Discussing POWDER and discovery mechanisms on the Web …

My colleague Juergen Umbrich and I had a reading group on POWDER and related technologies yesterday here at DERI. There were some interesting questions and discussion around that, esp. regarding the involved costs for implementing such mechanisms, the use cases and the progress in this area.

The resource and metadata discovery domain seems all in all still in its early days and people with different background (just compare POWDER with XRD) should start talking to with each other.

What is your take on it?

As just posted to the TAG list, my ‘attempt to defined non-information resources without using non-information resource‘ – I’d love to learn about your opinion here, in case you are not yet subscribed to the TAG mailing list ;)
