<p>The <b>Semantic Web</b>, sometimes known as <b>Web 3.0</b>, is an extension of the <a href="World_Wide_Web" title="World Wide Web">World Wide Web</a> through standards<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> set by the <a href="World_Wide_Web_Consortium" title="World Wide Web Consortium">World Wide Web Consortium</a> (W3C). The goal of the Semantic Web is to make <a href="Internet" title="Internet">Internet</a> data <a href="Machine-readable" class="mw-redirect" title="Machine-readable">machine-readable</a>.
</p><p>To enable the encoding of <a href="Semantics" title="Semantics">semantics</a> with the data, technologies such as <a href="Resource_Description_Framework" title="Resource Description Framework">Resource Description Framework</a> (RDF)<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and <a href="Web_Ontology_Language" title="Web Ontology Language">Web Ontology Language</a> (OWL)<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> are used. These technologies are used to formally represent <a href="Metadata" title="Metadata">metadata</a>. For example, <a href="Ontology_(information_science)" title="Ontology (information science)">ontology</a> can describe <a href="Concept" title="Concept">concepts</a>, relationships between <a href="Entity%E2%80%93relationship_model" title="Entity–relationship model">entities</a>, and categories of things. These embedded semantics offer significant advantages such as <a href="Reasoning_engine" class="mw-redirect" title="Reasoning engine">reasoning</a> over data and operating with heterogeneous data sources.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
These standards promote common data formats and exchange protocols on the Web, fundamentally the RDF. According to the W3C, "The Semantic Web provides a common framework that allows data to be shared and reused across application, enterprise, and community boundaries."<sup id="cite_ref-W3C-SWA_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-W3C-SWA-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The Semantic Web is therefore regarded as an integrator across different content and information applications and systems.

<p>One of the advantages of using <a href="Uniform_Resource_Identifier" title="Uniform Resource Identifier">Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs)</a> is that they can be dereferenced using the <a href="HTTP" title="HTTP">HTTP</a> protocol. According to the so-called <a href="Linked_Open_Data" class="mw-redirect" title="Linked Open Data">Linked Open Data</a> principles, such a dereferenced URI should result in a document that offers further data about the given URI. In this example, all URIs, both for edges and nodes (e.g. <code class="mw-highlight mw-highlight-lang-text mw-content-ltr" style="" dir="ltr">http://schema.org/Person</code>, <code class="mw-highlight mw-highlight-lang-text mw-content-ltr" style="" dir="ltr">http://schema.org/birthPlace</code>, <code class="mw-highlight mw-highlight-lang-text mw-content-ltr" style="" dir="ltr">http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q1731</code>) can be dereferenced and will result in further RDF graphs, describing the URI, e.g. that Dresden is a city in Germany, or that a person, in the sense of that URI, can be fictional.

<p>The concept of the <a href="Semantic_network" title="Semantic network">semantic network</a> model was formed in the early 1960s by researchers such as the <a href="Cognitive_science" title="Cognitive science">cognitive scientist</a> <a href="Allan_M._Collins" title="Allan M.

Collins</a>, <a href="Linguistics" title="Linguistics">linguist</a> Ross Quillian and <a href="Psychologist" title="Psychologist">psychologist</a> <a href="Elizabeth_F._Loftus" class="mw-redirect" title="Elizabeth F. Loftus">Elizabeth F. Loftus</a> as a form to represent semantically structured knowledge. When applied in the context of the modern internet, it extends the network of <a href="Hyperlink" title="Hyperlink">hyperlinked</a> human-readable <a href="Web_pages" class="mw-redirect" title="Web pages">web pages</a> by inserting machine-readable metadata about pages and how they are related to each other. This enables <a href="Web_crawler" title="Web crawler">automated agents</a> to access the Web more intelligently and perform more tasks on behalf of users. The term "Semantic Web" was coined by <a href="Tim_Berners-Lee" title="Tim Berners-Lee">Tim Berners-Lee</a>,<sup id="cite_ref-Berners-Lee_7-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Berners-Lee-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> the inventor of the World Wide Web and director of the World Wide Web Consortium ("<a href="W3C" class="mw-redirect" title="W3C">W3C</a>"), which oversees the development of proposed Semantic Web standards. He defines the Semantic Web as "a web of data that can be processed directly and indirectly by machines".
