Semantic web
From Creolista!
Introduction
One difficulty with the web is its sheer size. In the early days, I navigated the Internet through a combination of errance and navigating through hierarchical Gopher menus (which by 1995 began to be supplanted by web directories like Yahoo! and AltaVista
Search engines made the web much more accessible: AltaVista (95), Infoseek, Lycos, Exicte (which could have bought Google for 750,000 in 1998), and of course Google.
Markup languages
The languages of the web, such as:
- SGML
- Standardized General Markup Language
- XML
- eXtensible Markup Language
- HTML
- HyperText Markup Language
add either structural/presentational (HTML) or semantic (XML) information to plain text. For example:
particles
adpositions
The term adposition is a hyperonym for the terms preposition and postposition
