DBin is general purpose Semantic Web application that enables power users (domain experts) to create "discussion groups" where users annotate any subject of interest (from "beers" as in our example to anything really). At low level, these annotatins are e

Machines (or machine-based reasoning, aka 'AI software' or ‘info agents’) would then be able to use those laboriously –but not entirely manually– constructed ontologies to build a view (or formal model) of how the individual terms within the infor
