The new improved Web will also combine pieces of information from multiple sites in order to find answers to questions."

  2. Being built by Lehigh university eh? by The_reformant · · Score: 5, Informative

    The semantic web is a pretty popular area of research right now and its far from being "built by computer scientists at Lehigh University", in fact I could have done an undergrad dissertation on the semantic web, and there were numerous phD positions being advertised at uni's around the world researching about the semantic web.
    Whichever lehigh uni professor submitted this is stooping pretty low trying to raise publicity (and hence finance) I would think!
