Abstract from downloadable PDF: Data on the Semantic Web is semi-structured and does not follow one fixed schema. Faceted browsing is a natural technique for navigating such data, partitioning the information space into orthogonal conceptual dimensions.
The Semantic Web is expected to provide more benefits to software engineering. Over the past five years there have been a number of attempts to bring together languages and tools, such as the UML, developed for Software Engineering with Semantic Web langu
Offering our attention data in a futures market would look like this. Companies would pay now for access later to attention data from people who intend to buy a compact car in California, or who are outdoor recreation enthusiasts with a certain income lev
wOW! Search on 'metabolic AND syndrome' came up at zero, but shifting to 'metabolic,' I got SKILLIONS of articles related to "metabolic syndrome." GOOD ones!
This article outlines the process involved in transforming the del.icio.us user API XML document into an HTML fragment. Because the XSLT processor is compiled, and therefore runs significantly faster than interpreted Javascript in the browser, I push as m
“Are you my friend? Yes or no?” This question, while fundamentally odd, is a key component of social network sites. Participants must select who on the system they deem to be ‘Friends.’ Their choice is publicly displayed for all to see and becomes
Google Web Toolkit (GWT) is an open source Java software development framework that makes writing AJAX applications like Google Maps and Gmail easy for developers who don't speak browser quirks as a second language. Writing dynamic web applications today
"Using Flash as the engine, Goowy (a play on GUI, get it?) pretends to be a desktop OS. There's a little "dock" at the bottom (apps even bounce as they "launch"). There's a moderately decent little RSS app, pictured above. You have stickies, a calendar, e
Some folks want to create authoritative sources so that they don’t have to think about things…don’t have to consider the source and the context of life. Down with Wikipedia because it’s not authoritative! Down with Digg because it is gamed! Down w
The hacker mind-set is not confined to this software-hacker culture. There are people who apply the hacker attitude to other things, like electronics or music — actually, you can find it at the highest levels of any science or art. Software hackers reco
We need solutions that can help the many people whose terms and vocabulary are left out of the taxonomy... The simple idea that people’s actions model meaning better than a directory (even a flexible directory) is a critical step forward in thinking ab
Clickable article giving an overview of history, distinctions and definitions, potential uses, current manifestations, and permutations of this thing called (conveniently, but not accurately) 'Web 2.0.'

It’s now only a few days until 2007, and a good time for the yearly prediction posts to start rolling out - including one from Mashable. To add a more interesting spin, we’ll throw in a mini-game of blog tag - a few people “tagged” at the end of t

some time now, I’ve wanted to increase my understanding of microformats. If you’re unfamilar with the term or want to understand the basic purpose of this technology better, I suggest reading Phil Windley’s Microformats: Paving the Cowpaths. I read
Technorati has been a strong supporter of open microformats standards for quite some time. We launched the first implementation that indexes and searches posts tagged with rel-tag. We support XOXO for lists and outlines throughout the site, our member's f
microformats are, just as importantly, defined by what they are not: not a new language; not infinitely extensible and open-ended; not an attempt to get everyone to change their behavior and rewrite their tools; not a whole new approach that throw
