lei skami tanru pe la xod

["Jorge Llambias" <jjllambias@hotmail.com>]

>Program: skami pruce (is this in standard use?)

I have seen {selpla} or {skami selpla} used a few
times. The execution of a program might be a
process, but the program itself?

> also (immaterial machine: mucti minji, especially when referring to Object 
>Oriented code)

I like that one.

> Operating System:  skami pruce zbepi (want to convey it as the basis 
>for programs)

That might work. But a {skami pruce} would be
a program running, not the program code.

> Internet: skami munje nirna

Maybe too metaphorical. In any case, shouldn't
it be {selnirna}? But {skami munje terjudri}
seems to work well.

> Software: tolmarji <aspect> skami (what's the word for
>"aspect"?)

{pagbu}? {tcila}?

> Hardware: marji <aspect> skami

Or you could just say {skami tolmarji} and {skami marji}.

> content: selcusku
> hypertext: to'e linji selcusku

Maybe. What is the opposite of a line for connecting
some set of points? Another possibility could be
something like {vrici terjo'e selcusku}.

> multimedia: ricfu selcusku

Or {vrici velcusku}

> WWW: selcusku nirna

I like the Esperanto translation of WWW,
which is TTT. (Standing for Tut-Tera Teksajxo.)
Is it really necessary to distinguish between
WWW and Internet?

> Data: lei datni (data-mass)
> Information: tolciste fatci (facts-mass)

Why not just {fatci}? Can't you have systematic
information? I admit that I don't understand the
distinction you want to make here between data
and information.

> Knowledge: smuni fatci (meaning-mass)

Also {seldjuno}.

> do we have a word like "meta"?

{bancu} is probably closest. But I prefer, for
example, {vasru bangu} for "metalanguage".
