Semantic web from on high
Eric Hanson posted this brief overview of the Semantic Web. Excellent piece; it makes the Semantic Web simple, which it really is, at the bottom. One of the things that makes the Semantic Web seem complex is that RDF, its "language", is defined in not one but two specification documents, the Model and Syntax spec and the RDF Schema spec. Each spec is harder to follow than it should be because essential information is contained in the other. Instead of reading one, then the other, you really have to read them at the same time, sort of.
But imagine this: think about a set of blogs that use the Semantic Web approach.

Radio and RDF
Tomorrow morning I present my proposal for a knowledge management and collaboration system based on Radio, Radio Community Server (RCS), and RDF (a Semantic Web technology). I think this has great potential. There are only a couple of key problems to solve, since Radio and RCS take care of everything else. The toughest problem is in the organizational behavior arena; how do you convince people to use blogging tools in a work environment? Years ago I was a consultant to large insurance companies, and some of what we did fell into the organizational behavior realm; it's not easy to get people to use new things, especially when you don't have the desire or ability to order them around.

I've set up six categories, but I'd like to use a richer ontology of metadata to talk about what I'm talking about. This will be quite the work in progress; developing an ontology is not necessarily trivial, and I'm interested enough in it that I know I'll be poking around in all the dark little corners I find. The more fun I'm having, the slower I go. As Dorothy Parker said, "Curiousity is the cure for boredom. There is no cure for curiousity."
