Now, the second thing that I want to talk about was this idea of restructuring, that what the Web is doing is restructuring.
第二,我想谈谈重建的概念,网络正在重建。
And I have to warn you, that what we'll talk about is -- I'm going to give my explanation of a term you're hearing, which is a "semantic Web."
我先声明,接下来我要为语义网(semantic web)下个定义。
So first of all, the first stage that we've seen of the Internet was that it was going to link computers.
第一阶段,我们过去看到的因特网是把电脑连接起来。
And that's what we called the Net; that was the Internet of nets. And we saw that, where you have all the computers of the world.
也就是我们说的网络,那是“Internet of Net”(把网链接起来)。我们看到了这个,这里有全世界所有的电脑。
And if you remember, it was a kind of green screen with cursors,
如果你还记得当时的电脑,荧屏上都是绿色的字还有游标,
and there was really not much to do, and if you wanted to connect it, you connected it from one computer to another computer.
不能做太多事,如果想要连接,就要从一台电脑连到另一台电脑。
And what you had to do was -- if you wanted to participate in this, you had to share packets of information.
如果想要参与,就要分享一份资料封包。
So you were forwarding on. You didn't have control. It wasn't like a telephone system where you had control of a line: you had to share packets.
然后你需要传递过去,你不能控制什么,不像电话系统,你可以控制电话的另一端,你只是分享封包。
The second stage that we're in now is the idea of linking pages.
第二阶段,也就是现在的连接网页的概念。
So in the old one, if I wanted to go on to an airline Web page, I went from my computer, to an FTP site, to another airline computer.
过去,如果要到航空公司的网页, 我得先从自己的电脑连到FTP站,再连到航空公司的电脑。
Now we have pages -- the unit has been resolved into pages, so one page links to another page.
现在,我们有网页,单位变成网页从一页连到其他页。
And if I want to go in to book a flight, I go into the airline's flight page, the website of the airline, and I'm linking to that page.
如果我想订机位,就连到航班的页面,航空公司的网站,
And what we're sharing were links, so you had to be kind of open with links. You couldn't deny -- if someone wanted to link to you, you couldn't stop them.
我们之间分享的就是连接。你得打开连接。你不能拒绝连接过来的人,无法阻止,
You had to participate in this idea of opening up your pages to be linked by anybody. So that's what we were doing.
你得参与这个概念,就是打开你的页面,让任何人都能连进来。这就是我们现在做的。
