The semantic Web is taken as an approach to reduce the burden for the user and to automate the processing of Web content, making it machine-understandable rather than just machine-presentable. It is distinguished from natural language processing semantics insofar as it addresses a far broader range of multimedia resources than text, and is based on content description rather than (purely) linguistic/grammatical analysis. 2, record 1, English, - semantic%20Web
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
semantic Web: The Translation Bureau recommends in its revised 2013 Linguistic Recommendation that "Web" be capitalized when it stands alone as a noun meaning the "World Wide Web." 4, record 1, English, - semantic%20Web
