Jack William Bell's Journal: The 'Semantic Web' goes into history

I am not certain I really understand the 'Semantic Web', but projects like HEML (Historical Event Markup and Linking) definately help me to understand the enormous power of the concept.

HEML is an XML Schema for historical events that includes dates, people, places and more. It also includes XSLT transformation files to generate lists, maps and graphical timelines. This is really very cool and I would love to play with it.

(Note to self: Review current personal projects. If number of projects > 50 then discard some.)

(Second note to self: New project, develop criteria for selecting projects to discard.)

tabbed interface

[anitar]

but doesn't a tabbed interface in your dev tools help you work on a zillion thing at once? the code writes itself in the background while you are browsing in the front window.

Re:tabbed interface

[Jack William Bell]

Only if the front window is /. or your journal...

Anything else and the code introduces bugs into itself. Between that and the horrible Microsoft documentation I can never get anything done.

(Third note to self)

[Jack William Bell]

Selection criteria should not employee a FIFO (first in, last out) algorithm.

(Fourth note to self)

[Jack William Bell]

A LIFO (last in, first out) algorithm presents problems as well, possibly leading to an endless loop...

I think I have mined this vein out :-)
