I can blog but I can’t talk.

We just had some pretty severe thunderstorms cruise through our neighborhood. At some point our voice line went out but our DSL line still works fine (or you would not see this message). It amazes me that our data line is more reliable than the voice line, which has had, what, a century in which to perfect its technology?  Maybe Verizon voice just sucks.

Aggie the Aggregator

I’ve been trying out a variety of desktop newsfeed aggregators lately and I think I’ve found a winner: Aggie.  It does require installing .NET service pack but other than that it was easy to install and use. I like how it keeps track of what I have already read and only shows new entries. Very nice.

KM Audio Seminar for Associations

GWSAE is offering an telephone/web seminar this month on knowledge management. The program features Larry Prusak (who coined the term) and Seth Kahan. Seth was one of the folks who developed the World Bank’s KM program, which I have heard very good things about. I’ll be signing up for this one.

XFML

A new XML standard has been proposed for publishing faceted metadata. XFML. 



eXchangable Faceted Metadata Language. XFML is an open XML format to publish and share faceted metadata for websites. It allows for easy creation of advanced, automatically generated navigation for your website. You can even automatically generate links to related topics on other websites. It also allows for merging of metadata between different websites.


This looks promising for publishing meta data that can be used by other web sites and/or user client software.  After reviewing the information on the site it does not appear that they borrowed anything from the Zthes DTD for xml representation of a thesaurus. It seems to me that creating linkages between the two could make both standards stronger.
