Alex, Jack and all
Speaking of Semantic Community Web ...
Jack and other people on this forum keep feeding the list with very relevant
links.
This feeding is indeed one of my main sources to augment the semantopic data
base.
For those who wouldn't know yet about it, see www.universimmedia.com
For example, DAML and Frank van Hermelen have been included for a while
respectively at
http://mondeca-publishing.com/s/anonymous/title10122.html
http://mondeca-publishing.com/s/anonymous/title11111.html
I've not included yet Alex and TouchGraph, but will do it ASAP. I've played
with TouchGraph and really like it!
One thing I wonder is why people there would not like to add direcly their
resources to this data base, since semantopic is an open collaborative
project, and in fact, it's thought from the beginning to be kind of Semantic
Community Web Index (if not Portal)
A resource included in the semantopic map is linked to relative resources,
and makes much more sense there than simply included in a message soon
buried deep in a forum archives if you did not bookmark properly!
Getting an user login is easy. Just contact me. Before the end of the month,
we'll have a new user interface, much more friendly and easy to use. Hope
that will help collaborators to step in.
About below quotation by Jack. I feel completely tuned with the notion
developed by many people lately that we have a kind of equivalence "web
community" <=> "collaborative ontology".
That reminds me, Jack, the "famous" debate where we met one year ago on the
topicmap mailing list.
http://www.infoloom.com/pipermail/topicmapmail/2000q3/000085.html and
following thread. Still relevant IMO.
And from recent exchanges here and there, I would add now "semantic web" to
that equivalence list. Meaning there will be as many "semantic webs" as "web
communities" and matching "collaborative ontologies". Of course communities
and ontologies overlap, since every one of us belongs to many communities
(familial, regional, professional, technical, business, market, cultural,
interest, ... )
Bottom line :
Binding separately developed but overlapping ontologies will need
non-ambiguous stable binding points. Topic Maps people call that Published
Subject Indicators. In the frame of new TopicMaps.Org organization in OASIS,
a Technical Committee on Published Subjects is presently in the process of
approval. As soon as all that is official (should be one or two weeks from
now), I'll make an announcement here.
You can see the draft charter for this committee at
