The memetic web is our name for those web pages that have been enhanced by Memography meme tagging to add meaning (semantics) to the pages, specifically indicating what the pages are about.

The memetic web uses meme IDs created from registered memespace and taxospace names to tag web page content. Search engines return only specifically tagged pages. Knowledge workers can now collect together documents from diverse web sites with a single search command.

The Semantic Web uses XML, RDF, RDF Schemas, ontologies, and still-to-come AI inference engines to discover machine-readable meaning in web pages (placed there by humans of course).

The memetic web, by comparison, is a simple do-it-yourself scheme to embed the aboutness of a web page in a page. One or more meme IDs in the page are visible to the web's search engines. The memetic web uses nothing but today's available search technology and some globally unique meme IDs.

Memelinks to aboutness pages are URIs that can be used as RDF property values for the semantic web.
