HM.applications-Profiling-Level of Details/Abstraction

[Rex Brooks <rexb@starbourne.com>]

Hi Everyone,

A quickie: We've already had quite a bit of work done here on 
Profiling, and since that thread is fairly easy to get hold of for 
our core topics purposes, I won't start from scratch on it.

So, given what we have already said, and given that we have an actual 
functional beginning in the Schema Toolkit, I would like to see what 
folks think about establishing Levels of Details or Abstraction for 
Human Object Profiles. We have a range of applications from 
automatically filling out forms, to archiving all kinds of 
demographic behavior, to simply providing a list of individual 
interests. Some of these ought to be publically available to have a 
sensible set of databases instead of a collection of battling mailing 
lists, some ought to be completely private.

How do we provide for this in a sensible way. Be aware that this is 
fraught with pitfalls.

Ciao,
Rex
