This position paper discusses various issues concerning the semantic web. We claim that reflection on formats has attracted the most important part of the research effort so far, whereas the web (including the future semantic web) is mainly made of texts. From our point of view, research should attach a major role to natural language properties and deal with complexity, ambiguity and polysemy. We show that the initial model from T. Berners-Lee must be refined and made more complex if these natural language technologies are to take language diversity into account.

| selected citations These citations are derived from selected sources. This is an alternative to the "Influence" indicator, which also reflects the overall/total impact of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network (diachronically). | 1 | |
| popularity This indicator reflects the "current" impact/attention (the "hype") of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network. | Average | |
| influence This indicator reflects the overall/total impact of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network (diachronically). | Average | |
| impulse This indicator reflects the initial momentum of an article directly after its publication, based on the underlying citation network. | Average |
