The Genetic Blueprint and The Internet is like a Messy Library

1, The Genetic Blueprint A decade after the invention of the World Wide Web, Tim Berners-Lee promotes the "Semantic Web". The Internet has so far been the repository of digital content. It has a rudimentary inventory system and very rudimentary data location services. As a result, most of the content is hidden and inaccessible. Furthermore, the Internet manipulates sequences of symbols, not logical or semantic propositions. In other words, the Net compares values ​​but does not know the meaning of the values ​​it manipulates in this way. It cannot interpret strings, infer new facts, deduce, inductive, derive, or understand what it is doing. In short, he doesn't understand the language. Run a vague term through any search engine and those gaps become painfully obvious. The lack of understanding of the semantic underpinnings of raw materials (data, information) prevents applications and databases from sharing resources and providing them with each other. The Internet is dis

Introduction to Intranets What exactly is an intranet? It's one of those terms that's more thrown around than understood, and has become more of a buzzword than a commonly understood idea. Simply put, an intranet is a private network with Internet technology used as the underlying architecture. An intranet is built using the Internet's TCP/IP protocols for communications. TCP/IP protocols can be run on many hardware platforms and cabling schemes. The underlying hardware is not what makes an intranet-it's the software protocols that matter. Intranets can co-exist with other local area networking technology. In many companies, existing "legacy systems" including mainframes, Novell networks, minicomputers, and various databases, are being integrated into an intranet. A wide variety of tools allow this to happen. Common Gateway Interface (CGI) scripting is often used to access legacy databases from an intranet. The Java programming language can be used to access
