That may seem transparent to the semantic web. Probably easier to think of that in how we move out of the complexities of multi-headed clients that each had a single connection to the server, and now they use one single proxy in-between to stream the server connection. The proxy directs resources to-and-from the appropriate client, and in this simplified case the proxy is almost the reverse of the web-server. On that point, use of semantic client/server terminology in description makes less sense. -- --- https://twitter.com/Dzonatas_Sol --- Web Development, Software Engineering, Virtual Reality, Consultant
