Hi Everyone, Maybe this is a bit early for these discussions, but what the hey: In the esteemed opions of this lists members, would it be possible to adapt Amaya for the Semantic Web, e.g. to create SDF documents [1]? This would make an Amaya variant the first SW, WYSIWYG editor. It may seem a bit complicated, but it's not really, once you get into it. Really, we use a subset of HTML, using minimalistic tags (about 15-25), and then fill it with our own semantic content, based on pre-authored rules (regex etc.). Can anyone help (&/or provide discussion)? [1] SDF - Semantic Document Framework: The essence of SDF is this:- 1. Provide a backbone namespce for SDF that uses (HTML) display tags. 2. Fill this framework with your own, Schema described content, dynamic and logical (using RDF/XML Schemas/RDF Schemas) a. Dynamic becuase you make it up: generate on the fly b. Logical because to work it would require logic rules An SDF editor would have to eventually be able to this: [[[ Then, if it hadn't already been recognized by the editor, you'd tell it that the quote was about the weather, and it would automatically link to your namespace, then you'd select the important parts: date, temp and location, and tell the editor what they are: (except your editor alrady recognizes them because it has alrady consulted your namespace, and searched the SW for key phrases, highlighted them, and maked them up accordingly). ]]] or use a rule based mechanism for doing so. The goals of SDF are: 1. Produce a fully Semantic document medium, based on current XML related UI technologies, that can be easily converted using XSLT into RDF. 2. Produce a framework for extending and subsetting this medium, so that it may be fully machine processable, as well as being a human readable output. 3. Make the framework technology independent, so that when RDF/XML etc. are past their sell by dates, the method still remains.
