A Glimpse of Sematic Web 3.0

13 May, 2008 Posted by SolSie As News, WebApp

While the definition of Web 2.0 is still blurry to most of us. Web 3.0 starts making its debut with the buzz word ‘Sematic’ Web. The easiest way to explain Sematic is what the new Web start-up Powerset has offered with its ’semantic’ approach.

Powerset differs from  keyword based services used by Google, Yahoo and Microsoft by attempting to understand the actual meaning of a query. You can basically ask in a natural language fashion and the search engine will try to understand the meaning of the sentence instead of just matching the keywords.

“Unlike other search engines that index keywords, Powerset does a deep linguistic analysis on every sentence it reads,” said the company in a statement.

“We extract and index facts about each sentence in each page, making our index the first truly robust semantic index of the web.”

For now, Powerset only looks information from Wikipedia, but the company will extent its search base to the entire Web in a near future.
