Abstract

The WWW is the largest single information resource humanity. Unfortunately, despite its dependence on computers to operate at all, most of the information is only understandable by humans and not by computers. While computers can use the syntax of HTML documents to display in a web browser, Web computers can’t understand the content the semantics. Human beings are capable of using the Web to carry out tasks such as finding the information. However, a computer cannot accomplish the same tasks without human direction because web pages are designed to be read by public, not machines. The semantic web is a vision of information that is understandable by computers, so that public can perform more of the tedious work involved in finding, sharing and combining information on the web. The paper emphasizes the semantic tools available.
