Giving meaning to structure, semantics are front and center with HTML5. A richer set of tags, along with RDFa, microdata, and microformats, are enabling a more useful, data driven web for both programs and your users. Class: Offline & Storage Web Apps can start faster and work even if there is no internet connection, thanks to the HTML5 App Cache, as well as the Local…

Ambiguity occurs when something is open to more than one interpretation. Ambiguity is possible in literature, ideas, statements, arts, music, and math. At times, ambiguity is reliant on context; something can be ambiguous in one situation while unambiguous in another. For example, consider the short phrase, “I read the book.” This sentence alone could refer to the present or…

At the Adult Services Subcommittee s final meeting last Wednesday, much to do was made about semantic disagreements - ASD individual versus individual with ASD,and of course, the dreaded person with autism or person who has autism versus autistic person. These issues of semantics are hot button issues, and rightfully so. Words and language are powerful tools by which…

This article needs attention from an expert in Linguistics. Please add a reason or a talk parameter to this template to explain the issue with the article. WikiProject Linguistics (or its Portal) may be able to help recruit an expert. In lexical semantics, opposites are words that lie in an inherently incompatible binary relationship as in the opposite pairs big : small, long…

In this article we provide insight as to how semantics can be attached to Data Flow diagrams. We first present a method for transforming a Data Flow Diagram(DFD) to a Petri-Net (PT-net) which specifies the synchronization aspects of a DFD. Secondly, we sketch how a Data Flow diagram may be transformed to expressions whose semantics are described in terms of finite automata…

Notice that the move version of setTokens takes a non-const R-value reference (indicated by the double ampersand). This kind of parameter effectively indicates that it’s safe to move data out of it. We’ll cover that more later. Our parser class is now ready to receive moves, but that’s not the complete picture. You also need to make sure the calling code allows the move. This…

American Journal of Computational Linguistics , Microfiche 81, Frames 25-74. SUMMARY Ordinary dictionaries have not been given their due, either as sources of material for natural language understanding systems or as corpora that can be used to unravel the complexities of meaning and how it is represented. If either of these goals are ever to be achieved, I believe that investigators…

You will find this statement and this language…

When I was first getting started with Ruby, I heard a lot of talk about blocks, and how you could cast them to Procs by using the & operator when calling methods. Last week, in comments about my last post (Ruby is NOT a Callable Oriented Language (It’s Object Oriented)), I heard that claim again. To be honest, I never really thought that much about it, and the idea…

Often, developers being new to schema.org and the usage of semantic SEO techniques are confused about the relationship between schema.org and Microdata, Microformats, RDFa, GoodRelations, and other standards. Here is a quick explanation that I have been given so often that I assume it may be useful for others: When you expose structured data from within Web content by adding…
