Wow! Interesting resource. It seems to me that the "semantic web" has been pretty slow in coming, especially seeing its champion is Tim Berners-Lee, the "inventor" of the web! Instead we've got simpler inroads like tagging that offer some sort of increased meaning, but nothing like what I understood the semantic web to be all about.
BTW: TBL wrote this last year: A Framework for Web Science http://tinyurl.com/38btvv .. which fortunately is available as a pdf: http://www.nowpublishers.com/getpdf.aspx?doi=1800000001&product=WEB -- Owen [EMAIL PROTECTED] Beer is proof that God loves us, and wants us to be happy.
