This is true, maybe with a modfier to cut down on the number of possibiities for what kind of network is involved.  But this is generic, and we are (apparently) looking for a predicate that fits exactly the Web or the internet or only the two.

True again, but still not getting down to just the ones we are intrested in -- we still have radio and tv stations, telephones and newspapers for starters.

Well, I don't like the word much either, but that it is {linsi} rather than {jorne} is not obvious (nor is it that it is {jorne} neither). Since these all seem to be literalist lujvo (feh!), the "links" here are immaterial and so don't make up a chain -- and a chain is too incomplex to do justice to the the interconnectedness.  As for {jorne}, there is no common locus -- things are connected but not united.  Etc, etc, etc.  As for the {datni} part, that depends on what you take as data and, taken generally, just about anything turns out to be data, even "raw data."  And, of course, there are all sorts of rules that define the Web, starting with HTML (which is quite enough to start with).
