Re: AWWSW Telecon Tuesday 2011-08-30 ?

This is a good suggestion.

Don't you mean the RDF the other way around though? That is, a URI
with retrievals yielding a page about the poem, used as a name for the
poem?

My attitude toward the presentation may be more relaxed now than it
was in June, since I'm much closer now to despairing that there will
ever be a durable consensus on anything resembling Tim's architecture
(which I still like). That means I'll do better at giving equal time
to the opposing view. Section 4 as written takes Tim's as the starting
point and backs away from it; now I should be able to write it
starting at a distance (closer to Roy or Ian Davis) and then present
Tim's architecture as a parsimony option.

(I really need a better label than "Tim's architecture" especially
since it's really "JAR's refinement of Tim's architecture"...)

The problem for me is that while I like my theory, nobody else seems
to get it, meaning it's still too rickety and poorly expressed to be
viable. It took years of work to get here, but it still has annoying
warts, and I'm just too close to it to be able to present it well.
