Disclosed is a semantic user interface system that allows text information to be tagged with machine-readable IDs that are associated with concepts for conveying information without any ambiguity or without being hampered by the limitations of human languages. Typically, a plurality of vocabularies are stored across a network, and each vocabulary includes a plurality of machine-readable IDs each corresponding to a concept and at least one keyword corresponding to each machine-readable ID. An input interface accepts text information, selects those machine-readable IDs whose keywords match up with the text information, and returns a list of candidates each corresponding to one of the selected machine-readable IDs and including a corresponding description. The machine-readable IDs can carry information in the form of concepts without any ambiguity as opposed to text information. This system can be applied to web and database searches, publishing messages to selected subscribers, interfacing of applications software, machine translations, etc.
