The Semantic Web is a project that aims to make the structure and meaning of data on the World Wide Web more accessible and understandable to computers. The Semantic Web is a collaborative effort led by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) to extend the capabilities of the Web so that computers can better understand the meaning of the data on the web. The Semantic Web project was launched in 2001 by Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the World Wide Web.
Some of the emerging trends in Semantic Web include the use of linked data, the use of ontologies, and the use of semantic search.
