Good spiders crawling the web for Swedish 17th century art (simplified)

artDef points to a solid definition of art notions and concepts at "http:/worldart.org” explaining ”art”, ”painter”, etc.

timeDef points to a solid definition of time periods at ”http://agreedTimeHandling.com”, determining notion like ”century”, etc.

foaf points to a solid definition of personal attributes (”friend-of-a-friend”).

geo points to a solid definition of geographical notions and concepts.

The web is an unstructured mess of HTML. But it can also be an understandable database

– the semantic web.
