Following on from the content labels chat I had with Paul Walsh (documented here!!!!) I had some further thoughts about adding semantic content to websites.

I seems to me that a lot could be gained if we added something like the tag concept to the actual element itself, then when linking to other sites I could tag the link with meaning.

I was out with Paul Walsh from Segala earlier this week and he was going over the concept of Content Labels. I think this sounds like a very interesting proposal and something I will be more than happy to get behind. He outlines the concept in plain English in this post

It will be very interesting to see how this standard develops. It also got me to thinking how good it would be if we could come up with a ‘Wisdom of the Crowds” version for self certification and to encompass the long, long tail of the web.

So I’m a little late in posting about this, its probably been almost a month since the guys over at GNR (Global Name Registry) pointed me to their new site at freeyourid.com. But, the OpenID movement is just gaining momentum and there is still plenty of time left to go and get your very own .name email and OpenID url.

The site is very slick and well worth a look even if you don’t fancy signing up (although I can’t think of any reason why). You get your id free for 3 months and then its $10 a year, bargain.

So after a lot of work (mostly done by the three other members of the team – Richard White, Lance Ivy and Ed Moss) the new shiny version of AjaxScaffold has reached RC1 and is available under its new name ActiveScaffold.

Richard White gives a bit more info about it on his blog.

This will pretty much draw to a close this blog being used for the docs as AjaxScaffold will get an EOL stamp once ActiveScaffold reaches v1.0. So thank you to all who have given us feedback and supported the project so far.
