danbri: See also The Semantic What? ('"Information is given meaning?" What the HELL does that MEAN!?!?!')
 
dajobe: from what I recall of what Mike said months ago, this will let you have URIs (URNs) for IETF (IANA registered) terms such as protocol parameters, mime types. I need to delve deeper to check this.
dajobe: earlier chat with Mike and he said: "as soon as the DDDS documents come out you'll be able to resolve 'urn:ietf:params:xml:foo' into 'http://foo.org/bla/bla/bla' reliably..." and "that's part of the urn scheme we set up... as in 'urn:ietf:params:mime:content-types:text-plain' "
dajobe: it's the "resolves" part that DDDS addresses. I can't find a trail of references that says how the urn:ietf space is defined
 
DanC: LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe). FAQ
DanC: cool... p2p web cache
DanC: "LOCKSS acts as a selective Web cache. It preserves the bits making up a Web journal by polling the journal?s Web site at suitable intervals."
DanC: "The more libraries run LOCKSS, the more copies of each journal will be preserved and the more reliable this process will be."
DanC: kinda like google's notion of endorsement... well, more like freenet's.
DanC: based on squid. hmm... what p2p features does squid have?
DanC: hmm... relies on boot floppies; do floppies last 5 years?
DanC: these guys seem to grok web architecture; they didn't do any funky naming stuff, didn't re-invent any wheels. Just concentrated on reliability and cost issues.
 
DanC: "PHP iCalendar is a php-based iCal file parser. Its based on v2.0 of the IETF spec. It displays iCal files in a nice logical, clean manner with day, week, month, and year navigation, printer view, RSS-enabled, and searchable. It supports 12 languages, is fully theme-able, and has complete timezone support."
