Le web sémantique pour mieux anticiper le futur
Après le web 1.0 et le web 2.0, place au web sémantique. Jusque là encore unilatérale, la relation homme / machine prend une nouvelle dimension avec la sémantisation des contenus : les machines sont désormais capables de comprendre et d’exploiter le contenu. Pour notre plus grand bien ?
Le web sémantique est en marche pour nous préparer au futur. Des courants de pensées, tels que le « Future friendly web », prônent un web propre, structuré, et véhiculant du contenu porteur de sens, prêt à s’adapter et à être diffusé n’importe où, n’importe quand. À la croisée des Sciences Sociales et Humaines et des Sciences de l’Information et de la Communication, le web sémantique est donc sur le point de redéfinir nos relations communicationnelles ainsi que l’organisation de l’écosystème numérique.
Vers de nouveaux métiers ? De nouveaux acteurs ? De nouvelles pratiques ? Une chose est sûre, c’est qu’à partir d’aujourd’hui, la machine entre un peu plus dans notre sphère intime, relationnelle et communicationnelle. Un pas de plus vers l’intelligence artificielle ?

What are verbs
Verbs are the most important words in a sentence, as a single verb can form a complete one-word sentence. Verbs describe either the action that a subject performs, such as "run" or "fight", or the state of being of a subject, such as "be" or "seem". Verbs always have a subject that they are describing the action or state of. Additionally, verbs are unique in English in that they change form depending on tense, aspect, and subject number, with some verbs having up to five different forms like "to work, work, works, worked, working".
Verb classification
There are two broad classifications of verbs: helping verbs and main verbs. Helping verbs have no meaning on their own and are used grammatically with main verbs, of which there are only about 15 types. Main verbs have meaning on their own and communicate something, and there are thousands of different main verbs. Examples are provided of sentences using helping verbs and main verbs to demonstrate the difference.
Tag questions
Tag questions are statements followed by a short question at the end to request confirmation or agreement. They follow the structure of a positive statement with a negative tag or vice versa. The intonation and meaning can change depending on whether it is a real question or a statement. Answers to tag questions should reflect the true facts rather than simply agreeing with the question. Question tags are also sometimes used with imperatives for invitations or orders.
Simple past tense
The simple past tense is used to talk about completed actions or events in the past. It is formed using the past tense of the verb. For regular verbs, the past tense ends in "-ed", while irregular verbs have variable past forms. The simple past tense is used to describe both short and long duration past events, regardless of how far in the past they occurred. It is generally used when specifying the time or place of a past event. Examples are provided to illustrate its use in sentences.
Simple future tense
The document discusses the simple future tense in English. It is formed using the modal auxiliary verb "will" plus the base form of the main verb. It is used to talk about events that have not been planned or decided on yet, such as predictions, spontaneous decisions, or statements with the verb "be". Examples are provided to illustrate its use for plans without prior intention, predictions about the future, and sentences where the main verb is "be", which can indicate a pre-existing plan.
Relative pronouns
Relative pronouns introduce relative clauses and relate to the word they modify. The five relative pronouns are who, whom, whose, which, and that. Who and whom are for people, whose is for possession, which is for things, and that can be used for both people and things. Relative pronouns can be used as subjects or objects and refer to singular or plural nouns regardless of gender.
Reflexive pronouns
Reflexive pronouns refer back to the subject of the sentence or clause and end in "-self" or "-selves". There are eight reflexive pronouns: myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, themselves. Reflexive pronouns are used when the subject and object are the same person or thing, such as "John saw himself in the mirror" or "My dog hurt itself". Reflexive pronouns can also function as intensive pronouns to emphasize the antecedent, like "I myself made it" or "She herself spoke to me".
Reciprocal pronouns
There are only two reciprocal pronouns in English: each other and one another. These pronouns are used when two or more subjects are performing the same action towards each other. For example, if John is talking to Mary and Mary is talking to John, we would say that they are talking to each other. Reciprocal pronouns require that there be two or more people, things, or groups involved in a mutual or reciprocal action.
Proper nouns
Proper nouns are special nouns used to name people, places, and organizations like John, Marie, London, France or Sony. Proper nouns have their own rules and are capitalized unlike common nouns which are not capitalized such as man, boy, woman, girl, country, town, company, shop, month, day of the week, book, and film. Examples of proper nouns include John, Mary, England, London, Ford, Sony, Maceys, McDonalds, January, Sunday, War & Peace, and Titanic.
Pronoun case
Pronouns in English display case according to their function in a sentence. There are three cases - subjective, objective, and possessive. The subjective case is used when the pronoun is the subject. The objective case is used when the pronoun is the object. The possessive case shows possession. A table shows the different forms pronouns take for each case, including for personal pronouns like I, you, he, she, it, we, they. Determining whether to use "Mary and I" or "Mary and me" depends on whether they are the subject or object in the sentence.
Present perfect tenses
The present perfect tense is formed using the present tense of the auxiliary verb "have" and the past participle of the main verb. It is used to express actions that started in the past and have relevance in the present. Examples of the present perfect tense include "I have seen ET", "You have eaten mine", and "She has not been to Rome". The auxiliary verb and subject are often contracted in spoken English, such as "I've" and "she's".
Present perfect continuous tense[1]
The document discusses the present perfect continuous tense in English. It provides the structure of the tense, examples of its use, and two main uses: 1) an action that recently stopped with a present result, and 2) an action continuing up to the present. It also discusses using contractions in speech and writing, and using "for" and "since" with the present perfect continuous tense to indicate periods of time or points in the past.
