We came up with a technique called '''Aficionados'''. Using the template <nowiki>{{aficionados}}</nowiki>, one can automatically place a set of links pointing to different discussion/link sections residing in [[Centiare:Subpage|subpages]]. Then, using a standard [[Centiare:ASK|ASK]] query, a chart of links to other interested parties, their interests and their contributions can be automatically generated!

And the beauty of all this is that it uses semantic tags to facilitate both the relationships and generate reports. Pretty cool, huh? Having a simple policy like this allows the Main space to remain clean & uncluttered, and we don't have a lot of people jockeying & monkeying with link spam, etc.

I also noticed that you were using a lot of external links <nowiki>[ ]</nowiki>, rather than internal wikilinks <nowiki>[[ ]]</nowiki>. Internal links, especially those with semantic tags, seem to be picked up much better by search engines for [[SEO]]. [[User:Snerfling|Snerfling]] 07:27, 5 February 2007 (PST)

All right, I finally got a chance to take a look at the tags you created for [[Directory:Francine Neago]]. Here are some comments & suggestions:
 +
 +
*The existing attributes [[Special:Attributes|NAICS Code]] & NAICS Code Title can used to classify her as (a) 54171 - a [http://www.census.gov/epcd/naics02/def/NDEF541.HTM#N5417 scientist] and a (b) 71151 - an [http://www.census.gov/epcd/naics02/def/NDEF711.HTM#N71151 author].
 +
*I added [[Attribute:Professional Description]] to provide greater detail to the standard NAICS codes eg [[Primatologist]]
 +
*I created [[Attribute:Language]] to handle languages. Note that it's a non-[[Ordinal number]], so it can handle multiple instances.
 +
*I set up a new relation called [[Relation:Behavior Of]] to handle relationships between animals & behaviors.
 +
*I created a new relation called [[Relation:Curriculum Vitae Of]] for those that wish to create CV [[Centiare:subpage|subpage]]s and relate them back to specific individuals.
 +
*Not sure what you mean by the 'encyclopedia' attribute; could be a mistype.
 +
 +
I think you have an excellent opportunity to flesh out [[Primatologist]], [[behavior]], [[ape]] & [[orangutan]] in the Main space. While they must conform to [[NPOV]], you can use [[Centiare:aficionados]] to link her directory information, CV, articles, etc. to those articles. (Yes, the sem tags get picked up by Google.)

Let me know if you have any questions or need any help. [[User:Snerfling|Snerfling]] 11:32, 5 February 2007 (PST)

Alright, I went ahead and cleaned up/created some of the tags you were using. If you take a look at [[Directory:Francine Neago]], I think you will find it quite interesting how subject matter interests link to Main space articles (and vice versa).
 +
 +
Note also the user of the CV relation. While subpages allow the organization of detailed subsidiary information, relations provide semantic links that are picked up by Google. [[User:Snerfling|Snerfling]] 09:24, 8 February 2007 (PST)

:Thanks! Just got too busy to get back to it right away. Will definitely be following your direction and contributing and learning around here. [[User:Controltheweb|Controltheweb]] 10:58, 8 February 2007 (PST)

::If you take a look at [[Directory:Carl Sagan|Carl Sagan]], you can see how we incorporated semantic tags and an infobox. [[Directory:Francine Neago|Francine Neago]] would be a great listing to incorporate academic papers & link them to general or [[Centiare:ERB|ERB]] Main space topics. Let me know if you need any assistance. [[User:Snerfling|Snerfling]] 11:56, 8 February 2007 (PST)
