If you ever wanted a 15 min intro into what direction the web is going then here it is… The semantic web will change the way we search, organise and publish on the web. Experts in this emerging market are already cropping up and as search engines start to further develop their semantic’s in search there is a real opportunuty for businesses to leap frog their competition.
It make sense to have a 2nd layer of information that more accurately informs us what we’re linking to and why, I’d be interested to know impact this has on publishing, I imagine it wont be as simple as the more traditional < html > even the least technical of us have become vaguely familiar with.
