i would go. the program sounds interesting. also some new news from the topic map front: ontopoly. not that i am a great believer in merging and ontologies, but their work is worth a try.

on a russion server a guy named guy murphy tries to connect wiki, weblog and topic maps. so all fancy names would be together if if ... mobile agents, that's fancy too, no? well, i didn't say anything, did i?

Wikis and blogs have been so massively popular that it's almost unthinkable for anybody with an interest in the Web to ignore them. What I am interested in is ways in which wikis and blogs can be made scalable and managable, without loosing that which makes them so effective.

want to know more about dublin core metadata. so far i was told it is only a metadata expression, not an ontology. aha. let's see what others have to say. but for sure i agree with the following, mr altheim:

"I don't believe in global ontologies. They'd be bad for the blood, bad for mental diversity, bad for thinking, just bad to the bone. Now that doesn't mean I'm down on ontologies in general. I'm all for grass roots, people-created, disagree'in, confused and impossible-to-merge ontologies, which, like it or not, are what we're going to get *anyway*. Ontologies are by nature local, personal, time-, context- and domain-specific. Our vision of the world is not static, nor formed from one person's (or one group's) mind." (Murray Altheim)
