Subject: [xtm-wg] Re: XTM tag line
A lot of ideas for the tagline have come out of xtm-wg@egroups.com and I sumarize what I have so far from Paul Conn, Dave Pawson, Jim Farrugia, Michel Biezunski, Steve Newcomb. I think the egroups poll in the Marketing Committee should be rather short, so I propose that we only include suggestions that have been "s e c o n d e d", that is, at least one person besides the suggestor likes it, wants it to be included in the poll. So far two meet this test: "Untangling the Web", "Weaving the Web", both by Dave Pawson. It would also be good if a poll took place at xtm-wg@egroups.com Could we have all suggestions and seconds sent in by Monday, 2:00pm US Eastern Time, the poll set up promptly, and voting completed by Tuesday, 11:00am US Eastern Time? So far we have: Candidates: *) Untangling the Web *) Weaving the Web _________________________ Suggestions, need to be seconded: *) StyleSheets for Knowledge *) XTM - Put the semantics into the web. *) Map Your Meaning, Share It With Others, Integrate Your World *) Meaningful Links and Sensible Pointers *) Making The Web Mean Something *) Navigate Web Topics Meaningfully *) A Simple, Flexible Model That Allows Meaningful Browsing/Navigating/Searching/Querying of Web-based Information. *) Knowledge Maps for Everyone *) Put Meaning In, Get Knowledge Out *) Just Add Meaning *) Map Your Meaning and Share Your Map *) Show Me Your Map, That I May Understand You *) Semantics In, Precision Out *) Meaningful Links Allow Efficient, Precise Searching *) Stir In Meaning, Undangle Pointers, and Presto *) Enabling global knowledge connectivity *) The Meaningful Web *) Enabling Subject-based Collaborative Commerce *) Collaborative Corporate Memory, Anyone? *) Making the other 90% of corporate information findable *) The Haystacks Disappear, The Needles Remain *) 7 search hits are interesting, 7,000 are not *) Industrial-strength Findability *) Many languages, One combinable finding resource *) 'way, 'way beyond full text searching *) subject-based power to exploit information assets *) Making irrelevant information disappear. Yours, Andrius Andrius Kulikauskas XTM Marketing Committee member Some comments from letters: Eric Freese: I'm not sure "Style Sheets" is appropriate. I liked Dave's "Untangling the Web". There have to be some pretty good "Map" metaphors that could be used here. Jean Delahousse: I think it should not be too technical. I like things like " Weaving the Web", it's active, simple, clear Murray Altheim: The last thing I'd like XTM to be associated with is style sheets. It really diminishes the importance of what topic maps are about, suggesting we're about appearance rather than actually content. The fur coat is more important than the person wearing it, etc. Steve Newcomb [Re: StyleSheets for Knowledge] Eeek! I object. This slogan appears to define what topic maps are, while ignoring at least half of the capabilities and value of topic maps. I think it's misleading. Topic maps are also about information management (imposition of arbitrary topical structure, infoglut control, elimination of redundancy, collaborative indexing, making finding information an interchangeable, licensable resource, etc. etc.). The information management angle is at least as significant, in terms of human productivity enhancement, as the "Style Sheets for Knowledge" angle, which I think refers to the ability of topic maps to allow information resources to be hidden in ways that are highly adapted to the user's context (user knowledge, interests, delivery platform, etc.). With topic maps, you get both of these angles, in full measure. -------------------------- eGroups Sponsor -------------------------~-~> eLerts It's Easy. It's Fun.
