The document discusses the need for the Semantic Web to add explicit meaning and well-organized metadata to the existing web. It notes that the current web lacks authority, explicit meaning, and well-organized metadata. The Semantic Web aims to inject standards, explicit meaning, and well-organized metadata to address these issues by establishing a set of rules to distinguish different meanings of terms and better organize information through technologies like schema.org, microformats, and the Open Graph Protocol.

do well

We all know there is no quicker way to empty a joke
of its peculiar magic faster than to try to explain it.

8. —David Foster Wallace
“Point out, for example, that Lou Costello is
mistaking the proper name "Who" for the
interrogative pronoun "who," etc.”

9. Semantic Web
A set of rules that allows us to declare when Who is a
proper name and when it is an interrogative pronoun.
