Hi SWEO, I finally found the page that really inspired me to the whole "portal" idea: http://www.rorweb.com/rorintro.htm This is their homepage: http://www.rorweb.com/ Its a page of a company that makes something "like the" Semantic-Web but not exactly. It hit me in November, because these small startups make good-sounding websites, and we don't. What I especially hate is: "I use ROR and it made my life a better place, John Doe, CEO of blah.com" I want statements as this on our portal: "I use Semantic Web and it cured cancer. John Doe, CEO ChibaImplants.com" btw: rorweb was one of the reasons made me join sweo (read the funny story: http://leobard.twoday.net/20061113/) best Leo It was Leo Sauermann who said at the right time 04.04.2007 16:03 the following words: > > Lee, Kingsley, > > A good discussion, it brought out what we really want. > > It was Kingsley Idehen who said at the right time 02.04.2007 15:49 the > following words: >> >> Lee et al, >> >> How far away is <http://projects.semwebcentral.org/> from what you >> are seeking? > > Far.
