What is the semantic web? From what I understand from what I've read, the semantic web is an extension of the world wide web. It was thought up by Tim Berners-Lee in 2001. It can be described as a big web of data which makes it easier for computers to get hold of, and understand the information that it is being given. For example, when we're searching for something specific, because of semantic web, it means that the computer can understand this and can narrow down our search a little so that we aren't searching through pages and pages for hours and hours.
I found a link which will help explain it more because I think that it is a quite complex thing to try and explain:
