An example RDF statement is (\texttt{lanl:marko}, \texttt{foaf:knows}, \texttt{ucla:apepe}). This statement makes a claim about the world: namely that ``Marko knows Alberto". The \ttt{foaf:knows} predicate defines the meaning of the link that connects the subject \ttt{lanl:marko} to the object \ttt{ucla:apepe}. On the World Wide Web, the only way that such semantics could be derived in a computationally efficient manner would be to note that in Marko's webpage there exists an \ttt{href} link to Alberto's webpage. While this web link does not necessarily mean that ``Marko knows Alberto'', it is the simplest means, without text analysis techniques, to recognize that there exists a relationship between Marko and Alberto. Thus, for machines, the World Wide Web is a homogenous world of generic relationships. On the Semantic Web, the world is a rich, complicated network of meaningful relationships.
