Semantic web

Semantics is the study of meaning in communication, so this lecture on the semantic web was suggesting that the semantic web would be the evolving for of the current world wide web, making the web capable of understanding your interests and browsing habbits and being able to tailor it's searches and focus to bring you informantion and products of a similar nature. It would be able to do this by being able to gather information about information and data about data, this would result in a understanding and responsive web that could read web pages that previously are only readable by humans and then would be able to search for other simmilar sites.

the semantic web would involve publishing in machine and human readable language like Xml this is similar to OOP or object orientated programing and is the basis for the semantic web.
