A Look at Semantic Web Technology and the Potential Semantic …
61
The Semantic Web is the employment concept of web data defined and linked.
So, it can be used by machines not just for display purposes, but for automation, integration, and reuse between different applications. What reflects a current Web extension, where digital information is given well-defined meaning, allowing computers
(machines) and people (users) to work better together. However, the characteristic
of the Semantic Web that best defines it is that it is machine-readable content [18].
Therefore, this chapter aims to provide an overview of the semantic web and
semantic web search Engines, showing and approaching its success relation, with
a concise bibliographic background, categorizing and synthesizing the potential of
both technologies.
For this purpose, this study was based on the research of 58 scientific papers and
books that address the theme of the present research. Exploring mainly a historical
review and applicability of techniques related to Semantic Web Technology. These
papers were analyzed based on the publication date of fewer than 5 years, with
emphasis on publications with dates greater than 2014 as well as publications and
indexing in renowned databases, such as IEEE, SCOPUS, and Scholar Google
2 Semantic Web
The semantic web is capable of interconnecting word meanings, and it is an extension
of the current world web (according to Fig. 1), which allows computers (machines)
and humans (users) to work in cooperation. This process is able to give meaning,
