Interesting video on the Semantic Web

Just watched this video about something called the Semantic Web (see Wikipedia page).

Basically it is about a better web than we have now (the WWW) because it carries meaning with the data (this object is linked to this object or Marcel “works with” ING). As explained in the video by Nova Spivack it will vastly improve the current keyword search we get through Google, which actually is not keeping up with all the growth of content on the web and can not keep up in terms of search result quality.

Want to know more: a good report on the presentation
