La Tortue Cynique / The Cynical Turtle

Another wasted day...

... but with some fun nonetheless. I went to a local store and bought the 3 last albums of Sakamoto Ryuichi, and it's really expensive. I still can't realize that I've spent so much money for those three plastic discs.

Another part of the day was spent trying to find out some standard software classification scheme. After some site, I've found Eric S. Raymond's Trove, which does too much for my little goal: organize our departement software repository, and this is far from being a large-scale archive. By the way, appart from the SourceForge Trove Software Map, whose source code doesn't seem to be available, I can't see any implementation of this thing. Do we need really something like a software categorization thesaurus? I think so. There is a real effort to produce the necessary semantics, and widespread them. Maybe it could be a part of the Semantic Web development, like a proof of concept on an "easy thing". This whole Semantic Web/RDF seems to bother Russell Beattie quite a lot currently. I hope his researchs and reflexions will abbreviate my own ones, dear lazyness (Cyberpunk, 2002/11/27 18:26) lien permanent
