Does this sound familiar to you? But is there a panacea around? Topic Maps (t d f) another shibboleth to get hold of knowledge date back to the year 2000.
They promise to be humble but sufficient to create networks of data and provide findability. Topic maps are not about attributes but about relations therefore supportive of information browsing - a prerequisite of knowledge formation.

IT Directions - ebizQ: “Firstly, the lower layers of the RDF stack (the layers used by most tools) support only hierarchical categories of information: taxonomies rather than networks (t d f).

Well digged! Any early adopter and clearvoyants findings.

Traction Roots - Doug Engelbart: “A result of this continuous knowledge process is a dynamically evolving knowledge base as shown in Figure-7 below, consisting of three primary knowledge domains: intelligence, dialog records, and knowledge products (in this example, the design and support documents for a complex product).”

Completely forgot about that: I’m invited to speak at about the nature of Tagging (t d f) aka social classification as a part of knowledge organization. The organizers brought together almost everybody in Europe who dealt with weblogs and social sofware over the last years. The conference in Salzburg (t d f) is aimed at the educational sector but the issues at stake are overall interesting - so if you are close enough be there.

They always forget the N. - I fight for that since I’m 20 or so

Over at BlogTalk (t d f) we decided to extend the deadline for software related proposals to May 31. Please circulate this info as we want to attract more developer (t d f) proposals and mix them with the other crowd. Please submit project drafts, protptype ideas, and concepts.
