The Top 4 Myths About Semantic Web

The Internet is often prone to confusion. All this immediacy and constant status updatingcan leave people lost when it comes to deciphering the true game changers, like SemanticWeb. Will this new, smarter technology affect the way you work online? Yes. Is it all aboutmetadata? Not exactly. Here are the top four widespread myths about Semantic Web (andwhy you should care):

1. It’s artificial intelligence.The machines themselves aren’t the ones getting smarter. Instead, we’re making thecontent easier for the machines to interpret.

2. It’s just research. Nothing concrete has been made with semantic web yet.Quite the contrary. Many different companies, like Huffington Post and Google, havealready jumped on the semantic web wagon and are seeing a lot of success.

3. Semantic Web’s only purpose is to tag websites.Tagging content is one part of the wide scope of what semantic web can do. Jeff Pollack ofSemantic Universe says, “Imagine all the different website tags in the world linked upautomatically to all the best online reference databases in the world…connected to the dataon your hard drive and your business’ enterprise software systems like for businessintelligence.”

4. Semantic Web will put Google out of business.

Google search will still be a pertinent necessity of online life and won’t be going awayanytime soon, even with Semantic Web. This myth likely sprung from a recent SundayTimes piece attributing the belief of search’s impending death to Tim Berners-Lee, theinventor of the World Wide Web. He later took to his blog to counter the claim, calling it a“misunderstanding” in an “otherwise useful discussion.”

Register for Semantic Web Summit on November 16-17 in Boston to learn from innovatorsacross industries and to see how Semantic Web can transform your business.
