Philippe Aigrain » Un petit tournant historique
Les tournants historiques sont souvent relativement discrets. Il vient de s’en produire un aujourd’hui au parlement européen. Pour la première fois, le parlement vient de prendre position sur le rôle d’internet dans la société et la culture d’une façon qui ne se prête plus aux manipulations des grands groupes éditoriaux et de distribution de biens culturels. Le parlement a déjà par le passé arbitré avec courage entre la définition ou la mise en oeuvre des droits de propriété dans la sphère de l’information et les droits fondamentaux ou l’innovation. Il a ainsi refusé des extensions de la brevetabilité aux séquences génétiques en 1995 (avant qu’un lobbying effrené ne parvienne à le faire changer d’avis en 1998) et aux logiciels et méthodes logicielles de traitement de l’information en 2003 et 2005. Aujourd’hui, le parlement européen vient de manifester qu’il y a des limites à la plongée dans l’absurdité. This post is also available in: English

Web search query
Types[edit] There are four broad categories that cover most web search queries:[1] Informational queries – Queries that cover a broad topic (e.g., colorado or trucks) for which there may be thousands of relevant results.Navigational queries – Queries that seek a single website or web page of a single entity (e.g., youtube or delta air lines).Transactional queries – Queries that reflect the intent of the user to perform a particular action, like purchasing a car or downloading a screen saver. Search engines often support a fourth type of query that is used far less frequently: Connectivity queries – Queries that report on the connectivity of the indexed web graph (e.g., Which links point to this URL? Characteristics[edit] A study of the same Excite query logs revealed that 19% of the queries contained a geographic term (e.g., place names, zip codes, geographic features, etc.).[4] Structured queries[edit] See also[edit] References[edit] Jump up ^ Christopher D.
Dark Internet
Causes[edit] Failures within the allocation of Internet resources due to the Internet's chaotic tendencies of growth and decay are a leading cause of dark address formation. One form of dark address is military sites on the archaic MILNET. These government networks are sometimes as old as the original ARPANET, and have simply not been incorporated into the Internet's evolving architecture. See also[edit] References[edit]
