And that is a reply to the previous mail, also not meant for this list... Sigh.

For example, the way the RDFa initial context vocabularies[1] have been chosen was to use search engine dump to find the most widely used vocabularies, and we chose the top 10 (or 15, I do not remember). I think that seeding the directory that way would be an important starting point. If we take only a limited number, then the 'dwarfing' effect can be reduced. > > General comments: > > I think it would be important to have a feeling on what can/should be done, technically, pretty soon, like _in the coming weeks_. If the tools available for hosting are not really usable, or if the directory does not have some minimal tooling, then this may kill the whole thing. I think it would be very important to give this a high priority. Do you have a feeling/ideas/plans for this? > > Ivan > > > [1] http://www.w3.org/2011/rdfa-context/rdfa-1.1.html > [2] http://www.w3.org/2010/02/rdfa/profile/data/ > > On Mar 1, 2013, at 16:44 , Ivan Herman <ivan@w3.org> wrote: > >> Sandro produced a new version after a fairly extensive re-write: >> >> https://www.w3.org/2013/02/vrc.html >> >> this reflects the many discussions that we had in the past days/weeks. >> >> I am sure there are further comments on the document; I actually have some, too, that I will send through an answer to this mail to have a proper threaded archives. However, I personally believe (and I think so does Sandro) that the document is good enough to be shared with our closest friends already; the plan is to share it, on the week end, with Tom Baker and Dan Brickley, and to put it on the agenda of the Semantic Web Coordination Group (next Wednesday). >> >> Ivan >> >> ---- >> Ivan Herman, W3C Semantic Web Activity Lead >> Home: http://www.w3.org/People/Ivan/ >> mobile: +31-641044153 >> FOAF: http://www.ivan-herman.net/foaf.rdf >> >> >> >> >> >> > > > ---- > Ivan Herman, W3C Semantic Web Activity Lead > Home: http://www.w3.org/People/Ivan/ > mobile: +31-641044153 > FOAF: http://www.ivan-herman.net/foaf.rdf > > > > > > ---- Ivan Herman, W3C Semantic Web Activity Lead Home: http://www.w3.org/People/Ivan/ mobile: +31-641044153 FOAF: http://www.ivan-herman.net/foaf.rdf
