**Semantic Web** is a term coined by [|World Wide Web Consortium] (W3C) director [|Tim Berners-Lee] .[|[1]] It describes methods and technologies to allow machines to understand the meaning - or "semantics" - of information on the [|World Wide Web] .[|[2]]

The **Semantic Web** is the extension of the World Wide Web that enables people to share //content// beyond the boundaries of applications and websites. It has been described in rather different ways: as a //utopic vision//, as a //web of data//, or merely as a //natural paradigm shift// in our daily use of the Web. Most of all, the Semantic Web has inspired and engaged many people to create innovative semantic technologies and applications. **semanticweb.org** is the common platform for this community.
