Semantics on the web.

searchengines vs semantics.

[Mumerikk]

I have a question for all of you people with
their thinking caps on top of their heads....

It have been written a lot about theme based pages, and the fact (?) that search engines are doing their indexing of web pages / websites with themes as an more important factor than earlier.

With my own knowledge, I would say that themes and theme based sites is a fact. More or less.

But this adds another important question....

What about semantics, and the possible fact that
the search engines and the people behind them actually have implemented some kind of systems for semantics, or how to recognize words in sentences, to make the best possible results for their users ? There might as well be more than one system, there could be several different systems that look at all the usual stuff, like keyword density, theme based pages, links in and out, and also semantics.

This is just thoughts that came up when I put my thinking cap on, but still very interesting.

Any thoughts about this, someone have something to add to what I have written here?

Please, be my guest, and reply to this. I would really appreciate other meanings on this 'into the unknown' SE world :)

I have created a number of web databases on nearly every concept i can think of to sort content on the web.

Some produce very nice SERPs like themes (either incoming, or outgoing links; or site theme content). Themes are easy to program for also, much better than keyword density.

I have created in my head algo's that i believe could work but have yet to program them. Such as having the engine examine links to create the ideal authority hub, then compair sites to it, (Via determining the desired content sites). Then refine the content sites, based on the human created sites (at least until the spammers spam). Such an algo would fall appart under the pressure of webmasters who need more visitors.

>> semantics, or how to recognize words in sentences ...

Are you refering to identifing nouns and adjectives? And then using the nouns as the a must contain and the adjectives as a may contain? This helps the searcher but means little to the webmaster.

If you have conceived a method to use sematics to sort webpages I am interested in your concept.
