The chapter defines semantic computing as a field that addresses the derivation and matching of the semantics of computational content and that of naturally expressed user intentions to help retrieve, manage, manipulate, or even create the content, where “ content “ may be anything including video, audio, text, process, service, hardware, network, community, and so on. It brings together those disciplines concerned with connecting the intentions of humans with computational content. This connection can go both ways: retrieving, using, and manipulating existing content according to user ’s goals and creating, rearranging, and managing content that matches the author ’ s intentions. Semantic analysis is the foundation of semantic computing; it provides the information resource for semantic integration and semantic services. A major goal of semantic computing is providing more powerful computing services for all kinds of users.
