From the pervious discussion, it seems to me that Semantic Web's goal is to find out some ways that increase the performance of information collection and processing from the WWW.

Does it a subset of Text Mining of WWW, or it is totally a different story?

Thanks

Text mining is not "officially" part of the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) Semantic Web activity, and the W3C is not developing any standards in this area, AFAIK. But it is widely recognized that a lot of useful data and meta data is embedded in web sites and that text mining will probably be an important way to get at it.

Jon Udel, in his columns on InfoWorld, is actively exploring ways to get at some of the data and meta data that is implicitly in web pages. They are worth looking at.

Yes. Here is the home page of Udell's columns (I see I have been mispelling his name with only one "l") -

http://weblog.infoworld.com/udell

Between this page, and also with the help of Google, you should be able to track down a lot of interesting articles that relate to this subject. You can also get the RSS feed for his stories, so you can keep current with his column using an RSS reader.

does that mean Semantic web is similar to 'Content management' where philisophy is mining your content.
