Question

What is the semantic web? What logical functions does it perform? What is schema.org and what role does it serve?

Answer 1

The semantic web is an extension of the world wide web through the standards that were given by the worl wide web consoritum (W3C).

The semantic web provides a common framework that allowws the data to be shared and reused across different applications and enterprises.

Therefore it is regardes as an integrator between different information applications.

The components used in the semantic web are:

1) XML schema is used to store data and give authorization to the user to use the structure and content of pagw being in use.

2)RDF (Resource Description Framework) , a general method for describing information.

3) RDF schemas

4) SPARQL is a query language to search through semantic web resources.

5)NTriples, A format for storing and transmitting data.

6)Web Ontology Language (WOL), A family of knowledge representation languages.

Logical functions of Semantic web:

1) It removes the ambiguity from the form of data being represented on the world wide web.

2) it allows the inclusion of semantic content that describes the format in the web pages using (RDF)

3)It converts the unstructured data on the web and make it more stucture using (XML)

4) It consists of wjole lot of web on data and build it using (RDF).

5) it makes the queries easy to understand by the machine using (WOL).

Schema.org:

SChema.org is a collaborative community activity to creare, promote and maintain scemas for structured data on the internet and web pages.

It improves the web by crating a structured data markup schema supported by major search engines,

On page mark up helps search engines understand the information on web pages and give better results.

Schema also makes easy for webmasters to decide on a markup schema and get the maximum benefit from the users.
