Google unveils 'smarter search' - BBC News

This is an interesting article about Google's plans, and explains that they are keen to develop search tools that make use of the Semantic Web. So I refernce and link to this article below

By Maggie Shiels Technology Reporter, BBC News, Silicon Valley

"Web giant Google has unveiled new products that it says will push search in a new direction.

Google is using so-called semantic web technology to leverage the underlying data on websites to enhance results."

This article is also relevant to smarter search -

Wolfram 'search engine' goes live

"A web tool hailed as a significant rival to search giant Google has gone live to the public.

Wolfram Alpha is called a computation knowledge engine rather than a search engine and wants to change the way people use online data.

It aims to give people direct answers to queries rather than send them to other sites where they may find what they are seeking.

The system is the brainchild of British-born physicist Stephen Wolfram."
