Semantic Web is a movement led by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
Semantic Web provides a common framework that allows data to be shared and reused across application, enterprise, and community boundaries.
Semantic = relating to the meanings of words and phrases.

7. Web 3.0 and the Semantic Web
Web 3.0 is yet to be fully realized because of several problems:
Compatibility. HTML files and current web browser could not support Web 3.0.
Security. The user’s security is also in question since the machine is saving his or her preferences.
Vastness. The WWW already contains billions of web pages.
Vastness = great in size

8. Web 3.0 and the Semantic Web
Web 3.0 is yet to be fully realized because of several problems:
Vagueness. Certain words are imprecise.
Logic. There are certain limitations for a computer to be able to predict what the user is referring to at a given time.
Vagueness = not clear in meaning
