  • kSpaces.net – kSpaces is a metadata-driven, distributed knowledge management platform. It was designed to be lightweight, transparent and extensible. The kSpaces proof-of-concept allows files to be described with arbitrary RDF metadata. These descriptions can then be easily shared with and queried by other nodes in the system. Finally, kSpaces-managed files can be made available to all other nodes participating in the same kSpace.
  • pDNS: Diagram of how it fits – The PeoplesDNS project is being created to allow traditional DNS style lookups in ‘peoplespace’ utilizing FOAF. It is a powerful way to search and lookup information on people and a powerful way for you to be integrated into products like PeopleAggregator and Tribe, Orkut etc. The pDNS system will be opensource, non-centralized and will be a series of independent servers operated by individuals and companies. PeoplesDNS.com will act as ‘Node1’ and distribute ‘zone files’ much the same way as the DNS system currently works.
  • Drupal: Incentives for online software: the 7 pieces social software must have … – discussion of some of Matt Webb’s recent thoughts on social software. [some of my own thoughts from last year; I’ve yet to write up my thoughts on automated ways of establishing complex trust relationships or limiting personal data propogation w/in DSS systems; I may get around to writing some of it down… or not depending on time; current priorities are in finishing work and writing up some KM thoughts for Hypertext 2004 submission]
  • Digital Squeeze: Matthew Phillips – Digital Squeeze explores a digitally enhanced society and supports the evolution of community; how people connect and interact online. Digital Squeeze is dedicated to the question: ‘How will the digital world connect back to the physical world?’ – OK, what’s w/ the patents though? (software patents are BAD) Also, I doubt anything you’re ‘inventing’ is really revolutionary. Come on now. It’s probably been thought of before, and probably at least dozens of other people are doing the same thing at this exact moment
  • Commentary on my presentation from last year – in Chinese. So I can’t understand it. Oh well. (WorldLingo gives a partial crappy translation, Systran does a little better)
