Introduction to Semantic Web

Hitchhiker’s guide to the Semantic Web

What? There is more to the web than what we know? But why? What is semantic web? Why do we need it? How does it look like? How do we use it? Where is this applicable? What does linked data got to do with it? Is this the future of web?

I was invited in March 2015 at the Women Techmakers Istanbul event where I got to hold an introduction about Semantic Web.


“The Semantic Web is an extension of the current web in which information is given well-defined meaning, better enabling computers and people to work in cooperation.”  Tim Berners-Lee [1]
