Motivation for semantic web
¡ “The primary goal is to make the web more like a library and less like a heap of messy books on the floor.”
¡                                     -Tim Bray, Textwise consultant                   
¡
¡The Web can reach its full potential only if it becomes a place where data can be shared and processed by
¡ automated tools as well as by people.
