Which one? 1. http://www.w3.org/PICS/ (for content), is it still in use? It sounds like ICRA (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Content_Rating_Association ) abandoned it and went to a meta tag approach, maybe <meta name="RATING" content="RTA-5042-1996-1400-1577-RTA"> or <link rel="meta" href="http://www.playboy.com/labels.rdf"; type="application/rdf+xml" title="ICRA labels" /> 2. http://www.w3.org/P3P/ (for privacy) never really got much traction, I thought some sites revealed P3P policy and browsers could use this to block them, but I have no idea if sites and browsers do anything with it. 3. It seems that the Browse activity doesn't use the anti-phishing that Firefox 3 uses, it'll willingly visit http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/its-a-trap.html (demo) http://www.urasoudan.com/bbslog/www_smile_co_uk_security_update_online_instant_message/index.html (Heh, Google Chrome doesn't even know the latter is a phishing site, I thought Google provided the blacklist to Mozilla.) 4. There's some interesting discussion about the MediaWiki interwiki list, the thing that lets a wiki page link to e.g. [[meta:Vision]] instead of [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Vision]. It's turning into a "We trust these wikis to avoid spam and monitor links" white list. 5. Any system for reputation is immediately seized upon by spammers :-( We've had the tools to say exactly what a site or page is about (<meta keywords, <meta description) long before Sir Tim's semantic web, but nobody trusts them because they're gleefully abused. I'm sorry that I'm rambling, -- =S user:skierpage _______________________________________________ Library mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/library
