I'm writing a BIG book on the Semantic Web!! To: "DataPortability.Public.General" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> hi everyone, my name is david siegel. i'm the author of the first book on web design, creating killer web sites. i'm now writing a book on the semantic web for harvard business school press - it's the first business book on the semantic web. i'm a big fan of data portability, and in particular i'm interested in data stability - having the data in databases live out on the web and bringing tasks to the data, rather than moving data all over the place. the book is very forward- looking. it will give a big boost to the semantic and open-standards movement. i hope you might be able to help me. i'm looking for case studies that tell the story of standard, open metadata formats and ontologies. best are stories that show the business case for standardization and open collaboration between companies. i need to make it colorful and interesting, so the business audience will get it. i'm hoping you all can point me in the right direction. can you help? any ideas? i'm also going to start a google group for people interested in contributing and commenting on the latest developments. if you're interested, please email me personally. see my blog for more: www.dsiegel.com thanks, -- David Siegel [EMAIL PROTECTED] --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "DataPortability.Public.General" group.
