Compendium - release now available for free download: "Compendium is the semantic hypertext concept mapping tool at the heart of the Compendium methodology. It supports the real time mapping of discussions in meetings, collaborative sense-making and modelling, and the longer term management of this information as organizational memory. Compendium is the result of over 15 years' continual research, deployment and development at the intersection of meeting facilitation, knowledge management and argumentation."
Google and RSS (David Galbraith) - basically why the current Google is no good for it.

David suggests using XML database to allow semantic queries, but why not go all the way and store the metadata in an RDF database as in TAP?
Semantic Web Trust and Security Resource Guide lots of annotated links.

The Blawgistan Times
Announcement:

It is done. The Blawgistan Times are now available here. The "Times" are more than just a website. They're BlawgCafe 0.1. Yes, you read right. BlawgCafe has come to town. Here's how it works: Every time someone we monitor adds the word "Blawgistan" or "Lazyblawg" to her or his postings title, or posts into the categories "Blawgistan" or "Lazyblawg" (use this if you have categories, titles if you don't), the Blawgistan Times will feature this posting as "invoking the lazyblawg". How cool is that?

An XML format for mail and other messages (ietf draft) - Graham Klyne. "The goal is, in part, to create an XML message format that is also RDF compliant; i.e. accessible to RDF parsers with conversion. (The goal is NOT to do email-in-XML.)"

Bill de hOra: REST and session state - "REST constrains that state reside on the client, However the real web works precisely backwards to this: all interesting state is kept on the server, as sessions."
He goes on to suggest : "Exposing session state as resources."
W3C RDF Validation Service has been updated and now supports the Last Call Working Draft specifications issued by the RDF Core Working Group. It is based upon the ARP Parser included in Jena 1.6.1 and graphs are generated using version 1.8.9 of GraphViz.
