Latent Semantics and How to Check it in the SERPs - Search Engine Watch (SEW)
Many people have heard of the term "latent semantics" and know Google uses it in their rankings. But few really understand it. Latent semantics isn't the sexiest topic. Usually, the reaction is a nod and then the eyes glaze over.In May last year we wrote about the state of Linked Data , an official W3C project that aims to connect separate data sets on the Web. Linked Data is a subset of the wider Semantic Web movement, in which data on the Web is encoded with meaning using technologies such as RDF and OWL. The ultimate vision is that the Web will become much more structured, which opens up many possibilities for "smarter" Web applications. At this stage last year, we noted that Linked Data was ramping up fast - evidenced by the increasing number of data sets on the Web as at March 2009. Fast forward a year and the Linked Data "cloud" has continued to expand.
