categorization of finformation/priority

Gavin

you said


. If you Google for functional response plans, you
should come up with many different structures that define Emergency
Support Functions - such as Fire and Rescue, Law Enforcement,
Information, Energy. Note that these functions do vary from country
to country.

I am afraid it aint quite the case yet for me at list, but maybe you use a
different browser (LOL)

I think the categorization of information is something that we should work
alongside with

at the moment when I search, as you suggest 'functional response plans' I
retrieve a bunch of unstructured links, with no
apperent logic/functional cluster attached to it

It would be good if we could find a way of  adding a categorization layer
that 'sorts' these search results
into broad categories, this is generallay done trhough metatada, tags  or
other superstructures like RDF

I believe this is something that many of us in the internet research and
ontology community are already working on,  and probably a priority on
googles 'to do' list too, so maybe this could be included in the scope of
this workgroup too?
ideas?
