The Semantic Web is the extension of the World Wide Web that enables people to share content beyond the boundaries of applications and websites. It has been described in rather different ways: as a utopic vision, as a web of data, or merely as a natural paradigm shift in our daily use of the Web. Most of all, the Semantic Web has inspired and engaged many people to create innovative technologies and applications of semantic technologies. semanticweb.org is the common platform for this community.

You can extend semanticweb.org. Make sure that your favourite semantic tool, event, or web application is here!
