simonmartAccess to online health information is something most individuals take for granted these days. Whether sifting through a million Google hits or a laborious visit to WebMD, most people with access to a computer have utilized the current online health tools. Just ten years ago, few would give credence to reputable health information posted on the Web. Even fewer of us would rely on it as a primary or secondary source of medical information. Yet, recent Pew research suggests that 8 in 10 Internet users go online for health information totaling eight million health searches on a typical day. While the depth of information on the Web has increased dramatically, the ability to access the right information has floundered in comparison. Contextual data retrieval is particularly critical with health information and by most accounts the Internet is a mess in this regard. The ground breaking idea of a new search paradigm known as Semantic Web may hold the promise of a cure.

The Semantic Web concept was envisioned by World Wide Web pioneer Tim Berners-Lee as a system for connecting Web information based on the meaning and context of information. To summarize the difference between this idea and the current model, think of your current Google or Yahoo search as a popularity contest between sites that have mentioned your search keywords. Websites are ranked by search engines largely based on how frequently they are visited and updated. For the most part, the search engine does not understand how search terms may relate to the search result. In the Semantic Web model, data on the Internet contains contextual meaning so that a search can access information that you really want. Instead of merely presenting a list of websites with your keyword, the search can connect your search interest with information that is contextually related to the desired topic. The end product of a Semantic Web enabled search tool is the ability to produce a smarter Internet - one where users can actually communicate with the information on the Web instead of stumbling upon it.
