Re: Additional usages for Semanticweb.org

Hi,

I think this is an excellent idea.
In the early days we had this with business.semanticweb.org - but it makes
a lot more sense to integrate it into the main site.
To give it a head start maybe a few of us (you, Michael, Markus)
add a number of obvious candidates.

Best.

Stefan
