Yahoo Embraces The Semantic Web

Submitted by Jeroen Fransen on Thu, 13/03/2008 - 18:29

Yahoo will be able to use these tags to understand the structure of the web site and will be able to present it in a way that makes more sense to us humans than the gobbledygook we sometimes are confronted with by search engines.
