Hi Everyone, All these discussions are nice, but the most common question is "What can *I* do?" That's a very good question: what can we all do to contribute to the SW, other than just discussing it? So, I prepared this little list...I'll put a little brownie points system in, which is just my opinion of how useful each point is... 1. Write some RDF! Simply do a summary of your XHTML pages, and include it either in the file (using my XHTML module if you want), or link to it using the profile section in <head>: [...] <head profile="http://my.com/rdf.xml"> [...] <browniepoints total="3"/> 2. Put Dublin Core meta statements in the <head> of your documents: see http://www.ned.dem.csiro.au/metadata/qdchtml/REC-QDCHTML-20000504.html <browniepoints total="1"/> 3. Write a semantic XHTML module (not that hard) <browniepoints total="5"/> 4. Write an XML Schema for Dublin Core. <browniepoints total="5"/> 5. Make a site that has a site search engine that searches RDF summaries of your pages rather than the pages themselves. <browniepoints total="8"/> 6. Create an incoming POP3 script to strip RDF statements from incoming mail, and process them: Semantic Mail! <browniepoints total="7"/> 7. Create a WYSIWYG editor for RDF <browniepoints total="9"/> 8. Create a WYSIWYG editor for the Semantic Web: using SDF or something similar. <browniepoints total="25"/> It must be able to: After telling it a statement's purpose: recognize keywords by consulting a namespace, search the SW for key phrases, highlight them, and mark the text up semantically, accordingly. 9. Write an RDF subset language to descibe [insert your line of work here!]. <browniepoints total="8"/> 10. Endlessly bug large search engines telling them to support RDF. <browniepoints total="9"/> 11. Endlessly bug large large commerce telling them to support RDF, and even better, a Semantic server. <browniepoints total="20"/> <= if you succeed! 12. Create a Semantic portal. <browniepoints total="12"/> 13. Create a Semantic server. <browniepoints total="15"/> 14. Sucessfully petition Tim BL fore more SW whitepapers. <browniepoints total="10"/> 15. Write lists of stuff for people to do...hang on, I've already done that. How about: "extend this list" (but that's cheating!). <browniepoints total="1"/> Now you have no excuse not to do something constructive... BTW: totting up my marks, I've scored only 9 brownie points. Guess I'd better get working on #8. then. Kindest Regards, Sean B.
