The semantic web links databases globally and represents data on the World Wide Web. Both concepts were thought up by the same person (Tim Berners-Lee) and are therefore very compatible and work well with eachother.
The semantic puts all this information into the same format so it is easy to access.
"The Semantic Web is a Web that includes documents, or portions of documents, describing explicit relationships between things and containing semantic information intended for automated processing by our machines." (http://swag.webns.net/whatIsSW)
I'm still not entirely sure I understand this concept, but I'm getting the idea it has something to with processing information and bringing it up in front of us logically, perhaps with hyperlinks, etc which are similar to the topic we asked/clicked to read about.

Alyson,
Yes, I think you're beginning to get the idea of what this is about here. It's about sorting information for us to some extent, like a large organizer.
All the best
Emma
