Ben Hammersley : “The W3C today released a new draft of the Core RDF concepts document. Essential reading for anyone who wants to claim to talk about RSS 1.0 with any authority or relevance.” RDF Concepts and Abstract Data Model : “Model-theoretic semantics assumes that a language refers to a ‘world’, and describes the minimal […]
Shelley Powers : “RDF: As simple as A, B, C.” Ziv Caspi : “RDF: As simple as X, M, L.” Phil Ringnalda : Ow, my head!
Minutes before going to bed last night, I wrote “until I come up with something better […] I use fopen/fread in PHP to get sha1.cgi?s=mailto:address” to get an SHA-1 hash. Minutes after getting up this morning, I was changing that to include(‘inc.sha1.php’);, thanks (as in all-caps, <blink>, onMouseover=’trumpetflourish.wav’ thanks) to Marcus Campbell, who mailed me […]
I think I’ve found the solution to my first problem with my RDF project, how to identify people when they post with one name, and comment with another couple of names, possibly using more than one email address and homepage URL as well: Friend Of A Friend, or FOAF, is an RDF vocabulary for describing […]

Of course, no matter what, there will be holdouts, like the Japanese soldiers who continued fighting WWII for years after it ended, but for me the last nail went into […]
Probably my biggest gripe about RSS 1.0 for weblog syndication is the way it discourages feed providers from adding the entire post, complete with HTML, to their feed. The content module has been around forever, but it’s chock-full of RDF goodness (which means that it’s nearly incomprehensible to the average weblogger), and doesn’t seem to […]
From Perceive Designs, a better autosubscribe bookmarklet for AmphetaDesk: rather than just subscribe you to the first <link type=”application/rss+xml> it finds, it asks you about each link of type ‘application/rss+xml’ or ‘text/xml’ or ‘text/x-opml’.
Yet another reason to get in the habit of using an RSS reader: I don’t go to the Movable Type main page very often, but like deus_x, I’m subscribed to the RSS feed so I don’t have to remember to hit the main page to find out what’s new. And in case I haven’t already […]
