Designed for humans ﬁrst and
machines second, microformats are
a set of simple, open data formats
built upon existing and widely
adopted standards.

The Semantic Web
The Semantic Web is not a separate Web but an extension of
the current one, in which information is given well-defined
meaning, better enabling computers and people to work in
cooperation.

It is a source to retrieve information from the web(using the
web spiders from RDF files) and access the data through
Semantic Web Agents or Semantic Web Services. Simply
Semantic Web is data about data or metadata.

left was OMFG. The steak was good..bland...but good. But i paid 20 bucks for a dinner..i expect to get good
rolls..not dry bread. A dinner salad..with real dressing..not mayo sprinkled with paprika. And the baked
potato..could u be any less cheap. It looked, and felt like it had been sitting in a warm oven all day. It was dry
and hard..and all they did was cut it open......yea thats it. no toppings at all. They brink u a plate with butter
and sour cream..geez. That was my first and last time going there. If i could i would have paid the waitress the
30 bucks we spent instead of the meal.</blockquote>
