The whole idea of “the semantic web” is to separate content, presentation, and interaction. Well, I want to do that, but to do that I need to create one sub-domain to hold the website’s stylesheets, JavaScript, and images (presentation and interaction). So I figured I needed a self explaining domain name http://magicword.mywebsite.tld/

Anyone care to help me pick out a good domain/word?

Why?????

Is there something wrong with putting them in subfolders in your opinion??

Load balancing purposes.

I am only curious if there is a term better suitable than the common http://static.domain.tld/.

So why does it matter for "load balancing" purposes.

and to be perfectly honest, how does having a subdomain probably on the same server handling a few requests equate to "load balancing".

The general idea of seperating "content, presentation, and interaction" is to NOT have them in the page source code by having them in externally referenced files on the same server, by going your route of a subdomain would neccessitate a second or maybe third HTTP connection just to get all the component parts.
This could lead to a reduction of quality in the "user experience" by introducing a totally uneccessary potential slowdown of the page being loaded and / or rendered.

...and what about the word I am looking for? Have you got anything to say on that matter?

Have you got anything to say on that matter?

Other than I really don't see why on earth you are wasting time and energy over someting that simply isn't of any importance whatsoever.

NOBODY is ever going to think "That must be a great site because the images are in a subdomain of cool-pictures.hostname.tld"
It simply doesn't work like that.

Well, I do not understand your problem with my perfectionism.

I think the issue here is the confusion about separating style, content, etc. The semantic web is not just throwing things onto separate servers. You can have everything on the same server, it doesn't matter. The goal of the semantic web is to increase data portability. Basically, that means that your content has to be not only human readable, but computer readable. A "smart bot" must be able to come in, look at your content, and relate it in some way to some related content, all by itself.

I would recommend looking into ontologies, OWL, and RDF. The basics of the semantic web are coming together, it's just a question of who, or what, is going to make that big push forward.

yeah "presenteraction" =
presentation and interaction

If you really want to learn about the Semantic Web, I did a huge article on it that's on my site.
