Glossary
- Graph, Webgraph:
-
A graph is a set of vertices (or nodes) V and a set of edges E. When we think of the World Wide Web as a graph, V is the set of pages and E the directed hyperlinks. In a social network, V is the people and E the set of relationships
- Hypertext Markup Language:
-
(HTML) A language which enables tools such as Web browsers to display information, particularly webpages
- Hypertext Transfer Protocol:
-
(HTTP) An application protocol which allows hypermedia to be transferred across a distributed space
- Hypertext:
-
Text and other objects connected in a nonlinear way by hyperlinks. These links allow associative browsing and therefore impose fewer constraints on the reader than linear text
- Linked Data Web:
-
That portion of the Web where HTTP and URIs are used to link individual pieces of structured data, rather than documents
- Open Data:
-
Data that are available for reuse...
