Hello, I an new on this list, and I would not dare to qualify as a person with a decent knowledge of RDF/OWL, however, since the political circumstances seem propitious at WSIS ( World Summit on the Information Society http://www.wsis.org ) , I naively felt it could be the moment to submit a bold proposal : Semantic Web gTLDs. I am in a position to propose this idea to delegations at the UN in Geneva, however I want to be re-assured that this proposal makes sense. see the site ( under construction ) http://www.semantic.cc There are several specific proposed SWgTLDs that are going to be detailed later ( unless I get convinced that my proposal is unfeasible ) The two ome about which some thinking is under way by friends are ..ART for digital artists ..EQUI transforming the whole gTLDs into a worldwide marketplace; There are two perspective in this proposal : 1/ a proposal in itself, with interlinked technical and governance aspects, hopefully to be implemented preferably sooner than later. 2/ an illustration that the report of the WGIG ( http://www.wgig.org ) stays only at the bottom of the OSI layers, it dealt in part with Internet but did not deal with the Web !!!! Questions about HTML, XML, SW, DOIs etc... were completely left aside.. it is rather stunning. Your comments and suggestions are kindly requested. Since doubt is the beginning of wisdom, you can be brutally honest in your opinion.
