The Semantic Web

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Social Semantics

Part of the book series: Semantic Web and Beyond ((ADSW,volume 13))

Abstract

In this chapter we review the Semantic Web, a project to extend the use of URIs on the Web to identify non-Web accessible things like real-world objects and imaginary concepts. We trace the history of the Semantic Web via the trajectory of classical artificial intelligence. Features of the Semantic Web’s most basic language, RDF, are explained as extensions of the principles of Web architecture. Finally, Web architecture is itself formalized as a Semantic Web ontology. Lastly, a comparison between artificial intelligence and the Semantic Web shows that it is the ‘Web’ in the Semantic Web, primarily the use of URIs, that is the main difference between the two projects.
