Yahoo and Dapper Begin To 'Semantify' the Web

By Trent Batson
04/02/08

Yahoo is beginning the process of indexing semantic elements on the Web, and Dapper announced the release of Semantify, a semantic mark-up tool for your own Web page. You "show" Semantify your page, point and click parts of your page you want to mark up, name them by using a naming protocol available to you at the site, get a chunk of PHP code that you paste into the header of your Web page, and voila! You've been Semantified. [For an interesting discussion of how to Semantify your Web pages quickly, see Marshall Kirkpatrick's ReadWriteWeb article, "Semantify -- Automate Your Semantic Web SEO in Five Minutes."]
