Web Science[1]

The Semantic Web[edit]

The Semantic Web is an extension of the Web through standards by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). The standards promote common data formats and exchange protocols on the Web, most fundamentally the Resource Description Framework (RDF).

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". The term was coined by Tim Berners-Lee for a web of data that can be processed by machines. While its critics have questioned its feasibility, proponents argue that applications in industry, biology and human sciences research have already proven the validity of the original concept.[2]


Do you understand this?[edit]

Can you find an example of what semantic markup looks like?

Standards[edit]

These standards are used from the IB Computer Science Subject Guide[3]

  • Describe how the web is constantly evolving.
