Category: HyperGlossary

All,

On the 19th of this month I’ll be presenting at the summit of the book in Baku. Yes, I know, it’s super cool.

I have three ideas for what I would like to present from our group and I wonder who is interested in working on what part (or would like to suggest alternatives). I am not talking about final projects but at least solid plans as to how we will complete and maybe some aspect working:

• HyperGlossaries implemented in a basic way in WordPress with a way to create, insert and access glossary entries which are at least close to being integrated with knowledge graphs.

• Socratic Authoring: Demonstrating exporting of a document to a server and have the server be able to ‘look’ inside the document to do advanced analysis/views.

• ViewSpecs in WordPress. Essentially a powerful, web based RSS reader with easy mechanisms to specify whose thread the user wants to read and what keywords to search for (this would be prime for our own dog-fooding/bootstrapping).

* I am also investing heavily of my own to have a basic version of dynamic views in Author useable by then: http://www.liquid.info/view.html

This is a fantastic excuse for an early deadline and a great opportunity to sign up allies to our mission of making knowledge more usefully interactive, to have libraries as partners for a global, 21st Century DKR.
