SIOC profile for 'sioc-project.org' A SIOC profile describes the structure and contents of a community site (e.g., weblog) in a machine processable form. For more information refer to the <a href="http://rdfs.org/sioc">SIOC project page</a> General rambling, plus a challenge Challenge first: Ben Hammersley had a lovely setup with Lazyweb.org. You write some idea on your own blog, do a trackback ping to a particular URI, your idea is collected and republished there. Over here you felt like you might reach someone that might make your idea a reality, over there you saw a stream of bright ideas (and a fair number of answers). It died because of the maintenance problem of trackback spam. The single point of failure was the URI which got pinged. Get rid of that, maybe it might work again. SIOC can capture all the relevant bits of information - the challenge is to deploy it in way that's maintainable. The ramble I had planned starts like this: * Mailing lists suck. * Forums suck. * IM/IRC channels suck. * Blogs suck. * Wikis suck. - but I've run out of steam. I can tell you what provoked the intended ramble: my annoyance with the tech we're looking at - simply trying to find good information about electric guitar bodies. An arbitrary end-user application of the Web. The information and the people you need to talk to are there and willing, but you spend more time...oh, you know what I mean. I think SIOC has a lot of what is needed. Now fix it, will you..? (One domain-specifc site could lead the way. Not that I'm hinting.)
