语义WEB的定义

- The Semantic Web provides a common framework that allows data to be shared and reused across application, enterprise, and community boundaries. It is a collaborative effort led by W3C with participation from a large number of researchers and industrial partners. It is based on the Resource Description Framework (RDF), which integrates a variety of applications using XML for syntax and URIs for naming.

- "The Semantic Web is an extension of the current web in which information is given well-defined meaning, better enabling computers and people to work in cooperation." -- Tim Berners-Lee, James Hendler, Ora Lassila, The Semantic Web, Scientific American, May 2001

- 语义Web(语义网)提供了一个通用的框架，允许跨越不同应用程序、企业和团体的边界共享和重用数据。语义Web是W3C领导下的协作项目，有大量研究人员和业界伙伴参与。语义Web以资源描述框架（RDF）为基础。RDF以XML作为语法、URI作为命名机制，将各种不同的应用集成在一起。

- "语义Web(语义网)是现有Web的扩展，信息被赋予定义良好的含义，更便于计算机和人的协同。" -- Tim Berners-Lee, James Hendler, Ora Lassila, The Semantic Web, Scientific American, 2001年5月。
