What is Semantic Web?

The semantic web is a long-awaited version of the World Wide Web that expands on the parameters set by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). The semantic web is designed to allow internet data to become machine-readable, leading to a much richer experience for transacting, data usage, and the sharing of information. For decades, many believed this vision would never be realized. However, the semantic web appears to be gradually emerging — powered by an array of ever-expanding developments in artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), the Internet of Things (IoT), blockchain, and other related technologies.
