Re: RDFWiki

Sean,

For those of you who don't frequent the RDF IG\IRC Chat room\wiki at
    http://rdfig.xmlhack.com/index.html
sample RDFWiki(s) have been installed at a couple of places:
     http://208.190.202.58/cgi-bin/rdfwiki?RdfWiki
     http://swag.webns.net/rdfwiki

Anyway I think this is a promising development, but it needs more to be
functionalit before its useful  ...  here is my wish list:

Wish List:
* Ability to make any clause surrounded by parenthesis a WikiName
* Ability to easily make a new arc label
* Ability to read RDF\N3\N-Triples -
- because adding triples by hand is always going to be too tedious
* Some way of easily making new nodes
* A pull down selection list for Arcs
- generated automatically from any node referenced from an arc
* Integration with the [metadata for this page] button
- see http://infomesh.net/2001/08/rdfinxhtml/test.html
- with the button put on any page going to a search function that finds the
human readable page in the RDFWiki
* An index button on every node that lists the triples which refer to it
* Ability to revise triples
