As they say: its Things for Strings. Basically, labels don't matter. 
Identifiers (URIs) are sacrosanct :-)

"The Semantic Web" is a literal moniker, its essence exists in the 
relational property graph that manifests its real description or formal 
definition.

Same applies to "Giant Global Graph" etc..

Now thanks to DBpedia and the rest of the LOD cloud collective, we have 
URIs and associated Linked Data oriented content for these concepts:

1. http://dbpedia.org/resource/Semantic_Web - Semantic Web
2. http://dbpedia.org/resource/Giant_Global_Graph -- Giant Global Graph
3. http://dbpedia.org/resource/Linked_Data -- Linked Data
4. http://dbpedia.org/resource/World_Wide_Web -- Web .

And thanks to Entity Relations & SPARQL we can do stuff like this: 
http://dbpedia.org/describe/?uri=http://dbpedia.org/resource/Giant_Global_Graph 
.

Labels don't matter anymore, it now boils down to the content 
(*character*) of those resources bearing Linked Data graphs :-)
