Fewer Results - More Meaning
Sometimes called "Web 3.0," the goal of the Semantic Web is to identify Web-based data so that searches can be more effective. As information on the Web grows, search engines routinely return thousands of results when, very often, only a handful truly qualify as meaningful for the query presented. Wading through countless results has turned people into research analysts whether they were ready for the task or not. For more information, visit www.w3.org/2001/sw.
