Semantic Markup Report

This report has been prepared by Vestlandsforsking as a part of NCE Tourism Fjord Norway
initiatives towards the use of semantic annotations in FjordNett web pages. The report addresses semantic markup technologies that have emerged over the last few years to bridge the vast, existing ‘‘clickable’’ Web and the Semantic Web. These markup allow authors to embed extra information within (X)HTML to mark up the structure, not just the visual presentation, of the information they publish. In this report, major approaches are explained, exploring their strengths and weaknesses, providing examples, and touching on future considerations for FjordNett.
