I think Andrius has come up with a stellar idea.

Subject: [xtm-mktg] 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

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.
