"Applied Semantics is a proven innovator in semantic text processing and online advertising," said Sergey Brin, Google's co-founder and president of Technology. "This acquisition will enable Google to create new technologies that make online advertising more useful to users, publishers, and advertisers alike." Semantic
search uses the science of meaning in language—instead of just searching keywords, it checks the context of the words to return more relevant results. (Web 3.0)
LSI tries to associate certain terms with concepts when indexing web pages
in a more intelligent and human required way. For example : Ford and Motors
are associated with a the Ford automobile instead of a a river ford or the
motor of another type, Bill and Gates are associated with 'Bill Gates' and
not accounting bills or farm gates.
Semantics is more about understanding what words in
web pages mean to humans (not computers). There for this method may
involve some level of Artificial Intelligence
If like me you have heard the term Web 3.0 and the semantic web, but aren’t really sure what it means then watch the video I have embedded below. It is around 15 minutes, but is well worth the time
investment. If you can’t spare the time I have attempted a summary below it.
As I note below, the impact and potential of the semantic web is difficult for even the experts in the field to get their head
around, so this post is a fairly large act of hubris by me, but hopefully it is a conversation starter. I would love to hear your
thoughts as well, even if they are to tell me I don’t have a clue.

Semantic Web provides a common framework that allows data
to be shared and reused across application, enterprise, and community boundaries. It is a collaborative effort led by W3C with participation from a
large number of researchers and industrial partners. It is based on the Resource Description Framework (RDF). See also the
separate FAQ for further information.
The Fate of the Semantic Web Technology experts and stakeholders who participated in
a recent survey believe online information will continue to be organized and made accessible in smarter and more useful ways in coming years, but there
is stark dispute about whether the improvements will match the visionary ideals of those who are working to build the semantic web.
Read more... The semantic web will bring structure to the
meaningful content of Web pages, creating an environment where software agents roaming from page to page can readily carry out sophisticated tasks
for users… The semantic web is not a separate Web but an extension of the current one, in which information is given well-defined meaning, better
enabling computers and people to work in cooperation… To date, the Web has developed most rapidly as a medium of documents for people rather than for
data and information that can be processed automatically. The semantic web aims to make up for this… The real power of the semantic web will be
realized when people create many programs that collect Web content from diverse sources, process the information and exchange the results with other
programs.
The effect of latent semantic indexing (LSI) on your web site rankings Latent semantic indexing (LSI) is a technique that is used by all major
search engines nowadays. Does your web site take this into account? How does it influence the position of your web pages in Google's search results?
10 Things that Make Search a Semantic Search With the recent article on ReadWriteWeb, it seems like the old debate is
back. Are Google’s squared results coming from a real semantic backbone, or is it a good old entity extraction trick anyone, who is capable of copying and pasting lists, could do? Illustrates 10 points that define semantic search using our online demo where we compared hakia’s
enterprise search system with Pubmed’s search engine, side by side, QDEXing 20 million documents on Pubmed. The Ten points

Many people have wondered where Wolfram Alpha fits in regards to the
other search engines. As Berkowitz explains, people look at search
engines to find information on the Web. He says Wolfram Alpha creates
facts.
The engine is already embracing social media with location and
customization aspects. Over time, Berkowitz says the engine will include
more social features that are relevant to user needs. Porter also points
out that the engine wants users to be able to easily share Wolfram Alpha
information with their friends.
Wolfram Alpha has partnered with
Bing
and Berkowitz indicates that the engine would like to be integrated
everywhere people go for information. He also believes that the factual
information Wolfram Alpha provides is the next level of search.
There's a lot of factors that relate to how well web sites
generate visitors. Not just LSI.
Advice: I provide some hopefully helpful links above that should explain all. Semantics Search could have an important impact on the future of the Internet and therefore your business.
LSI has are people who suggest it is helpful and useful in helping promote web sites and it has users who doubt the effectiveness of LSI.
LSI may use the closeness of Keywords and other related words in an attempt to increase
Visits.
Do not make any change that would effect the readability of any web page, if a human cannot understand the text then they will be unlikely to
make any purchases from that web site and it could also increase mistrust in that web site. See Credibility
