More on Typed Citations

I've written before about the idea of typed citations.

Mark Liberman (who I might have studied under if I'd gone ahead with my PhD application to UPenn) comments on the idea of typed citations with some excellent thoughts. One thing that I realised, reading Mark's post: I probably wasn't clear that I was envisaging a controlled vocabulary, much like XFN has.

The notion of typed citations relates to trackbacks, a topic I've also talked about before. Bryan Lawrence (who has recently become my main sounding board in the development of Leonardo) asks about semantics in trackbacks. He is talking about typing the source object rather than relationship but the two are related. In RDF terms, one is a class, the other is a property. I would love to see both able to be expressed in a trackback.

On the Red Couch

No, I'm not appearing on Scoble's Red Couch (I wouldn't say no, though) but Nelson James will be on this red couch next Sunday.

That's right, the pop duo I'm in has been invited back (always a good sign) to perform on local chat show, The Couch, for their Christmas special.

UPDATE (2004-12-14): Unfortunately, there is a conflict with a play that Nelson is in and so we've had to cancel our television appearance. However, we should be appearing some time in the new year.
