Abstract

A method, system and apparatus for routing data through a network based on the content or semantics of the data. Semantic routing engines route the data through the network based upon information maintained in routing tables. The routing tables used to route the content through the network are derived by aggregating information about either content consumers or content producers into ontological trees.
