Does Google use the semantic network in any of its technologies or products?

Question

The semantic network is the prominent and future of the current network, as TimBL said. So, is there any google product that uses semantic web technology?

Answer 1

Well, the Semantic Web is a fuzzy concept, and it is not always clear whether a particular technology should be considered as part of a semantic network or not. Google uses many technologies that can be seen as semantic web technologies in their products, for example:

• Google Knowledge Graph
• Google rich snippets
• Freebase (acquired by Google a few years ago)
• schema.org (developed by Google, Yahoo and Microsoft)

Google tends to somewhat avoid the Semantic Web standards originally developed by TimBL W3C, and instead develop its own simpler versions of these standards.
