Semantic Web
W3C's Semantic Web logo The Semantic Web is a collaborative movement led by the international standards body, the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). [ 1 ] The standard promotes common data formats on the World Wide Web . By encouraging the inclusion of semantic content in web pages, the Semantic Web aims at converting the current web dominated by unstructured and semi-structured documents into a "web of data". The Semantic Web stack builds on the W3C's Resource Description Framework (RDF). [ 2 ] According to the W3C, "The Semantic Web provides a common framework that allows data to be shared and reused across application, enterprise, and community boundaries." [ 2 ] The term was coined by Tim Berners-Lee , [ 3 ] the inventor of the World Wide Web and director of the World Wide Web Consortium (" W3C "), which oversees the development of proposed Semantic Web standards.
10 Semantic Apps to Watch
One of the highlights of October's Web 2.0 Summit in San Francisco was the emergence of 'Semantic Apps' as a force. Note that we're not necessarily talking about the Semantic Web, which is the Tim Berners-Lee W3C led initiative that touts technologies like RDF, OWL and other standards for metadata. Semantic Apps may use those technologies, but not necessarily. This was a point made by the founder of one of the Semantic Apps listed below, Danny Hillis of Freebase (who is as much a tech legend as Berners-Lee).

Dévoilé au récent Sommet du Web 2 , Twine est un site web où les gens pourront déposer l’information qui leur est importante, des mails, aux vidéos (voir la traduction du communiqué de presse réalisée par Jean-Marie Le Ray ). Twine peut collecter toutes les pages que vous visitez ou les mails que vous envoyez et recevez, explique Kate Greene pour la Technology Review .
Twine : le web sémantique va-t-il devenir grand public ? | Inter
The Semantic Web has been in the making for some time and people think it is nearing maturity . We have written about this trend extensively, with our two most notable posts being an analysis of the challenges of the classic bottom-up approach and the promise of the new top-down one. Regardless of how the Semantic Web will come about, for it to flourish it needs to hit the mainstream. There is no way that consumers will appreciate the elegance and mathematical soundness of RDF and OWL. People don't care about math, they care about utility and even more, about fun. What the Semantic Web needs, then, is a killer app.

Web sémantique : y aura-t-il une application qui tue ? | Interne
Par Hubert Guillaud le 21/01/08 | 2 commentaires | 14,560 lectures | Impression Quelle sera l’application phare du web sémantique ? C’est la question que se pose Alex Iskold dans Read/Write Web , alors que le web sémantique, dit-il, “approche de la maturité” . Une maturité qui se jauge d’ailleurs à l’aune des premières applications publiques. Comme ces 10 applications sémantiques à surveiller qu’évoquaient le Read/Write web quelques semaines plus tôt. Un panel assez intéressant d’applications sémantiques en bêta ou déjà disponibles comme :
