Google Is Now a Semantic Search Engine. What Does It Mean?
Published on Wordlift (Jason Barnard)
Since 2010, Google has started a process of semantic transformation. After acquiring Metaweb (an innovative startup) and founding, together with other search engines, Schema.org, Google has finally turned into a large-scale semantic engine.
In short, today Google doesn’t just rank web pages using keywords and backlinks, it has also built a database of semantic concepts, the Knowledge Graph.
This fascinating database, made up of over 500-billion facts, today contains much of the knowledge on the web, and allows Google to give more and more answers to users.
