RE: Invitation to new Meaningfuel.org project

Perhaps I have misunderstood, but for me the real value of a project
like meaningfuel is to allow the whole metadata community to build and
share a metadata vocabulary (complete with different implementation as
XML element names namespaces and attributes, where appropriate). I think
this is an excellent initiative!

As far as I can tell, SWAG is a dictionary of SW terms principally for
use by humans, whose definition is entrusted to a small group of
administrators, and this seems to me to be rather different.

You might want to peek at an earlier (still sort of alive) nearly 
identical effort at http://swag.webns.net/
