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 Seth Russell ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sean B.
