'''[[Public Interest Commitments]]''' (PICs) are a way for [[New gTLD Program|nTLD applicant]]s to add provisions to the Registry Agreement, as a way of demonstrating commitment to specific policies, philosophical standpoints, or other commitments to the public interest. It was originally proposed by ICANN on February 5, 2013, in the draft revised new registry agreement. PICs are voluntary amendments that applicants can add to hold their registry operations to certain standards. They can help applicants appease [[GAC]] members' concerns about how their application stands as is, or how ICANN will ensure that a potential registry remains [[Contractual Compliance|compliant]] with its aspirations and mandate as it defined in its summary of its proposed operations in the TLD application. Prior to PICs, there was no clear way to define operating procedures when moving from the long-form essays in the TLD application to the Registry Agreement.
'''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. Semantic technology defines and links data on the 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.
