is this     Artificial Intelligence


“
A Semantic Web is not Artificial Intelligence
            The concept of machine-understandable documents does not imply some magical artificial intelligence
which allows machines to comprehend human mumblings.

            It only indicates a machine's ability to solve a well-defined problem by performing well-defined
operations on existing well-defined data.

          Instead of asking machines to understand people's language, it involves asking
people to make the extra effort.

                                                                                                     ”
