Faviki - Social bookmarking tool using smart semantic Wikipedia (DBpedia) tags SAVE
PEOPLE
playing with an interesting semweb social bookmarking service - may this be a delicious plus plus? like all services of this kind the pain is that my social network is not portable - sna lock in ugh.. - this apparently uses wikipedia terms from LOD to drive classification - wonder if its a good idea but interesting concept on linking data with social activity - Interested in how this applies to our discussions on data strategies ( ie using a wiki to drive a structured taxonomy for social emergent behavior - does it make sense? what does it mean to the way we are deriving our meta data - does it consolidate or diffuse? does it corrupt namespaces or clean them up? how can we measure? Data find the data but does it make the context better? Lots of good stuff here to think about.TAGS
