The information semantic enrichment, based on the ontology concept, permits the improvement of its definition and the use of automatic tools to extend services offered to users. The Semantic Web line carries out multidisciplinary research projects (computer science and linguistics) aimed to find innovative solutions to complex problems relating to information processing and management.

Nowadays, there are only incomplete tools to find and show e-information. Consequently, integrated Service browsers can only show results containing the exact words entered by users when making a search. However, with the semantic web, information requests made by users concerning, for example, hotel bookings, flights, doctors, books, etc. are answered in a precise way.

The way we understand the Internet is changing thanks to the semantic web. Instead of being a big information library, it will become a tool that allows giving answers to users’ questions and providing services suitable to each situation.
