Slashdot talks about Ontologies?
Okay, it's like a virus spreading around. Slashdot just posted this article on new W3C Drafts, including an OWL Guide... Oof. I'm just starting to get a handle on this stuff...
People at W3C seem to have had a busy Friday, according to their website. They have released no less than 4 working drafts (Web Ontology Language (OWL) Guide, the QA Working group - Introduction, Process and Operational Guidelines, Specification Guidelines) and 2 proposed recommendations: XML-Signature XPath Filter 2.0 and HTML DOM 2.
I spent a good 2 or 3 hours yesterday going over the RDF stuff again. It's definitely not a technology for mere mortals nor something you can just pick up in one sitting. I find myself grokking only portions of the Semantic Web at a time. I wonder if its because these Brains that are creating it have a hard time talking to us lesser beings or because the technology/implementation is just too complex...
