 Rosetta Stone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Rosetta Stone is a dark grey-pinkish granite stone (originally thought to be basalt in composition) with writing on it in two languages, Egyptian and Greek, using three scripts, Hieroglyphic, Demotic Egyptian and Greek.
The Rosetta Stone is stone three in a series of three, a stone each for Ptolemy III, Ptolemy IV, and the Rosetta Stone, for Ptolemy V. Leap Year is implemented in Stone 1, the Stone of Canopus, for Ptolemy III.
Rosetta Stone is also used as a metaphor to refer to anything that is a critical key to a process of decryption, translation, or a difficult problem, e.g., "the Rosetta stone of immunology", "thalamo-cortical rhythms, the Rosetta stone of a subset of neurological disorders", "Arabidopsis, the Rosetta stone of flowering time (fossils)".

 Rosetta - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rosetta is the anglicised name of the city of Rashid, a port city on the Mediterranean Sea in Egypt.
With the decline of Alexandria following the Ottoman conquest of Egypt in the 16th century, Rosetta boomed, only to wane in importance after Alexandria's revival.

The Rosetta Stone is a dark granite stone (often incorrectly identified as "basalt") which provided modern researchers with translations of ancient text in Egyptian demotic script, Greek, and Egyptian hieroglyphs.

 Comet   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Rosetta observed the Deep Impact event, and with its set of very sensitive instruments for cometary investigations, it used its capabilities to observe Tempel 1 before, during and after the impact.
At a distance of about 80 million kilometres from the comet, Rosetta was in the most privileged position to observe the event.
Rosetta measured the water vapour content and the cross-section of the dust created by the impact.

Standard separator for the title and the subtitle (that is: in the case both taken together don't compose a continuing phrase) in the page name is ":" followed by a space, like in the first example above.
To disambiguate, add the type of literary work in parentheses, such as "(novel)", "(novella)", "(short story)", "(dialogue)", "(essay)", "(play)", etc. If none of these specific qualifiers applies, also "(book)" can be used.
This is an additional feature that might help in disambiguation, for instance for distinguishing articles on a known phrase, and a book that has that phrase as title, examples:

 Napoleon I of France
In 1798, the French government, afraid of Bonaparte's popularity, charged him to invade Egypt in order to undermine Britain's access to India.
An indication of Napoleon's devotion to the principles of the Enlightenment was his decision to take scholars along on his expedition: among the other discoveries that resulted, the Rosetta Stone was translated.
Napoleon's fleet in Egypt was completely destroyed by Nelson at The Battle of the Nile, so that Napoleon became land-bound.

 Julius Caesar   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
This story is probably untrue, as the name "Caesar" had already been in the family for generations before the famous Caesar's birth, without even considering the medical likelihood of a successful Caesarean section having been performed in 100 BC.
Other derivations suggest that the root of the name may not be of Latin origin; the Rosetta Stone contains a hieroglyphic cartouche transcribed as "k-e-s-r-s" and supposed to be related to the Latin sense.
Another suggested foreign derivation is the Persian Kasrá (pl. Akásirah), the title of four great dynasties of Persian kings, via Ahasuerus (i.e., Khshayarsha, better known as Xerxes I, the grandson of Cyrus the Great); eventual relationship between kisri and kasrá is seen as less meaningful, mostly referred to later times (Sassanides).

We are born with such a compass and its true north is discernable by disambiguating our meaning needs.
The principle intention of the interface is to provide an environment that is responsive enough to the learner's articulation of meaning needs that it exercises the learner's ability to be more discriminating (disambiguating) of them in the first place.
The Rosetta Stone represents the notion of translating from one language or symbol system that is known into another system that is not.

In order to arrive at a reasonably coherent programme for the workshop it is therefore proposed to focus on a limited number of topics.
Computational Semantics and Machine Translation The importation of methods and analyses from formal and computational semantics has proved useful for modeling the translation of such notoriously difficult expressions as determiners, pronouns, negation and tense/aspect markers.
The contextual disambiguation of word senses, for instance, could be seen as a form of reasoning with underspecified semantic representations.

This point is very near the present mosque of Nebi Daniel; and the line of the great east-west "Canopic" street only slightly diverged from that of the modern Boulevard de Rosette.
Traces of its pavement and canal have been found near the Rosetta Gate, but better remains of streets and canals were exposed in 1899 by German excavators outside the east fortifications, which lie well within the area of the ancient city.
Alexandria consisted originally of little more than the island of Pharos, which was joined to the mainland by a mole nearly a mile long and called the Heptastadion ("seven stadia" -- a stadium was a Roman unit measuring somewhat more than 200m).
