What is a Name, an Address, an Author, a Document ?
What do they mean, to you, to me, to the Inland Revenue, to
Customs and Excise, to your customers, to your suppliers ?
- Simple things first
- sitemaps, news channel syndication
- thesauri, classification, topic maps
- calandaring, scheduling, collaboration
- annotations, quality ratings, shared bookmarks
- dublin core for simple resource discovery
- web service description and discovery
- peer to peer (napster, gnutella etc.) & rights
management
...and mixing all these together
- Getting more ambitious:
- extending RSS newsfeeds using XML namespaces
- Simple reasoning (ontologies, thesauri)
- digital signatures (trust, provenance)
- scalability issues
- user interface challenges
...and mixing all these together
