Following Follow namespaces the Semantic Web Web 2.0 Web 3.0 Web development This is the third in a continuing series of blogs about the Semantic Web and Web 2.0/3.0. Let’s look carefully at that word. Even though it is very far from completely existing, the Semantic Web effort is a number of years old now. So, what do we mean when we use this word, in particular, with regard to the Semantic Web? Like a human or “natural” language, a programming language has two key aspects: syntax and semantics.

Interestingly, a human statement can be syntactically correct, while its semantics might be ambiguous. There is a broader – and far more ill-defined – use of the word “semantics” in computing. Very important: when we look at the structure of the data, it includes all the terms used to describe the data. Yes, in fact. What about the rest of the definition of data on the Semantic Web?

Etext Center: Collections. University of Virginia Library > Our Organization > The Electronic Text Center The Electronic Text Center (1992-2007), known to many as “Etext,” served the University community’s teaching and research needs in the areas of humanities text encoding for fifteen years. Many of the resources once available on Etext are now available via VIRGO, the Library’s online catalog and the primary access point for all U.Va. Library digital texts and images. In the course of migrating thousands of texts from Etext to VIRGO, we determined that certain resources were not eligible for inclusion, most often due to copyright issues. Many of the texts that were not migrated can be found among other university online text collections, Google Books, HathiTrust and Project Gutenberg. We regret any inconvenience this may cause you and we wish you the best with your research. Some pages from the Etext center have been preserved at the Internet Archive.
