Now, when I make a comment such as the one I make above, how would you expect I or anyone else on this mailing list to crystallize the point anecdotally? Without some demo or commentary about how the meshing has been achieved? I am spending a lot of time on this matter, because SWEO has a serious task on its hands. The Semantic Web is a serious things and I shuddered to think about an evolution of the web that protracts (unnecessarily) the materialization of this vision. Pet projects, relevant Vendor examples and demo URIs are all elements of the knowledgebase I am hoping we end up constructing via this SWEO effort (ultimately exposed as a SPARQL accessible Data Source). No single vendor is going to own the Web (hopefully I am preaching to the choir here). We are moving into an era of unprecedented collaboration like no other (thanks to the Web). Sharing knowledge, information, and data in all their respective forms must be welcome (style is irrelevant since substance is all that counts). Imagine the lost knowledge sharing opportunity (to me and potentially others), if I didn't go look around at IBIS? And more importantly, provide a link (one of our conventions here)? Imagine that? Links: 1. http://dannyayers.com:88/xmlns/ibis/index.htm (IBIS) 2. http://www.w3.org/2001/Annotea/ (IMHO - Marja Ritta should be part of SWEO) Kingsley > just my 0.5 cents, no offence, > Ben > > On 21.12.2006 15:57:58, Kingsley Idehen wrote: > >> john.breslin@deri.org wrote: >> >>>> Use PiggyBank to browse a SIOC-enabled site :-) >>>> >>> Or try TimeLine - I think this is cool - see all the posts a person >>> has written in time either in one blog, across blogs, across >>> discussion systems, or everything by people created on a topic or in a >>> community/social network.
