Semantic computing

Semantic Computing is a field that addresses three core problems: (1) understanding the (possibly naturally expressed) intentions (semantics) of user and expressing them in a machine processable language; (2) understanding the meanings (semantics) of computational content (of various sorts, including but is not limited to text, video, audio, process, network, software, hardware) and expressing them in a machine processable language; and (3) mapping the semantics of user with that of content for the purpose of content retrieval, management, creation, etc.
