What you need to know about W3C Semantic Web
First what is a Semantic Web; this is a web that connects data. For example if you have photos stored on you computer, a list of contacts, and also keep a calendar. If a semantic web was at work you could look at a calendar view and see the pictures taken on a particular day, then look at you contact list and see photos related to each of your contacts. It establishes connections between vast stores of data so things would never need to be entered twice, or stored in multiple ways or places
Semantic Web is a good way to overlap information without having to do so manually. But, as Monika stated what about losing the original piece of data and not being able to retrieve it? That does pose an issue although as all things through time I'm sure a user friendly system will be created to prevent this from happening. Through time we progress and so does technology.
