Abstract

On the current World Wide Web, most of the information is stored syntactically, i.e., only as data. The information that lies within the data can only be understood by humans and not automatically by computer programs. In order to overcome this issue, the idea of encoding the information not just syntactically but also with semantics has created a new notion of the Web called Semantic Web. This notion emerged together with developments of semi-structured languages like SGML and XML.
