that Michael Jordan was Basketball player of the 90’s, so on and so forth. i.e. the web is designed for human consumption, and thus lacks a sense of understanding; the web does not have a partial sixth sense in place and the knowledge domain is a mandate of the human mind.
Thus, for the purpose of limitless participation, i.e. the participation of humans as well as machines, the concept of Semantic web was evolved. Semantic web is an evolving extension of the World Wide Web where in web content can be expressed not only in natural language, but also in a form that can be read and used by software agents, thus permitting them to find, share, and integrate assimilated information more easily.
The very word semantic relates to the study of meaning and changes of meaning, the latter in English being words having dissimilar contextual meaning. So, Semantic web enforces the expelling of human intervention for browsing through search pages, reading the labels on hyperlinks, and deciding the links to traverse, by enforcing a process which would proceed on its own as a substitute for the above stated sequence of human capabilities.
Semantic Web probes to transform data located anywhere on the web accessible and understandable, both to people and to machines. Semantic Web, envisioned by Tim Berners-Lee, is prime and remains green owing to the same being an informally defined concept rather than an integrated, working system. Thus, the evolution of the World Wide Web to substantiate computing power with interpretive prowess has disembarked a new era of “Web Based Services”.
Although it is said that human knowledge belongs to the world, Semantic Web shows that computers share a small integral part of the same.
