Semantic Web
Computers can present you with information but can’t understand what the information is well enough to display the data that is most relevant in a given circumstance. In the World Wide Web, we use computers to search for documents but they still have to be read and interpreted by humans before any useful information can be extrapolated. The Semantic Web, on the other hand, is about having data as well as documents on the Web so that machines can process, transform, assemble, and even act on the data in useful ways.