</p><p>Many of the technologies proposed by the W3C already existed before they were positioned under the W3C umbrella. These are used in various contexts, particularly those dealing with information that encompasses a limited and defined domain, and where sharing data is a common necessity, such as scientific research or data exchange among businesses. In addition, other technologies with similar goals have emerged, such as <a href="Microformat" title="Microformat">microformats</a>.
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Limitations_of_HTML">Limitations of HTML</h3></div>
<p>Many files on a typical computer can be loosely divided into either human-readable documents, or machine-readable data. Examples of human-readable document files are mail messages, reports, and brochures. Examples of machine-readable data files are calendars, address books, playlists, and spreadsheets, which are presented to a user using an application program that lets the files be viewed, searched, and combined.
</p><p>Currently, the World Wide Web is based mainly on documents written in <a href="Hypertext_Markup_Language" class="mw-redirect" title="Hypertext Markup Language">Hypertext Markup Language</a> (HTML), a markup convention that is used for coding a body of text interspersed with multimedia objects such as images and interactive forms. Metadata tags provide a method by which computers can categorize the content of web pages. In the examples below, the field names "keywords", "description" and "author" are assigned values such as "computing", and "cheap widgets for sale" and "John Doe".
</p>
<div class="mw-highlight mw-highlight-lang-html mw-content-ltr" dir="ltr"><pre><span class="p"><</span><span class="nt">meta</span> <span class="na">name</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="s">"keywords"</span> <span class="na">content</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="s">"computing, computer studies, computer"</span> <span class="p">/></span>
<span class="p"><</span><span class="nt">meta</span> <span class="na">name</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="s">"description"</span> <span class="na">content</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="s">"Cheap widgets for sale"</span> <span class="p">/></span>
<span class="p"><</span><span class="nt">meta</span> <span class="na">name</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="s">"author"</span> <span class="na">content</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="s">"John Doe"</span> <span class="p">/></span>
</pre></div>
<p>Because of this metadata tagging and categorization, other computer systems that want to access and share this data can easily identify the relevant values.
</p><p>With HTML and a tool to render it (perhaps <a href="Web_browser" title="Web browser">web browser</a> software, perhaps another <a href="User_agent" title="User agent">user agent</a>), one can create and present a page that lists items for sale. The HTML of this catalog page can make simple, document-level assertions such as "this document's title is 'Widget Superstore<span style="padding-right:.15em;">'</span>", but there is no capability within the HTML itself to assert unambiguously that, for example, item number X586172 is an Acme Gizmo with a retail price of €199, or that it is a consumer product. Rather, HTML can only say that the span of text "X586172" is something that should be positioned near "Acme Gizmo" and "€199", etc. There is no way to say "this is a catalog" or even to establish that "Acme Gizmo" is a kind of title or that "€199" is a price. There is also no way to express that these pieces of information are bound together in describing a discrete item, distinct from other items perhaps listed on the page.
</p><p><a href="Semantic_HTML" title="Semantic HTML">Semantic HTML</a> refers to the traditional HTML practice of markup following intention, rather than specifying layout details directly. For example, the use of <code class="nowrap" style=""><em></code> denoting "emphasis" rather than <code class="nowrap" style=""><i></code>, which specifies <a href="Italics" class="mw-redirect" title="Italics">italics</a>. Layout details are left up to the browser, in combination with <a href="Cascading_Style_Sheets" class="mw-redirect" title="Cascading Style Sheets">Cascading Style Sheets</a>. But this practice falls short of specifying the semantics of objects such as items for sale or prices.
</p><p>Microformats extend HTML syntax to create <a href="Machine-readable_data" class="mw-redirect" title="Machine-readable data">machine-readable</a> semantic markup about objects including people, organizations, events and products.<sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Similar initiatives include <a href="RDFa" title="RDFa">RDFa</a>, <a href="Microdata_(HTML)" title="Microdata (HTML)">Microdata</a> and <a href="Schema.org" title="Schema.org">Schema.org</a>.
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Semantic_Web_solutions">Semantic Web solutions</h3></div>
<p>The Semantic Web takes the solution further. It involves publishing in languages specifically designed for data: <a href="Resource_Description_Framework" title="Resource Description Framework">Resource Description Framework</a> (RDF), <a href="Web_Ontology_Language" title="Web Ontology Language">Web Ontology Language</a> (OWL), and Extensible Markup Language (<a href="XML" title="XML">XML</a>). HTML describes documents and the links between them. RDF, OWL, and XML, by contrast, can describe arbitrary things such as people, meetings, or airplane parts.
