Ready for the next big thing in the Internet? It’scalled Semantic Web and is loosely defined as anassortment of technologies to help readers betterunderstand online information.

HuffPo invested into semantic technology byacquiring Adaptive Semantics, Inc. to use the“wisdom of machines” to curate the “wisdom of

the crowds.” Google brought the semantic search startup Metaweb into its ever-growingfamily to make searches even smarter.

But what exactly does Semantic Web mean for you? According to the World Wide WebConsortium (W3C) there are a few ways this emerging technology can be useful:

Data integration: This is essentially a Web of data. Semantic Universe explains that it willallow all types of data, online and off, to be shared across different applications.

Resource discovery and classification: What Google is gunning for. Semantic Web canbe used to provide domain specific search engine capabilities.

Cataloging: Today, a search for “dog food” yields a whole mess of other info that is onlyrelevant through matched keywords. Semantic Web will pull the concept of “dog food”first, and then bring in all other related facts.

Register for Semantic Web Summit on November 16-17 in Boston to learn from innovatorsacross industries and to see how Semantic Web can transform your business.
