It would seem that RDF and the Creative Commons plugin would be very related to what you're doing. I'm curious if you've given RDF consideration in this and how that would factor into it?


No I haven't considered RDF because what I'm trying to specify follows a very simple model:

Documents that make distinct human readable statements and allow a limited classification inside the documents, by following document schemes, and a good classification outside, by following inheritance trees of derived documents.

There is no meta language (in my current specification) describing aspects of the content of the documents and I cannot see an advantage in trying to describe
ethics in a computer readable format.


Maybe I didn't understand why you suggest to use RDF?

I must be misunderstanding then. The website you linked to had this: http://www.nongnu.org/esp/#XML_Examples - so I presumed some machine readable thing going on under the covers.

You also mentioned the analogy to Java classes and interfaces, which is something RDF represents as well.

Creative commons is only related to my project in that creative commons licenses could be an intersting search criteria. Web services that offer content under creative commons could, for example, advertise an ethical policy that guarantees all content to be available under creative commons licenses.

What use of the Creative Commons plugin where you suggesting specifically?

I mentioned CC because it parses embedded RDF data that is making a statement about the resources available from that page. I thought the connection between making statements about ethics could be made similarly.

Apparently I'm missing the idea of what you're doing with Nutch and how you are representing ethical policies.
