Tidepool
Recently, Immuexa finished off
Tidepool and Storymill, their photo management and sharing applications. I realised I've not blogged about Tidepool, and it's worth a mention — if you want a smarter way to manage photographs, linking them to people, places, events, and so on, then have a look.

Namber
Flying memes ahoy!
holygoat.co.uk's
namber is
drum.give.drum.mouse. Intriguing. My personal IP is cool, but I'm not giving that out!

Most awesome question ever
How many 5 year-olds could you take on at once? Currently standing at 20 pages of posts.
I'd probably reckon around 40. Certainly one to think about, just in case. Now, what if you had one weapon, such as a katana or a paintball gun?
The
MetaFilter thread is hilarious.

I've just started a little flurry of activity on the
semantic-web@w3.org list regarding tags. I'm after an ontology for tagging (as demonstrated by
del.icio.us). So, I
sent in a query, and followed it up with an
ontology and an RFC.
Seth Russell suggested support for synsets, as in
WordNet.
Danny pointed us to
SKOS, which I've seen before but never examined closely. This should deal with synsets and taxonomic relationships quite neatly. Furthermore, Danny waxed lyrical about an
awesome WordPress plugin (developed by
Morten Frederiksen) that automatically produces a personal SKOS concept scheme from
WordPress categories. That produced quite a bit of inspiration!
Timothy Falconer pointed out how
Storymill and
Tidepool use tags, particularly their
Mu schema.
Finally, Marja Koivunen linked to
Ubimarks for Mozilla (related to the
Annotea project), and Annotea's topics.
I still need to work a lot of this stuff in, but the preliminary ontology is
here in RDF/XML (
Notation3 version). I'll be trying to expand and integrate this stuff, particularly with Marja's stuff and SKOS. I also need to give Mu a good look.
Then
Phil Dawes posted about
tagtriples (
Sourceforge page). That's another can of worms…!
I think this is the most heavily-linked post in my blogging history!
In other news, this site is #1 on Google for
Richard Newman (no quotes). On Google UK, from my search bar,
Disconnected Urbanism, a post from January 2004, somehow comes in second. I've clearly had a big jump in my PageRank recently. It's funny how I never noticed the “Richard Newman Primary School” in Barnsley, South Yorkshire before now!

Ha ha
My supervisor just rushed past in the corridor. “You'll love this,” he said, “I'm late for a time management meeting.”
