Abstract, scope and disclaimer

These notes are meant as a companion to a lecture on the topic at the Reasoning Web Summer School 2011. The goal of this work is to present diverse and known material on modeling the Web from a data perspective, to help students to get a first overview of the subject.

Methodologically, the objective is to give pointers to the relevant topics and literature, and to present the main trends and development of a new area. The idea is to organize the existing material without claiming completeness. In many parts the notes have a speculative character, oriented more towards suggesting links and generating discussion on different points of view, rather than establishing a consolidated view of the subject.

The historical accounts and references are given with the sole objective of aiding in the contextualization of some milestones, and should not be considered as signaling intellectual priorities.
