Comments on the library and information science world
Jeroen started with a really well told parable about authoritative subjects.
He illustrates that in the semantic Web we have nearly in place has all about the relations between subjects, but that authority file on the subjects are still missing. To be honest I think I only grasp a little bit about his well told and presented story. But I need time digest this all. Or is it perhaps the end of the day calling?
The photo in the header is the street where we live. You can actually see our house, it is behind the completely brown cow. An old brick house, in a row of 4 houses, built in 1931 or thereabout. The photo has been taken from the floodplains of the Rhine. These are flooded on a regular basis. Between the cows and the street there is a small water which a kind of artificial creek.
