The document provides an introduction to the Semantic Web, including:
- The Semantic Web extends the current web by giving information well-defined meaning so computers and people can better work together.
- It aims to make data easier for machines to publish, share, find and understand through smarter data rather than just smarter machines.
- Examples of Semantic Web applications include Bio2RDF, which provides structured data about genes, and the BBC publishing semantic metadata about musical artists.
