Semantic Searching
The semantic web is inspiring interest by Fujitsu Ireland and local scientists who are forming a research alliance. Since the semantic web is a collaborative movement led by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), the inclusion of semantic content in web pages seems a natural fit. Computer World UK brought this information to our attention in their article, “Ireland and Fujitsu aim to cash in on semantic web.”
