  We elaborate a quantum model for the meaning associated with corpora of
written documents, like the pages forming the World Wide Web. To that end, we
are guided by how physicists constructed quantum theory for microscopic
entities, which unlike classical objects cannot be fully represented in our
spatial theater. We suggest that a similar construction needs to be carried out
by linguists and computational scientists, to capture the full meaning carried
by collections of documental entities. More precisely, we show how to associate
a quantum-like 'entity of meaning' to a 'language entity formed by printed
documents', considering the latter as the collection of traces that are left by
the former, in specific results of search actions that we describe as
measurements. In other words, we offer a perspective where a collection of
documents, like the Web, is described as the space of manifestation of a more
complex entity - the QWeb - which is the object of our modeling, drawing its
inspiration from previous studies on operational-realistic approaches to
quantum physics and quantum modeling of human cognition and decision-making. We
emphasize that a consistent QWeb model needs to account for the observed
correlations between words appearing in printed documents, e.g.,
co-occurrences, as the latter would depend on the 'meaning connections'
existing between the concepts that are associated with these words. In that
respect, we show that both 'context and interference (quantum) effects' are
required to explain the probabilities calculated by counting the relative
number of documents containing certain words and co-ocurrrences of words.
