Abstract

The original exchange of information that was enabled by the development of the World Wide Web has been greatly enriched as the web systems have developed. The Semantic Web enhances the reliability and efficiency of automated information re-use. The central tenant of this paper is that the semantics that imbue the “Semantic Web” are not sufficient to ensure that users understand the information presented on the World Wide Web but that a wider understanding of the importance of the user’s context will prompt the development of the Semiotic Web and in this way human beings will regain first class status/membership of/on the World Wide Web.
