What is this Social Semantic Web?

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. — Tim Berners-Lee (2001)

Accessing this page on Medium or the data on this page are the things that will be useful for defining The Social Semantic Web.

The Social Semantic Web (S2W) can be considered as a collective network of information systems that can provide useful information based on human contributions and become better with the participation of more people.

S2W is used to refer to a semantically global data field and generated data by the user. Images, documents, activities, tweets, hashtags, geo-markers and much more are the source of data. Data can be obtained from the different social platforms. Every person leaves behind huge amount of data and virtual footprints through their phones and computers.

S2W, which is also known as Web 2.0, combines technologies, strategies, methodologies and applies them in an effort to improve. SW2 allows individuals and groups define sharable ontologies which are collections of classes, properties and objects. These ontologies improve collaboration and service-oriented architectures by allowing computer programs to read, publish, and exchange information.

Web 2.0 is much more about a change in people and society than technology.
