Deborah's use of the word "location" triggered an alert in my mind. By
location, are you referring to an address, a location defined by coordinates, or
a location defined by reference or all three? The reason I ask is that there is
a tremendous amount of standards work already done that allows simple _expression_
of location. There is also an excellent standard for expressing location and
temporal location. Finally, there is also some really strong standards work
related to using web accessible registries that allow harvesting,
maintenance, and discovery of location enabled information.

an open research group
I think the biggest challenge is establishing a set of
coordinates to record precise times and locations of data publishing/sharing
and data reuse...a registry system for authors and editors to place their own
work, and interpretations of work by others, in context before self publishing
in places as enormous and broad as the w3c.

Thanks
AJ, Ed and Deborah for the
exciting things
I perceive consensus
in the community at large that usability is an issue for ontologies as
well as more fluid and dynamic reserch validation processes. This thread
offers us the opportunity of doing both in near real time.
AJ - I
have just added myself to your project page, and registered
feedback will
follow
thanks

Open data movement is going toward
the direction you are probably thinking about. Open data is less known
than open access, but I think, if the vision of open data can be realized,
it will bring huge benefits including real time data publishing/sharing
and data reuse, which will accelerate science and technology development
for sure. Moreover, I happen to believe semantic web technology
and ontology are just the right tools for making open data truly powerful
because open data wrapped in semantic objects can be discovered, shared
and reused immediately as they become available on the web. The task
force on scientific publishing that I'm coordinating under w3c HCLS group
is developing SPE (Self-Publishing of Experiment) ontology for this
purpose. In supporting this task, i.e. promoting open data on semantic
web, I've created a easy-to-use semantic web publishing tool for researchers to open
their data. I'm also building a search
engine for researchers to search the open data. Obviously,
opening raw data on the web by researchers themselves requires a shift in
the mind set, and it's definitely the biggest challenge. Good ideas that
can encourage this shift are still to come.
