Assignment 4


The semantic web is an extension of the web bringing structure to meaningful content and creating a space where software can readily carry out sophisticated tasks for users, better enabling computers and people to cooperate. In the future developments will continue to thrive and significant leaps will be made in functionality as computers become better at processing and understanding the data that today they only display. To function computers need access to structured sets of inference rules they use to conduct automated reasoning. There are 3 essential technologies involved in the semantic web, 1st being  eXtensible Markup Language lets everyone create their own tags to annotate webpages, giving you the ability to add structure, 2nd being Resource Description Framework which gives the structures created meaning , and the 3rd collections of information called ontologies used to compare and combine information.