</p><p>These technologies are combined in order to provide descriptions that supplement or replace the content of Web documents. Thus, content may manifest itself as descriptive data stored in Web-accessible <a href="Database" title="Database">databases</a>,<sup id="cite_ref-14" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> or as markup within documents (particularly, in Extensible HTML (<a href="XHTML" title="XHTML">XHTML</a>) interspersed with XML, or, more often, purely in XML, with layout or rendering cues stored separately). The machine-readable descriptions enable content managers to add meaning to the content, i.e., to describe the structure of the knowledge we have about that content. In this way, a machine can process knowledge itself, instead of text, using processes similar to human <a href="Deductive_reasoning" title="Deductive reasoning">deductive reasoning</a> and <a href="Inference" title="Inference">inference</a>, thereby obtaining more meaningful results and helping computers to perform automated information gathering and research.
</p><p>An example of a tag that would be used in a non-semantic web page:
</p>
<div class="mw-highlight mw-highlight-lang-xml mw-content-ltr" dir="ltr"><pre><span class="nt"><item></span>blog<span class="nt"></item></span>
</pre></div>
<p>Encoding similar information in a semantic web page might look like this:
</p>
<div class="mw-highlight mw-highlight-lang-xml mw-content-ltr" dir="ltr"><pre><span class="nt"><item</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="na">rdf:about=</span><span class="s">"https://example.org/semantic-web/"</span><span class="nt">></span>Semantic<span class="w"> </span>Web<span class="nt"></item></span>

</p>
<ul><li>Vastness: The World Wide Web contains many billions of pages. The <a href="SNOMED_CT" title="SNOMED CT">SNOMED CT</a> <a href="Medical_terminology" title="Medical terminology">medical terminology</a> <a href="Ontology_(information_science)" title="Ontology (information science)">ontology</a> alone contains 370,000 <a href="Class_(computer_programming)" title="Class (computer programming)">class</a> names, and existing technology has not yet been able to eliminate all semantically duplicated terms. Any automated reasoning system will have to deal with truly huge inputs.</li>
<li>Vagueness: These are imprecise concepts like "young" or "tall". This arises from the vagueness of user queries, of concepts represented by content providers, of matching query terms to provider terms and of trying to combine different <a href="Knowledge_base" title="Knowledge base">knowledge bases</a> with overlapping but subtly different concepts. <a href="Fuzzy_logic" title="Fuzzy logic">Fuzzy logic</a> is the most common technique for dealing with vagueness.</li>
<li>Uncertainty: These are precise concepts with uncertain values. For example, a patient might present a set of symptoms that correspond to a number of different distinct diagnoses each with a different probability. <a href="Probabilistic_logic" title="Probabilistic logic">Probabilistic</a> reasoning techniques are generally employed to address uncertainty.</li>
<li>Inconsistency: These are logical contradictions that will inevitably arise during the development of large ontologies, and when ontologies from separate sources are combined. Deductive reasoning fails catastrophically when faced with inconsistency, because <a href="Principle_of_explosion" title="Principle of explosion">"anything follows from a contradiction"</a>. <a href="Defeasible_reasoning" title="Defeasible reasoning">Defeasible reasoning</a> and <a href="Paraconsistent_logic" title="Paraconsistent logic">paraconsistent reasoning</a> are two techniques that can be employed to deal with inconsistency.</li>
<li>Deceit: This is when the producer of the information is intentionally misleading the consumer of the information. <a href="Cryptography" title="Cryptography">Cryptography</a> techniques are currently utilized to alleviate this threat. By providing a means to determine the information's integrity, including that which relates to the identity of the entity that produced or published the information, however <a href="Credibility" title="Credibility">credibility</a> issues still have to be addressed in cases of potential deceit.</li></ul>

<p>The intent is to enhance the <a href="Usability" title="Usability">usability</a> and usefulness of the Web and its interconnected <a href="Resource_(computer_science)" class="mw-redirect" title="Resource (computer science)">resources</a> by creating <a href="Semantic_web_service" title="Semantic web service">semantic web services</a>, such as:
</p>
<ul><li>Servers that expose existing data systems using the RDF and SPARQL standards.

