EnglishWhere to Find the About, License, and Free Online Resources on Pierre Levy's Blog
Updated
The three links you need are in the site's top navigation bar, directly under the blog title: About & license, Free stuff online, and Semantic computing with IEML. The homepage below them is a running list of posts, so you can go straight from the menu to the section you want without hunting through articles.
Navigation Map
| Link in the top menu | What it leads to |
|---|---|
| About & license | Author information and the terms under which the blog's material is shared |
| Free stuff online | Online resources the site offers at no cost |
| Semantic computing with IEML | Material on IEML (Information Economy MetaLanguage) and semantic computing |
| Blog title / home | The post feed, newest entries first |
The site describes itself as "Various thoughts and papers in french and english," and the menu labels are in English even though individual posts may be in French. The most recent post shown on the homepage, "Lire le présent" (25 August 2026), is written in French by Pierre Lévy, a member of the Royal Society of Canada.
How to Use Each Entry
About & license
Open this first if you plan to quote, republish, or reuse anything from the blog. It is the only place on the site that states the author's background and the license terms together, so check it before treating a post as freely reusable. The menu label pairs the two, but the page itself is where the actual conditions are spelled out.
Free stuff online
This is the entry point for resources the blog links to or hosts at no charge. Treat it as a directory rather than a single download: follow the links from there to see what is currently available. The site does not publish a price list or a login requirement in the material available, so confirm access conditions on each linked resource rather than assuming everything behind the link is open.
Semantic computing with IEML
Use this if your interest is Lévy's work on IEML and semantic computing rather than his general essays. It sits alongside the blog feed as a distinct topic area, which makes it the faster route than scrolling posts.
The post feed
The homepage lists posts with titles and dates. Because the blog mixes French and English, check the language of a post before committing to read it—the title alone will not always tell you.
Common Sticking Points
- Menu labels vs. page language. The navigation is in English, but posts may be French. Do not assume an English menu means English content.
- "Free" is a label, not a guarantee. The menu says "Free stuff online," but the site's own pages do not document pricing or access terms for every linked item. Verify at the destination.
- License before reuse. If you intend to translate or repost a paper, read About & license first; the blog's dual-language format makes informal reuse tempting.
- Dated posts. The feed shows publication dates, and the visible post is dated 2026, so sort by date if you need the current state of an argument rather than an older version.
Quick Path
For most visitors: open About & license to confirm authorship and reuse terms, then Free stuff online for resources, then Semantic computing with IEML if your interest is technical. Use the homepage feed only when you want to browse recent writing.
