SoftWare Development

Software development (also known as application development, software design, designing software, software application development, enterprise application development, or platform development) is the development of a software product. The term "software development" may be used to refer to the activity of computer programming, which is the process of writing and maintaining the source code, but in a broader sense of the term it includes all that is involved between the conception of the desired software through to the final manifestation of the software, ideally in a planned and structured process. Therefore, software development may include research, new development, prototyping, modification, reuse, re-engineering, maintenance, or any other activities that result in software products.
Software can be developed for a variety of purposes, the three most common being to meet specific needs of a specific client/business (the case with custom software), to meet a perceived need of some set of potential users (the case with commercial and open source software), or for personal use (e.g. a scientist may write software to automate a mundane task). Embedded software development, that is, the development of embedded software such as used for controlling consumer products, requires the development process to be integrated with the development of the controlled physical product.
The need for better quality control of the software development process has given rise to the discipline of software engineering, which aims to apply the systematic approach exemplified in the engineering paradigm to the process of software development.

Web Semantik

Pengertian Web Semantik (Semantic Web) atau definisi Web Semantik adalah pengembangan dari World Wide Web di mana makna semantik dari informasi di web didefinisikan, sehingga memungkinkan mesin untuk memprosesnya. Web Semantik berasal dari World Wide Web Konsorsium dari Web sebagai media universal data, informasi, dan pertukaran pengetahuan.

Web Semantik terdiri dari seperangkat prinsip-prinsip desain, kelompok kerja kolaboratif, dan berbagai teknologi. Beberapa elemen dari Web Semantik yang dinyatakan sebagai calon masa depan dan unsur-unsur lain dari Web Semantik disajikan dalam spesifikasi formal dimaksudkan untuk memberikan deskripsi formal konsep, istilah, dan hubungan dalam satu domain tertentu.

Istilah Web Semantik itu sendiri diperkenalkan oleh Tim Berners-Lee, penemu World Wide Web. Sekarang, prinsip web semantik disebut-sebut akan muncul pada Web 3.0, generasi ketiga dari World Wide Web. Bahkan Web 3.0 itu sendiri sering disamakan dengan Web Semantik. Web Semantik menggunakan XML, XMLS (XML Schema), RDF, RDFS (Resources Description Framework Schema) dan OWL.

Web Semantik merujuk kepada kemampuan aplikasi komputer untuk lebih memahami bahasa manusia, bukan hanya bahasa yang baku dari para penggunanya tetapi juga bahasa yang lebih kompleks, seperti dalam bahasa percakapan sehingga memudahkan penggunanya untuk berkomunikasi dengan mesin. Web Semantik dapat mengolah bahasa dan mengenali homonim, sinonim, atau atribut yang berbeda pada suatu database.
