Semantic Web Design

Definition: Semantics

  • The meaning or relationship of meanings of a sign or set of sign
  • Of or relating to meaning, especially in language

Semantic HTML is all about using tags, class names, and ids that reinforce the meaning of the content within the tags, and using the tags in the right way. Semantic HTML is an additional layer of communication. It is easier to edit and read, which means saving time and money during the maintenance. It is more accessible meaning that it can be better understood by a greater variety of devices. Semantic code is writing a more meaningful and powerful code.
