<SNIP>
I think It would be easier to reach an agreement if the solution would
allow for different levels of detail, both during the creation of
knowledge and during understanding. RDF has been created exactly for
this purpose.


I think this might be a good idea. So we have Xesam Core- and Xesam Extended
ontologies.

Here's a brain dump for what it's worth....

The core ontology would not have a concept of Categories - in the sense that
categories defines a set of fields to expect on the object. Any old object
only has a core set of fields defined. These could be (all in xesam
namesapced):

* contributor (DC)
* creator (DC)
* description (DC)
* language (DC)
* publisher (DC)
* subject (DC)
* title (DC)
* license (an extensible vocabulary with predefined values GPL, LPGL, MIT
etc)
* uri
* category (a controled vocabulary that maps to the cats in the extended
onto)
* mime
* creationDate
* modificationDate


With this simple onto you can actually do quite a bit of nifty stuff. With
this in place it might also be easier to agree on extended ontology as
Antoni already suggested.


Cheers,
Mikkel
