http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/topic_interest is pretty much deprecated. http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/interest (described at http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/#term_interest) is being favoured amongst FOAFsters although I prefer the former (though it needs to work with another ontology to describe these interests). http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/interest works by refering to a page on the web about the topic in question. This clearly works best for the kind of searches we're talking about if there is one page which is *the* page for the topic in question. http://www.w3.org/WAI/ is probably the most suitable choice in this case. > > Nice to hear you thinking on what I think are sound lines, anyway :-) > > If you add some stuff about "trust" you can find out who trusts a > particular accessibility expert, and that way you get to build up a > picture without relying on any particular central authority (I might > believe thatch, and you might believe joe, but we can trace the relevant > networks according to who trusts who and find people that we thin it is > reasoanble to trust...) > > I cc'ed tom croucher, because he is doing some work in this area at the > moment. > > cheers > > Chaals > > On Fri, 30 Jul 2004 01:20:24 +0100, Patrick H.
