What is the 'semantic web'?

The semantic web is an extension of the world wide web. Semantics of information make it possible to understand the request that the user has asked when trying to view web content instead of understanding just a few key words in a sentence the semantic web understands the whole sentence and will fit your needs.
The concept and idea was originaly composed by Tim Berners-Lee and is seen to be one of the vital components of web 3.0. By using tools such as OWLs and XML that are organised into stacks this helps to breakdown the sentence or phrase typed in by the human and finds out what it means.
