Whaddya' got?

That question is very much like asking what can be stored in a
relational database system.

I mis-understood the notion of semantics. I thought that Semantic Web is trying to address the semantics present in the language. But did not understand how are they going to get that from RDF etc. You told me that they are some universal format. But my question was what do you mean making the semantic content explicit (Just by making the databases explicit, what can users do ?).

If I search for something like "flights from Spain to England" in the Semantic Web, what is the output. Is it not something like google outputs ?. I want to know about that. That's why I'm asking you all to quote an example.
