Semantic from the Greek "sema" which translates as "sign" or 
"coded message".

The definite article "semantic web" does not exist; it never 
will.

There is only the WWW which is forever becoming
a more semantic web, i.e. the web with more signposts.

Q: How semantic is semantic web?
A: More than yesterday, less than tomorrow.
