The Semantic Web is an international effort to represent data (including World Wide Web data currently designed for human users) in formats amenable to automated processing, integration, and reasoning. Data is king, and it provides even greater value when it's connected with other data sources to create a linked data web. Current applications include data integration from mash-ups to the enterprise, improved search, service composition, intelligent agents, desktop and mobile applications, and collaboration.

Catalyzed by U.S. and EU research programs, the growing community includes the W3C Semantic Web Activity, a host of large and small vendors, several Semantic Web and Semantic Technology conference series, and a large number of open-source developers and projects.
