Re: Rigged Aggregators?


try activew.com
Hey.

It seems like annotea could be used for this.  It specifies a way of  
creating, maintianing and retrieveing meta data comments (annotations)  
about anything with a URI.

No matter how you model it, the very biggest thing would be to have a way  
for people to very easily add to meta data about how accurate a given  
article is because relying on the publisher of the article to do this for  
you has obvious flaws.

Aggregating and browsing applications would need to incorporate this data  
in a meaningful way. But to my mind the usability and convenience of the  
mechanism by which "accuracy" meta data gets created and reviewed by an  
activew audience is far more critical.
