The semiotics contribution on the Web

Abstract

The paper considers the semiotics levels of representation, or levels of meaning of notions on the Web, as well as the semiotics contributions on the Web through the use of the Semantic Web technologies. The idea of the future Web implies comprehensive and simultaneous use of main semiotics postulates such as syntactic, semantics, and pragmatics. The semiotics techniques such as connotation and denotation of signs are explained in the context of meaning creation, as well as the use of the de dicto/de re attitudes in the context of logic understanding and meaning creation on the Web. Acquirement of this level of Web intelligence is explained through the use of the Ontology Process Enclave.
