[WSG] Bristol Knowledge Unconference

2008-07-23 Thread Daniel Lewis
Hello WSG readers,

This is for the attention of those in the UK, particularly those in
the South-West (or who want to travel to Bristol).

I'm organising an Unconference in Bristol about Knowledge, cleverly
called "Bristol Knowledge Unconference".
It will be on Friday 5th September 2008 between 14:00 and 18:00, on
Wine Street in Bristol City Centre (UK).

Details and signup can be found at:
http://knowledgeunconference.eventwax.com/bristol-knowledge-unconference

Presentation and Discussion topics include:
* Knowledge Representation, Storage, Manipulation, Sharing, Management
and Visualisation
** The Semantic Web and Linked Data (including RDF, RDFa and Microformats)
** Topic Maps
* Representing Knowledge for Search Engine Optimisation (including POSH)
* KnowledgePortability (similar to DataPortability, but in a more
context-friendly way)

If you have any questions then please do fire them in my direction,
I'm more than happy to help.
I look forward to seeing some of you there!

Cheers,

Daniel

Re: [WSG] Select for menus

Hi Maurinerd,

yes, it is for unifei (Universidade Federal de Itajubá ;D)

Hi Stuart,

Thank you, I will try this, but I'll try another word instead of "go",
because i've to use portuguese (something like "go to" because in
portuguese "go" haven't the meaning of "enter" the site).

TAGC means the "tag close" character, which is >
The S Separator is the "whitespace separator", meaning e.g. SPACE or line break.

I googled, found lots of folk failing to add descriptors to a

S is "whitespace" separator

[5] s =

SPACE | (32) space
RE | (13) CR
RS | (10) LF
SEPCHAR (9) HT

[WSG] S separators and TACG

2008-07-23 Thread Designer
I've been examining what happens if you put something inside an end tag, 
such as .  The validator says:


"name start character invalid: only S separators and TAGC allowed here."

I googled, found lots of folk failing to add descriptors to a closing 
div, but NOBODY explained what those terms mean.  ('S separators' and 
TAGC).  If they are allowed, what are they?  :-)


Anyone?

Thanks,

Bob

Re: [WSG] iphone should not be part of your url

2008-07-23 Thread Robert O'Rourke
Incase it hasn't come up yet the reason for doing this is pretty 
straight forward. You might want to serve up the same content but with a 
BIG reduction in the amount of markup used and smaller image files. 
Bandwidth costs money on a mobile and your users will appreciate the 
reduced costs and download times when browsing your site. Having said 
that it's only really an issue for content and markup heavy sites such 
as facebook.


Rob
