Semantic tags not only provide machine readable search engine reference information, but also allow users to develop  [[Directory:Sarbanes-Oxley|dynamic content]] that can be combined with emerging [[Centiare:Extensions|media utilities]].

Almost all of the '''semantic tagging''' that's taking place in [[Directory:Centiare|Centiare]] will fall into two types of scenarios -- '''[[Centiare:Relations|Relations]]''' and '''[[Centiare:Attributes|Attributes]]'''.

Suppose you were writing an article about the city of Berlin, Germany.  You could easily type out in the article that "'''Berlin is the capital of the unified country of Germany, and there are nearly 3.4 million people living in its metropolitan area.'''"  That's really good encyclopedia information.

However, if someone searches for the exact phrase "capital of Germany" or "population of Berlin", your sentence that happens to answer both of those questions would not be returned by either of those particular text searches.  What we hope to see in Centiare is active use of the semantic tagging process, so that such information is more likely to be found -- by either humans typing in commands, or machines programmed to find information.

So, the essence of semantic tagging is, somewhere in the Berlin article text, or in an infobox, or even in an addendum at the bottom of the article, if you want to create a semantic link that describes a "capital-relationship", this is done by writing:

There are many advantages to using [[Centiare:ordinal identifier|ordinal identifier]]s (Centiare convention is numbers) to further differentiate between certain related attributes.

The two general cases are:
*When attribute '''''values''''' are variable/non-standard e.g. job titles vs movie titles, which means one searches on attributes themselves, not attribute ''values''. In other words, while [[Centiare:Tutorial#Use_uniform_titles_when_identifying_any_Key_Person|job titles]] may vary between different key people, such as president, vice-president, director, etc., there is only one (the original) "Gone With the Wind". Here's an example from the [[Special:Attributes|attributes list]]:

The cross-over point between attributes & relations is where topics/subjects warrant individual pages. For example, individuals may have multiple degrees. The question arises as to whether it is better to have ordinal attributes or relations. In this case, it is preferable to have ordinal attributes because a relation to page labeled "Bachelors Degree" provides limited utility.

Concepts such as [[Relation:Subject Interest|subject interest]]s can also be semantically tagged as ''[[Centiare:relations|relations]]'', since common Directory or Main pages can be interlinked to multiple users via [[Centiare:ASK|ASK]] queries (see [[Skiing]] for an example).

Centiare is beginning to standardize the use of tags in certain specified areas. It is expected these guidelines will be used to form a consistent approach towards classifying information to increase both usability and searching.

Centiare uses a parser function called '''[[Centiare:ASK|ASK]]''' to perform free-form queries. ASK provides a ready complement to the [[Centiare:Search Triple|Search Triple]] query-by-form facility.

When people use the [[Special:SearchTriple|"Search Triple"]] feature in Centiare, they will have utmost confidence and success in finding the articles they are looking for, if they correctly use the search forms, and you've correctly tagged your articles for semantic searching.

The possibilities for this are literally limitless, for both businesses and individuals.  Imagine conducting a search for a male, born in Michigan between 1965 and 1968, who has interests in both skiing and poker.  Do you think that would be easy with MySpace, Wikipedia, or Google?  Fat chance.  But on Centiare, it will be a [[Directory:Gregory_J._Kohs|piece of cake]], if you [[Centiare:Learning ASK|learn to use]] the '''ASK''' function.
