HM.Requirements: HumanProof

[Ranjeeth Kumar Thunga <rkthunga@humanmarkup.org>]

 

 

----------------------------
Based on Sean's SW article (which was very clear and insighful),

http://infomesh.net/2001/swintro/
     - The Semantic Web: An Introduction

 SW architecture provides us a means to determine trust and proof  of information through resources on the Internet, through namespaces. 

 

However, I don't believe there is a mechanism to verify the proof of information through human consultation.  The obvious problem, as Len brought up in previous posts, is that human beings do not have a URI...only information associated with them does.  Thus, part of HumanMarkup specifications would have to include a manner in which human beings can be contacted regarding verfication of a message regarding them.

 

Simple Example:  If I am assumed/accused of being a trerrorist, I would like the chance to _personally and immediately_ provide evidence/proof/statements directly to the effect countering such claims.  Obviously, that would entail the message being routed to my proximity/location/wirelessdevice.

 

Referesher--is it PP/CP the technology I am thinking about that might be related, to describe the different devces that might be able to determine the appropriate medium through which a message is sent/received by a person?

 

HM.Requirments:  human proof

---------------

"HumanMarkup specifications could account for specifications to allow human beings to prove data regarding themselves. "

 

Logistically, this would be difficult except in localized environments anytime soon, but as a thought process I think it is important to keep in mind in the long term.
