Web Data Models and ramm.x

Michael Bergman has written an excellent report on Web Data Models in the realm of UMBEL, a lightweight, universal subject reference structure for the Web. He also mentions ramm.x:

[...] ramm.x is a good candidate source for UMBEL characterizations because of its breadth in format and metadata coverage. The specification is also well prepared.

Thanks Michael! We'll certainly continue to work hard on it - not only to provide well written specs, but also implement stuff ;)

Upcoming: Presenting ramm.x at the Cultural Heritage workshop at ISWC07, a poster at SAMT07, and a reference implementation for a ramm.x agent. Stay tuned ...

Creative Commons on ramm.x

Mike Linksvayer from Creative Commons recently reviewed ramm.x and concluded that

[...] ramm.x may be an effort to map and standardize use of existing and upcoming media description standards in RDFa [...]

Mike is absolutely right ;) and very welcome to join the discussion group to bring in his expertise regarding licensing issues .

ramm.x in the news :)

Just a bit of egosurfing - Danny has mentioned us on the Nodalities blog, in This Week's Semantic Web (cf. 'Docs'). Cheers, Michael ;)
