The Semantic Web is an extension of the World Wide Web through standards set by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).^[1] The goal of the Semantic Web is to make Internet data machine-readable. To enable the encoding of semantics with the data, technologies such as Resource Description Framework (RDF)^[2] and Web Ontology Language (OWL)^[3] are used. These technologies are used to formally represent metadata. For example, ontology can describe concepts, relationships between entities, and categories of things. These embedded semantics offer significant advantages such as reasoning over data and operating with heterogeneous data sources.^[4]
