The Semantic Web is an emerging technology that seeks to make web content more structured and easier for machines to understand. It does this by adding additional markup to web content, allowing computers to better parse relationships between entities and facts. For example, a sentence such as "Geoffrey Challen started working at UB in 2011" can be more clearly structured using Semantic Web technologies. This technology was discussed by Geoffrey Challen, Assistant Professor of Computer Science and Engineering at the University at Buffalo, as part of the Internet-Class.org online internet course. The course was produced by Greg Bunyea, an undergraduate in Computer Science and Engineering at the University at Buffalo, and was a production of the Blue Systems Research Group.