This could be <a href="Artificial_intelligence" title="Artificial intelligence">machine-understandable</a> information about the human-understandable content of the document (such as the creator, title, description, etc.) or it could be purely metadata representing a set of facts (such as resources and services elsewhere on the site). Note that <i>anything</i> that can be identified with a <i>Uniform Resource Identifier</i> (URI) can be described, so the semantic web can reason about animals, people, places, ideas, etc. There are four semantic annotation formats that can be used in HTML documents; Microformat, RDFa, Microdata and <a href="JSON-LD" title="JSON-LD">JSON-LD</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-35" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-35"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>35<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Semantic markup is often generated automatically, rather than manually.</li></ul>
<ul><li>Common metadata vocabularies (<a href="Ontology_(information_science)" title="Ontology (information science)">ontologies</a>) and maps between vocabularies that allow document creators to know how to mark up their documents so that agents can use the information in the supplied metadata (so that <i>Author</i> in the sense of 'the Author of the page' will not be confused with <i>Author</i> in the sense of a book that is the subject of a book review).</li>
<li>Automated agents to perform tasks for users of the semantic web using this data.</li>
<li><a href="Semantic_translation" title="Semantic translation">Semantic translation</a>. An alternative or complementary approach are improvements to contextual and semantic understanding of texts – these could be aided via Semantic Web methods so that only increasingly small numbers of mistranslations need to be corrected <a href="Machine_translation#Neural_MT" title="Machine translation">in manual or semi-automated post-editing</a>.</li>
<li>Web-based services (often with agents of their own) to supply information specifically to agents, for example, a <a href="Trust_service" class="mw-redirect" title="Trust service">Trust service</a> that an agent could ask if some online store has a history of poor service or <a href="Spamming" title="Spamming">spamming</a>.</li>
<li>Semantic Web ideas are implemented in collaborative structured <a href="Argument_map" title="Argument map">argument mapping</a> sites where their relations are organized semantically, arguments can be mirrored (linked) to multiple places, reused (copied), rated, and <a href="Version_control_software" class="mw-redirect" title="Version control software">changed</a> as semantic distinct units. Ideas for such, or a more widely adopted "World Wide Argument Web", go back to at least 2007<sup id="cite_ref-36" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-36"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>36<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and have been implemented to some degree in <a href="Arg%C3%BCman" title="Argüman">Argüman</a><sup id="cite_ref-37" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-37"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>37<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and <a href="Kialo" title="Kialo">Kialo</a>.

<p>In a corporation, there is a closed group of users and the management is able to enforce company guidelines like the adoption of specific ontologies and use of <a href="Semantic_annotation" class="mw-redirect" title="Semantic annotation">semantic annotation</a>.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Practical_feasibility">Practical feasibility</h3></div>
<p>Critics question the basic feasibility of a complete or even partial fulfillment of the Semantic Web, pointing out both difficulties in setting it up and a lack of general-purpose usefulness that prevents the required effort from being invested. In a 2003 paper, Marshall and Shipman point out the cognitive overhead inherent in formalizing knowledge, compared to the authoring of traditional web <a href="Hypertext" title="Hypertext">hypertext</a>:<sup id="cite_ref-which_46-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-which-46"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>46<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p>
<blockquote class="templatequote"><p>While learning the basics of HTML is relatively straightforward, learning a knowledge representation language or tool requires the author to learn about the representation's methods of abstraction and their effect on reasoning. For example, understanding the class-instance relationship, or the superclass-subclass relationship, is more than understanding that one concept is a "type of" another concept. [...] These abstractions are taught to computer scientists generally and knowledge engineers specifically but do not match the similar natural language meaning of being a "type of" something. Effective use of such a formal representation requires the author to become a skilled knowledge engineer in addition to any other skills required by the domain. [...] Once one has learned a formal representation language, it is still often much more effort to express ideas in that representation than in a less formal representation [...]. Indeed, this is a form of programming based on the declaration of semantic data and requires an understanding of how reasoning algorithms will interpret the authored structures.</p></blockquote>
<p>According to Marshall and Shipman, the <a href="Tacit_knowledge" title="Tacit knowledge">tacit</a> and changing nature of much knowledge adds to the <a href="Knowledge_engineering" title="Knowledge engineering">knowledge engineering</a> problem, and limits the Semantic Web's applicability to specific domains. A further issue that they point out are domain- or organization-specific ways to express knowledge, which must be solved through community agreement rather than only technical means.<sup id="cite_ref-which_46-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-which-46"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>46<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> As it turns out, specialized communities and organizations for intra-company projects have tended to adopt semantic web technologies greater than peripheral and less-specialized communities.<sup id="cite_ref-Herman000_47-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Herman000-47"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>47<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The practical constraints toward adoption have appeared less challenging where domain and scope is more limited than that of the general public and the World-Wide Web.<sup id="cite_ref-Herman000_47-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Herman000-47"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>47<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>Finally, Marshall and Shipman see pragmatic problems in the idea of (<a href="Knowledge_Navigator" title="Knowledge Navigator">Knowledge Navigator</a>-style) intelligent agents working in the largely manually curated Semantic Web:<sup id="cite_ref-which_46-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-which-46"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>46<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p>
<blockquote class="templatequote"><p>In situations in which user needs are known and distributed information resources are well described, this approach can be highly effective; in situations that are not foreseen and that bring together an unanticipated array of information resources, the Google approach is more robust. Furthermore, the Semantic Web relies on inference chains that are more brittle; a missing element of the chain results in a failure to perform the desired action, while the human can supply missing pieces in a more Google-like approach. [...] cost-benefit tradeoffs can work in favor of specially-created Semantic Web metadata directed at weaving together sensible well-structured domain-specific information resources; close attention to user/customer needs will drive these federations if they are to be successful.</p></blockquote>
<p><a href="Cory_Doctorow" title="Cory Doctorow">Cory Doctorow</a>'s critique ("<a href="Metacrap" class="mw-redirect" title="Metacrap">metacrap</a>")<sup id="cite_ref-48" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-48"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>48<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> is from the perspective of human behavior and personal preferences. For example, people may include spurious metadata into Web pages in an attempt to mislead Semantic Web engines that naively assume the metadata's veracity. This phenomenon was well known with metatags that fooled the <a href="Altavista" class="mw-redirect" title="Altavista">Altavista</a> ranking algorithm into elevating the ranking of certain Web pages: the Google indexing engine specifically looks for such attempts at manipulation. <a href="Peter_G%C3%A4rdenfors" title="Peter Gärdenfors">Peter Gärdenfors</a> and <a href="Timo_Honkela" title="Timo Honkela">Timo Honkela</a> point out that logic-based semantic web technologies cover only a fraction of the relevant phenomena related to semantics.<sup id="cite_ref-Gardenfors04_49-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Gardenfors04-49"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>49<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Honkela08_50-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Honkela08-50"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>50<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Censorship_and_privacy">Censorship and privacy</h3></div>
<p>Enthusiasm about the semantic web could be tempered by concerns regarding <a href="Internet_censorship" title="Internet censorship">censorship</a> and <a href="Privacy" title="Privacy">privacy</a>. For instance, <a href="Intelligent_text_analysis" class="mw-redirect" title="Intelligent text analysis">text-analyzing</a> techniques can now be easily bypassed by using other words, metaphors for instance, or by using images in place of words. An advanced implementation of the semantic web would make it much easier for governments to control the viewing and creation of online information, as this information would be much easier for an automated content-blocking machine to understand. In addition, the issue has also been raised that, with the use of <a href="FOAF_(software)" class="mw-redirect" title="FOAF (software)">FOAF</a> files and geolocation <a href="Meta-data" class="mw-redirect" title="Meta-data">meta-data</a>, there would be very little anonymity associated with the authorship of articles on things such as a personal blog. Some of these concerns were addressed in the "Policy Aware Web" project<sup id="cite_ref-51" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-51"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>51<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and is an active research and development topic.
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Doubling_output_formats">Doubling output formats</h3></div>
<p>Another criticism of the semantic web is that it would be much more time-consuming to create and publish content because there would need to be two formats for one piece of data: one for human viewing and one for machines. However, many web applications in development are addressing this issue by creating a machine-readable format upon the publishing of data or the request of a machine for such data. The development of microformats has been one reaction to this kind of criticism. Another argument in defense of the feasibility of semantic web is the likely falling price of human intelligence tasks in digital labor markets, such as <a href="Amazon.com" class="mw-redirect" title="Amazon.com">Amazon</a>'s <a href="Amazon_Mechanical_Turk" title="Amazon Mechanical Turk">Mechanical Turk</a>.
</p><p>Specifications such as eRDF and RDFa allow arbitrary RDF data to be embedded in HTML pages. The <a href="GRDDL" title="GRDDL">GRDDL</a> (Gleaning Resource Descriptions from Dialects of Language) mechanism allows existing material (including microformats) to be automatically interpreted as RDF, so publishers only need to use a single format, such as HTML.
