Special Interest Metadata
Distributed metadata models are
adding knowledge base and symbolic logic programming on
Internet-wide scales. Two popular Java containers are:
The RDF and XTM standards are complementary, and will
probably unify around
OWL definitions. Both metadata forms are web-portable
and (unlike other persistent data) arbitrarily "mergeable"
when serialized into XML.
This project will compare both metadata forms as storage
and query models for "special interests" among VTS groups and
users, involving the open set of standards, tools, products,
and other vocabulary terms that relate to any specific core
Topic (such as Java terms, our first planned test case).
To join a truly cutting edge
MJP/VTS project, or to start up a similar knowledge
base on another technology (.Net?), see Dan Corwin,
project leader.
