Hi all,
This time last year Pundit got a mention in a post about a DM2E project event at the BM. I wonder if any Antiquistas have had a chance to experiment with this open source tool?
It strikes me that with the launch of the UK terminology standards as linked data last Summer at http://www.heritagedata.org/blog/ plus the ever increasing amount of digitised cultural heritage available online this is very much an ‘idea whose time has come’… but I don’t have the expertise myself or the IT infrastructure to experiment with it!
How cool would it be if every time you came across something interesting on the web you could just call up an option in your browser and instead of ‘bookmarking’ it index it with the power of a thesaurus based tool, and thus link it to all the other resources indexed with the same terms. And share those indexing links with others. And search on all the marked-up resources that had been found by others working in the sector…
All good wishes, and hoping to hear that someone out there is doing this already!
