Web Semantics

In the last weeks I've been involved in discussions about semantics quite a lot. We have debated on product semantics at work, I've been reading books on semantics, and just plain thinking about it. (To get geared take a second and read the Wikipedia entry for Semantics.) Semantics as a topic is an intriguing brain exercise at least to me, and it can open doors to other valuable "aha" experiences.

Everyone has sometime ran into the discussion of what web 2.0 actually means, and what is the definition of Semantic Web. I am not going to start defining them myself, but I encourage you to read O'Reilly's recent post on confusion around semantic web. Valuable food for thought.
