‘The Semantic Web is the extension of the World Wide Web that enables people to share content beyond the boundaries of applications and websites. It has been described in rather different ways: as a utopic vision, as a web of data, or merely as a natural paradigm shift in our daily use of the Web’.
(http://semanticweb.org/wiki/Main_Page)
So when we think of semantics, we think the study of the meaning of communication, and in this case the web.
But in general, the introduction to this semantic web is to make the web a lot smarter with machines being able to read computers, which then takes the human operator out of the equation, so that they can perform more of the tedious work involved in finding, sharing, and combining information on the web.
