A major promise of DIDO is the ability to use machines to automatically process data and transactions rather than to rely on humans “in the middle.” A key to automating many of these processes is realized through the adoption of the [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:s:semantic_web| semantic web]]. In essence, the semantic web is the institutional memory and experience captured in machine readable form and available at each [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:n:node|node]]. This eliminates the centralized human-centric requirements of the past and supports a distributed, automated solution. The semantic web uses formal [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:s:semantics|semantics]] that unambiguously capture the vocabulary and [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:o:ontology|ontology]] of the domain.
