The future is Semantics
Guess what technology is present in the top 10 disruptive technologies for 2008 to 2012? You have it right: Semantics.
Still very vague of a word that covers many many areas. Please let me know what you understand by “Semantics” in comments.
What is “Semantics”?
Well, that is a quite good question…
First idea that comes to mind here could be that it’s a kind of science that studies how language and words are used in communication.
Well… ok…
But what does it mean concretely?
And how does it work?
I don’t know if I am correct with my above definition, but “Semantics” seems to be a concept that anyone knows (or thinks he knows) and is able to “feel”.
As we use it every day, I am sure that we all have the “feeling” of it, but giving a precise definition is a much more difficult question.
For sure, it is a wide and captivating subject… but not so easy to catch! :)
