Re: Annotea shared/social bookmarks/Semantic Web Search&Reasoning Engine

Very  neat.  I am new to this list so I am learning a lot about what other 
folks are doing.  Like a lot of folks I've been thinking about these things 
for years.

I like the bookmarks approach of flexible ontologies/ user-defined 
classification schemes, but would like to see a tool that allows users to map 
their categories to each other and to standard schemes. 

In fact, it seems to me that with a 32-byte or maybe 64-byte category code it 
should be possible to define a precise vector into information-space.  For 
example

 01: 00: 00: 00: 00: 00: 00: 00: 00: 00: 00: 00: 00:...  = dmoz top level
   (all categories starting with 01: are under dmoz scheme)
 02: 00: 00: 00: 00: 00: 00: 00: 00: 00: 00: 00: 00:...  = dewey decimal 
categories
 03: 00: 00: 00: 00: 00: 00: 00: 00: 00: 00: 00: 00:... = geo spatial 
 ...
 127: 00: 00: 00: 00: 00: 00: 00: 00: 00: 00: 00: 00:... = user defined, where
  xx:  xx: xx:  xx: xx: xx: next 10 bytes reserved for user id

I wrote something up about this years ago (about 1998, I think). At the time I 
wasn't familiar with RDF, and I'm still learning, but the ideas might be 
useful:

and since then started an actual project..but I better learn more what other 
people are doing before I describe my stuff so much ;-)

Thanks for being so open, glad I could join...

ps one nit to whoever manages the list - I wonder why we don't have subject 
line [Semantic Web] ?  I like to keep my listserv mail in my inbox, but have 
it immediately distinguishable from spam...
