The Semantic Web is the extension of the World Wide Web that enables people to share content beyond the boundaries of applications and websites. It has been described in rather different ways: as a utopic vision, as a web of data, or merely as a natural paradigm shift in our daily use of the Web. Most of all, the Semantic Web has inspired and engaged many people to create innovative semantic technologies and applications. semanticweb.org is the common platform for this community.
The main idea is that all data on the world wide web will be read by machines, in their own language, they then will process this data all around the world, creating a global database. This then will make data more accessible to machines, which will make the web easier for humans to use and view.
