The Semantic Web: Ontology and Knowledge Graphs

The Semantic Web is an extension of the internet that allows data to be shared and reused across applications, systems, and communities. It uses "ontologies," which are structured frameworks that define the relationships between concepts—like a detailed map of knowledge. Knowledge graphs are visual representations of these concepts and their connections, helping computers understand and process information more intelligently. Together, they enable more effective search engines, smarter AI, and enhanced data integration, making it easier for people and machines to find and comprehend information in a meaningful way.
