Subject: Re: [tm-pubsubj-comment] Supporting the semantic web



* Eric Miller
| 
| To clarify this a bit... my assertion is that the adoption and use
| of of published subject identifiers is a in part a matter of the
| social and organizational commitments associated with making these
| identifiers available and persistent.

Like Bernard I think we are all in agreement on this.

| Technical solutions that facilitate the naming of these subjects
| independent of their location facilitate this persistence
| (e.g. PURLs http://purl.org/) but the biggest problems are not
| technical.

Again I agree.
 
| I think if this group could help craft such a persistence policy for
| others to support this would be a important step.  I'm thinking
| something similar to http://www.w3.org/Consortium/Persistence and
| http://www.w3.org/1999/10/nsuri but tailored to the specifics of
| this groups needs.  

I like the idea of doing something like this. Bernard, why don't we
add this as a numbered issue in the issues document, so that we can
get back to it when we have covered the more basic stuff?
 
| Regarding (2) I also have a bias (hah you thought I was going to say
| RDF didn't you :), 

I did, actually. :)

| the bias is for something that works for as many communities as
| possible that wants to take advantage of these controlled
| vocabularies (sorry... the term Public Subjects to me is a bit of a
| misnomer).

As Bernard says controlled vocabularies and PSI sets are really
different things. A PSI set is conceptually nothing more or less than
a set of URIs (with documentation) published with the intention that
others can use those URIs as names for a set of abstract concepts.
In that sense RDF Schema is a kind of PSI set, really.

You may find Steve Pepper's example PSI set helpful:

| I'll send some additional specifics associated with (2) in a follow
| up message...

That would be good. I think this is the key issue for us to reach
agreement on.
