In the future, ID providers will loosen their connection to social applications and start taking over management of users' social attributes. Users will be able to log in to applications using credentials hosted by their ID providers of choice and grant permissions to these applications to read or even sync selected fragments of their profile data. The borders of these walled gardens will thus blur, and the social Web will become more of a weave than a patchwork quilt.

interesting blog post about the need for syndicated web ratings.

heel interessant idee, zeer veel raakvlak met Peers IMS.

This paper examines user-generated metadata as implemented and applied in two web services designed to share and organize digital me- dia to better understand grassroots classification. Metadata - data about data - allows systems to collocate related information, and helps users find relevant information.

This Textbook offers training in the understanding and application of statistics. The material was developed at the StatSoft R&D department based on many years of teaching undergraduate and graduate statistics courses and covers a wide variety of applications, including laboratory research (biomedical, agricultural, etc.), business statistics, credit scoring, forecasting, social science statistics and survey research, data mining, engineering and quality control applications, and many others. The Electronic Textbook begins with an overview of the relevant elementary (pivotal) concepts and continues with a more in depth exploration of specific areas of statistics, organized by "modules," accessible by buttons, representing classes of analytic techniques. A glossary of statistical terms and a list of references for further study are included.

misschien handig zolang we nog geen datavisualisator hebben... :)

mogelijk interessant framework.. interlinking communities...

What is SIOC? The SIOC initiative (Semantically-Interlinked Online Communities) aims to enable the integration of online community information. SIOC provides a Semantic Web ontology for representing rich data from the Social Web in RDF.

a unified social network that, as a service, provides social data to many other applications

APML allows users to share their own personal Attention Profile in much the same way that OPML allows the exchange of reading lists between News Readers. The idea is to compress all forms of Attention Data into a portable file format containing a description of ranked user interests.

heel erg relevant. mooie ontwikkelingen. goed in de gaten houden.

gRSShopper is a personal web environment that combines resource aggregation, a personal dataspace, and personal publishing. It allows you to organize your online content any way you want to, to import content - your own or others' - from remote sites, to remix and repurpose it, and to distribute it as RSS, web pages, JSON data, or RSS feeds.

Our initial products are: * The True Knowledge Answer Engine - a search engine-like consumer site which can answer questions, be used to add knowledge and also be used just like a conventional search engine. * an API product for computer-generated queries.

Bundle of identity, trust, profiling, and attention services.. INTERESTING!!!!!! OpenID Use this service to quickly and easily create your own OpenID Account. Profiler Feed the AttentionProfiler your Attention Data and it will update your APML file. Developers Consume Engagd Web Services through your App or Mashup to instantly add Attention Awareness. ItemRank Give ItemRank a piece of content and it will return a Personal Relevancy Rank based on your APML file (+ other things) More coming... This is just the beginning. We will be adding more services soon.

User profiles can be used to identify persons inside a community with similar interests. Folksonomy systems allow users to individually tag the objects of a common set (e.g., web pages). In this paper, we propose to create user profiles from the data available in such folksonomy systems by letting users specify the most relevant objects in the system. Instead of using the objects directly to represent the user profile, we propose to use the tags associated with the specified objects to build the user profile. We have designed a prototype for the research domain to use such tag-based profiles in finding persons with similar interests. The combination of tag-based profiles with standard recommender system technology has resulted in a new kind of recommender system to recommend related publications, keywords, and persons.
