I was wondering whether anyone had any ideas (however "pet") on applications/domains which might lend themselves to compelling showcases, but that dealt primarily with "pure" data. By that I mean not focussed around metadata associated with human-readable content, but rather on Things. I've heard of quite a few around HCLS, but these aren't really comprehensible for the non-specialist. Out in the Web 2.0 environment I can only think of social networks (i.e. some FOAF, probably not SIOC*), but that space seems generally overloaded with non-semweb applications, it would be hard to make something novel enough. Databases are used in the Enterprise for everything under the sun - surely there must be a few applications that would make compelling showcases exposed on the web..? Cheers, Danny. * re. not SIOC - while I think that work has immense potential, it still has doc content as a big part in the form of posts -- http://dannyayers.comReceived on Monday, 25 December 2006 10:02:01 GMT
