This post summarizes the main concepts from the Semantic Web series. So let's restate what the <alt> Semantic Web provides:

1. 1.Meta data that's created by users and not page authors
   

2. 2.Meta data that's used for user empowerment and not publisher control
   

3. 3.Meta data that describes the document's content and not the document itself
   

4. 4.Meta data that's dynamic, active, and executable and not static and passive
   

5. 5.Meta data that empowers all types of users including the vision impaired and non-American English speakers
   

6. 6."Knowledge" that is based on what the user deems useful from 1 web source or the composition of many web sources and is not divined by special databases and query languages
   

To sum up, the <alt> Semantic Web implementation differs from the W3C prescribed implementation because at its core: the <alt> Semantic Web empowers web users and the W3C Semantic Web empowers everyone but users.

A bold statement. Heresy to some. Reality to the enlighten.

This concludes our first series on the Semantic Web. We will add new entries to update you as our implementation advances or... if the W3C Semantic Web begins to better support web users.
