Kingsley,

Hold on I don't get it. We're talking about the entry-point for Linked Data information, which is linkeddata.org <http://linkeddata.org>

Do am I. That's a data space on the Web. Ideally, it should exemplify the "deceptive simplicity" of Linked Data.

It should be a place where resources are created, edited, and deleted using the file create, save, and share pattern.

It's most basic front door should look like the file manager view on your desktop [1].

Different identities will have different privileges with regards to document creation, editing, and deletion.

All documents created in this data space would bear Linked Data based content, of course some of this could be coarse and in other cases fine-grained, it doesn't really matter.

Of course then we will link to other resources and sites (just as the site is doing now). I'm not sure exactly what you're referring to.

What problem are you trying to solve exactly?

Using Linked Data to bring linkeddata.org back to life.

We're simply trying to make linkeddata.org <http://linkeddata.org> more open and accessible.

And nothing I am suggesting is contrary to that goal.

    Hi Tom,

    Yes I have been discussing with Stéphane as well. Hopefully we
    can get things going.

    About the willingness to participate, if we make the system open
    enough (but with spam control) then we really don't need to be
    setting goals about the community's willingness to participate.
    It will create a spontaneous collaborative environment.

    That's why I favor a wiki system. But Drupal works very similarly
    to wikis, right? So no need to change the technology. Just more
    open and user-friendly signup system is enough for now.

    All,

    Circa. 2013 we have Web Access Controls and verifiable Identity
    that scales to the Web. Basically, these are applications of the
    very technology we are encouraging the world to explore and
    implement. If we don't use these technologies ourselves why should
    be in any position to ask others to use this technology.

    Here's what we have:

    1. WebID -- HTTP URI that denotes Agents

    2. WebID Profile Document -- the content of this document
    describes an entity denoted by a WebID

    3. An X.509 Certificate that includes a WebID in its Subject
    Alternative Name slot -- this is for all intents and purposes a
    local profile graph installed to a secure location on your
    machine, alongside an associated private key that's paired with
    said certificate's public key

    4. WebID+TLS -- uses RDF based entity relationship semantics and
    PKI to authenticate a WebID

    5. Web Access Control Ontology -- describes resource access controls.

    How do you make it work hassle free?

    1. Get a WebID from an WebID Identity Provider -- there are
    several (a WebID supporting IdP will take the tedium out of steps
    1-4 above)
    2. Use a content management system that supports resource access
    controls based on the combined use of a WebID and the Web Access
    Control Ontology -- there are a number of these around.

    Tom: you know how to get a hold of me, so lets get this domain
    back to what we aspired it would be circa. 2007 in Banff :-)

        Hi Yury, Luca, all,

        There's a separate, off-list thread going on at the moment with
        Stéphane Corlosquet, who has offered to help maintain the
        site (and
        now has admin rights) -- thanks Stéphane!

        You're right, the site is very stale. As I've said many times
        before,
        I'm open to any suggestions about how to use the domain for the
        greatest benefit of the community. So, all ideas welcomed,
        though they
        have to include a willingness to participate and a plan for
        how to
        actually get the work done on an ongoing basis. As history
        shows I'm
        too busy right now to participate regularly :(

        Cheers,

        Tom.
