Learn about the Semantic Web
The semantic web is composed of many standards and terms. Many of them are overly technical and you are by no means required to have a firm understanding of these terms in order to use the Semantify service. If you'd like to learn more on the semantic web, here are a bunch of relevant resources:

- RDFa Primer
- The official microformats site
- The Yahoo announcement
