Semantic web - Web 3.0

The semantic web is a vision of information that is understood by computers(machine), so that they can perform more of the tedious work involved in finding, combining, and acting upon information on the web.

At present, only humans are capable of using the Web to carry out tedious tasks. However, a computer cannot accomplish the same tasks without human direction because web pages are designed to be read by human, not machines.

Tim Burner Lee consider the semantic web as the next web 3.0.

W3C and many others are rushing to come out with design principals and standards.

Some of these include Resource Description Framework (RDF), a variety of data interchange formats (e.g. RDF/XML, N3, Turtle, N-Triples), and notations such as RDF Schema (RDFS) and the Web Ontology Language (OWL), all of which are intended to provide a formal description of concepts, terms, and relationships within a given knowledge domain.
