representing scientific discourse, or: why triples are not enough by Anita de Waard, Disruptive Technologies Director (how is that for a cool title?), Elsevier Labs, merits a long look.
I won’t spoil the effect by trying to summarize the presentation. It is only 23 slides long.
Read those slides carefully and then get yourself to: Rhetorical Document Structure Group HCLS IG W3C. Read, discuss, contribute.
PS: Based on this slide pack I am seriously thinking of getting a Twitter account so I can follow Anita. Not saying I will but am as tempted as I have ever been. This looks very interesting. Fertile ground for discussion of topic maps.
