The Semantic Web is a distributed information system where interlinked data is published as RDF triples over HTTP. RDF triples consist of subject, predicate and object but can have other things attached to them such as datatypes and annotations about the natural language of objects. On the Semantic Web, URIs are used both as identifiers and as addresses of network resources.
It’s different from the Web, because the Web is a distributed information system of documents and application interfaces.
