To pick up on this topic, Mike, could you clarify then what you have in mind when you think of a "wiki page"? Is it just a place to hold an exchange of information (analogous to a "thread" in a forum)? If so, what does it mean to attach an attribution (a triple) to this page - should I interpret that all triples have the page as subject, which is a resource in some sense, and the meaning is whatever you assign to these triples? Is it supposed to encapsulate some kind of concept or set of concepts - then the triples be interpreted as statements about these concepts? Must it be in some sense "self-contained" - relative to some discourse, or relative to some conceptualization schema? I'd be very interested in knowing more the requirements (and scenarios) you seem to have in mind when you state that "that's why I stopped trying to use the tool"... what kind of applicaton do you need?
