DISQUS

Wow, this is total horse shit. How did such a false story get on Memorandum?

Some of the strategies to prove your an adult on the Internet make sense. For example kids don't have credit cards. But how do you prove your a kid? I guess you could have a proven adult sign you up. Err ...then that very adult cannot come into the space. So the space is supposed to be a safe place where predators can't get at your children .... Not! Where do they get these unenforceable rules?

Lot's of techie stuff on my blog. Just click on some geeky tags.

Just practicing in the funnypages

I think your on to something here :) Any identifier, and i don't care how global it is in scope, gets its meaning from the context of it's use. That's why the triple was a bad choice for the Semantic Web. You will get better results by including a context identifier with the assertion. Check out my suggestion for Quads.

I tag because it weaves the items in my memory together. It has become an essential step in remembering things. Since fastblogit opened last August we have created over 2835 items. Now how are you gonna remember all of those without tagging them?

Exactly ! I added you to the growing list of blogs who finally "get" it. See http://fastblogit.com/permalink/?item=2620 Incidentally you don't even need to say RSS after the orange button, just the word FEED, and soon that won't be necessary. Remember when you discovered the Internte and started seeing strings with @ in them? After you "got it" did you need people to tell you that they were email addresses ? It is time the blogosphere grew up and stopped being so gooky about feeds.

I think the only way to "disambiguate" a string is to do it in some context. Keep the context, and you keep the identity. After you loose the context, to try to recover it by logical means is, imho, going to be a loosing proposition. This is why quads (context,subject,verb,object see the url in website of this comment) is a far better structure than just triples.

The formal logic which has been specified in the RDF semantics only works where identity is not sensitive to context. But identity is always sensitive to context. The W3C cannot legislate that away by writing specifications. I'm thinking that Semantic Web enthuiasts will slowly recognize that a strong logic, requiring the excluded middle, will never work on a global world scale. Oh well ...

Also, imho, a subgraph ("context") should be related to another graph (perhaps one that subsumes it) by an arrow. A triple can exist in as many graphs as is desired.

You might be interested in the way i "mentograph" quads. Also there is a language for this called Semenglish which is similar to your tag quads. I think if i was doing this again, i would put URI inside angeled braces and just quote tags that contain spaces. That is the simplest grammar.
