'''[[Semantic Technology]]''' is an encoding process whereby meaning is stored separately from data and content; this separation provides fluidity to searches and systems operations missing from standard IT. Semantic technology defines and links data on the [[W3C|web]], an interconnected system of public webpages accessible through the [[Internet]] (the Web is one of many applications built on top of the Internet). Semantic technology develops languages to express rich, self-describing interrelations of data that are machine-readable. Machines can process long strings of characters and index, store, manage, and retrieve information based on meaning and logical relationships. Semantics can add a layer to the Web and show more than matching words. | '''[[Semantic Technology]]''' is an encoding process whereby meaning is stored separately from data and content; this separation provides fluidity to searches and systems operations missing from standard IT.
