architects Irene Cheng and Brett Snyder “have created a virtual map to guide users around Manhattan to sites where projects they describe as ‘visionary’ were planned but never built. The map is available as an interactive iPhone application…that uses GPS technology to detect when a user is near any of the roughly 50 notable sites, triggering a feature that allows the user to learn about the proposal through the architect’s foiled designs and words.

Via Stefan, a proposal from the WSO2 gang for an approach to decentralizing media types and removing the requirement for the registration process.

Methodology

We first created three different variants based on the original microdata proposal

Google n'embauche que le top 1% des développeurs. Google embauche tous les PhD qu'ils peuvent. Et pourtant, Google nous sort des "études" qui dès la première ligne nous font penser à un sondage Opinion Ways : une problématique exposée foireuse soutenue par des questions biaisée. Google : le JC Decaux d'internet.

Les RDF Men présentent leur nouveau champion : Manu Sporny. Pour une nouvelle réécriture des Textes Sacrés : plus d'éditeurs, plus de spécialistes, plus d'accessibilité, plus de modularité, plus d'attention envers les orphelins (RDFa).

Il semble que Manu soit de très bonne famille et œcuménique par dessus ça : il est éditeur de vocabulaires RDF et microformat.

Data Walk: Bringing Demographics to the People is a project proposal that seeks to unfurl one of the most used data sets into the real world by mapping Census data directly onto the NYC landscape.

Recently the JSR for standardizing injection annotations was announced. I think the proposal is going in the wrong direction, and would like to outline why in this post.

The following is a proposal for the use of machine tags for content related to Bucketworks. I’d love feedback from people familiar with machine tags, and people involved with Bucketworks.

Then, at the back, I wanted to include a section of stuff that I'm working on. (I'm supposed to be writing a book proposal so I've bound all my notes in here hoping it will spur me on.)

Karl Dubost, who has recently left the W3C, has a proposal for Data Independence And Survival Best Practices that he is looking for feedback on. If you are interested in this topic, please take a moment to consider his proposal and provide feedback to him (not me.)

This visualization is a concept for the LizardFeeder and it’s built with jQuery and SVG plugin. Code is a mess, so I’ll post only some (retouched) screenshots.

This is at present a braindump of an idea I had to extend RDFa to use as a templating language for building web pages. It is not by any means finished or implemented, but it is a starting point for further discussion as to how such a thing should work.

Proposal and distribution of the SVG Map profile specification.

ECMA Script 4 instead chose to focus on obscure problems like let-versus-var scoping rules. The result was an overly bloated and complex proposal that was destined to be scrapped, and more importantly, would have not pushed the next generation of web applications even had it succeeded. [...] And that’s why Objective-J is different.

Atom Info Proposal Improving the human readability and understanding of Atom feeds

This proposal does sound appealing, but I agree with the others that it's too draconian.
