So, it turns out that I really do have to learn more about the Semantic Web.
Crap.
More from the De Lange Conference will be on the DLTF blog.

Random thoughts
Oh, where to start?
Yesterday had a horrible migraine. Part hormonal, surely, but also part stress. I've decided to try the diet approach that I heard about on NPR last summer, so I'm going to go buy the guy's book today:
Heal Your Headache: The 1-2-3 Program for Taking Charge of Your Pain by David Buchholz
We'll see how it goes.
Now we're trying to figure out what to do with Will for the summer. I have to call the YWCA to see what they offer for the summer. The other options are UBCCC and Park School, the latter of which is a wonderful program but really, really expensive. Ugh.

Funny things Ethan has said recently
On December 16, upon leaving Chuck E. Cheese after two hours:
Ethan: "Mommy, what's going on with your face?"
Me: "Ethan, I can't even begin to answer that question."
The other night coming home from work/school:
E, upon drinking from his sippy cup: "Mommy, is this juice?"
Me: "No, you finished your juice, so I refilled it with water in my office."
E: "Well, I wanted ekshool juice."
Later that night, snuggling in Ethan's bed....
Me: "Ethan, I see your belly."
E: "Do you see my belly button? [pulling up his pajama top] There it is!"
Me: "Can I kiss it?"
E: "No, it's dangerous!"
Me: "Why?"
E: "Because there are bugs and monsters in it."
Ahhh.....

Semantic Web
Yet another new thing to learn about?
This was posted to the DIGLIB list on May 20, as part of a call for papers.
Semantic transportation data models
An underpinning of any effort to share data is getting agreement on the exact meaning of individual data elements and their relationships. This activity occurs within individual transportation agencies - for example, as part of a data warehousing effort; and in the context of larger data standards setting and data exchange efforts. Precise documentation of meaning is essential for data sharing - it allows a potential data user to determine the suitability of a data set, and it provides the basis for translation across different data elements.
With the emergence of the semantic web, progress is being made in many domains on development of semantic data models or ontologies - using the W3C Resource description Framework (RDF) language, the Ontology Web Language (OWL), or ISO 13250-1 Topic Maps. These are precise specifications of information elements that can be used to improve "findability" on the web and to support intelligent web services.
