No registration needed
but optionally available
anonymity vs. abuse
the project should allow people to give anonymous votes/ratings - however NOT multpile votes/ratings for the same subject. there will have to be multiple mechanisms in place to prevent users from spamming/multiple rating or at least doing the same thing over and over again should not make a difference (override)
Trust and security
Theoretically, using amoeba within a 3rd party product allows amoeba to inject malicious code into this project. Therefore it is important to emphasize trust and security of the application.
why should i register?
one of the few reasons why a user registers himself to an application must be, because himself can later benefit of it thanks to the fact that all his actions are connected to his account.
Just being able to participate is not a reason why a user registers if there is no direct benefit of his participation at a later stage.
why should i register to amoeba if there is no way of seeing whom or what i have rated in a "my history" view or so?

The Predicate
I was thinking of the predicate connecting two subjects. It could be "Agree" or "Disagree" rather than "good in" or "bad at".

Some resources about RDF
- http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2001/01/24/rdf.html
- For more on the Semantic Web, see other SemWeb articles on xml.com, the W3C, and their Semantic Web mail list.
- The W3C specifications for RDF form the definitive guide, but other sources are a better bet for learning RDF: this tutorial, the site rdf:about, and the book Practical RDF.
- There are many toolkits available in a variety of programming languages for working with RDF. This page lists most of the toolkits.
- RDFS and OWL are W3C vocabularies used to create schemas or ontologies. SchemaWeb maintains a list of other vocabularies.
- SPARQL is the new query language for RDF. There is an article on SPARQL right here on xml.com.
- Automated inferencing is one main line of interest for RDF. Cwm and Euler are two tools for inferencing over RDF, using the RDFS and OWL schemas and other general rules. Pellet is an OWL-DL reasoning engine.
- Some existing RDF datasets are listed here and on rdfdata.org.

Database Decision
The decision has fallen to PostgreSQL because of the XML capabilities.
Next will follow the installation and the research into the XML syntax.

RDFa - Metadata for XHTML
RDFa is a standard that allows to add meta data to html2 code.

Swoogle
Swoogle is a semantic web search engine. Search for ontologies.
Wordnet
WordNet® is an online lexical reference system whose design is inspired by current psycholinguistic theories of human lexical memory. English nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs are organized into synonym sets, each representing one underlying lexical concept. Different relations link the synonym sets.

xml or n3?
pro xml:
- flexible
- redable
- compatible with many interfaces/apps
- commonly used/well understood
con xml:
- bloated
- slow
pro N3:
- small
- fast
con N3:
- inflexible
- hard to read
- not yet very common (yet)

PHP5 up and running...
... and the xml parsing functionalities have been tested out. The next step is to define the xml schema with a XSD, DTD and do more research in RDF/Notation3
PHP5 has been successfully installed!
I have installed successfully php5 on my mac os x ppc server. It works fine and smoothly under port 8080.
I am not beginning to research the whole xml setup of php5 and how i should implement my project to make it successful
