Our latest FUMSI manage article is by Silver Oliver and about the Semantic Web, which he introduces as follows:
“The goal of the Semantic Web is to enable people to share structured data on the Web as easily as they can share documents today.
‘The current Web is a Web of documents where documents (Web pages) are connected by embedded Hyperlinks (links). Thus when you click on one document, the result is a single step Web transversal to another document. This widely understood, and accepted, Web interaction pattern is facilitated by a resource locater called a Uniform Resource Locater (URL) and a messaging protocol known as Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP).’
