O is for Ontology
As I specifically invoked the lazyweb when talking about FOAP, it looks like I'm going to have to reach for the other rule of the Internet, and JFDI.
So I've been reading a lot about RDF. And vocabularies. And ontologies. Blimey. There's a lot of work out there already. Pity no one told the rest of us.
I'm in deadline hell until Christmas, so whilst you tuck into a turkey dinner I'll be slaving over a hot XML document. For fun. Bah!
Many thanks to Jo, and Earle - spacenamespace is very similar in idea to FOAP. I hope we'll work together on this. I'm more of a hand-wavy planner rather than a programmer these days, so it'll be nice to have other people tell me when I'm talking bull. If anyone wants to get involved, please leave a comment after the tone.
If anyone who understands all this can reply: what's the difference between DAML+OIL and OWL? Are they backward (and sideways) compatible?
