thumb|192x192px|Semacode used for accessing Wikipedia in the form of Semapedia. Semacode was a software company based in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, known for a product with the same trade name – machine-readable ISO/IEC 16022 Data Matrix barcodes, which are used to encode Internet URLs.
Semacodes were primarily aimed at being used with cellular phones which have built-in cameras, to quickly capture a Web site address for use in the phone's web browser. The system was created by Simon Woodside after he was thinking of a followup to the use of CueCat barcode scanners. When it launched it operated only on Nokia camera phones that use the Symbian Series 60 operating system.
