Sending a web request into the web will produce, if the corresponding resource exists, a web response in the form of a web page, an HTML document, a picture, an RDF graph, an error message, etc.

In this section, learn by example how to add a Web source.
Example of 'the Wikipedia page of Amédée VIII'
1. Indicate a name & a definition for your Web Source
Create a new web source
The first step is to give your web source a name. This can be the title of the web page or a name of your own choice.
It is important to add a small definition. This will help you and other users to understand and identify the source object. Give some details about the exemplar or indicate where it is located.
2. Give the URL of the page and a type of web request
The field call "has web address" allows you to enter the web address (Uniform Resource Locator / URL) of your web page.
