Re: W3C open content algorithms?

Thanks Martynas,

Something like SIOC would be a dependency for what I'm talking about,
although I'm thinking of a framework of user/editor preferences for how to
order posts (and other content) in e.g. a feed/homepage. The Facebook news
feed, for example, is famously ordered according to an algorithm, with
user-specific weightings driving its actions. It's that algorithm that I
think should follow standards, and be open, especially as we see more of
them curating web content.

It could be used by websites to order content, those sites could allow
users to alter their choices, users could store it client side to order
what they see on a site, etc.

Parameters to give weighting to content might include:

- user interests (by keyword)
- content recency
- author category (individual, org, advertiser, contributor, friend of user)
- length
- medium/format


Do you know of anything like that?

Thanks again!
