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. ----->N On Fri, 11 Mar 2005 16:21:40 -0700, M.
