The model of content aggregation has changed dramatically over the past few years. From centralized news gathering on Web portals, we're moving to a flexible, decentralized model open to alternative forms of content. In my own work, I keep up with many Weblog writers whose commentary often rivals more conventional sources in quality and isn't tamed by corporate constraints.
But I want to mix those insights with solid reporting from the wire services and industry publications. I'm after the kind of overview that comes from seeing how a wide variety of sources interpret the same facts. That's hard to achieve online, but RSS software filters out the noise, making it a serious option for Net-minded newshounds.
I do think there is a way to entice large numbers of people to provide some metadata for their pages. Have Google announce that it will now enable searches on a minimal set of metadata such as the Dublin Core that provides the basic tags most people would find useful. If people knew that this would make it much easier for people to find their pages, they'd probably do it. Thus, we could get a limited set of smarts into the data that would make much of life on the Web easier, although the semantics would be limited to pretty much what is on your dog's license tag. This isn't the type of smarts TBL has in mind.
Instead of asking machines to understand people's language, it involves asking people to make the extra effortThe analogy with grammar and orthograph is clear: I make the extra effort to have a correct and coherent syntax so I can get understood the way I intended it. Sure broken tagz And. no metadata iz, one way Too do w'eb pagiz !?. Ju5+ L1k3 I k4|\| +4Lk z3 1337 //4'/. I can also try to have correct spelling, valid markup and a coherent text structure.
The word METADATA® was registered in 1986 as a trademark (U.S. Trademark Registration No. 1,409,206) belonging to The Metadata Company. The trademark was granted "incontestable" status in 1991. Metadata is a proprietary mark which stands for The Metadata Company. For this reason our application of this architecture is sometimes referred to as META data.
[Gary Robinson] thinks the Internet will enable those old-time radio DJ's to be replaced by individuals who are doing something a lot like blogging and who supply music recommendations and/or audio streams as part of what they do. If the blog posts were audio, then they would be doing exactly the same thing those DJ's did. If written, they are blogging.And the obvious audio illustration

In the slums, too, people assume that armed conflict is coming and that the enemy is better prepared. I have a 24-inch TV, says the leader of one pro-Chavez community organisation in western Caracas, and if I can sell it to buy a pistol, I will. Both sides argue that the other has nothing to lose. The middle class is risking nothing, the community leader says. They hire people to fight and die for them.
