| | | | |
| − | You probably know where we're going with this - if you come across anything, could you let me know? Otherwise, I may have to cobble something together myself from scratch. [[User:Centiare|Centiare]] 13:41, 11 December 2006 (PST)
| + | JA: I copied our article on [[Inquiry]] over to the [http://www.p2pfoundation.net/Main_Page P2P Foundation Wiki], so it looks like [http://www.p2pfoundation.net/Inquiry this] over there and I asked the Chief Cook there, [http://www.p2pfoundation.net/Talk:Bauwens%2C_Michel#Interwikis Michel Bauwens], if he could make a Mywikibiz interwiki to cover the resulting redlinks, but he didn't know how to do that, so I was wondering if it was something that was simple enough to explain to him?

| − | Karen, I've been talking to Greg about an easy way for you to create separate listings for your various blog properties, and then summarizing them at your primary Directory listing. You can see an example schedule at [[Directory:MyWikiBiz|MyWikiBiz]]. We can go over a slightly more automated approach if you're interested. [[User:Centiare|Centiare]] 13:38, 19 December 2006 (PST)

| − | <ask>
| + | JA: I don't know anything about RDF, but I notice that our RDF Export pages come up a lot on Google searches before anything else does. However, they all seem to contain a lot of references to Centiare URLs, so I was wondering if this was a problem from a SEO standpoint. For example, see: |

| − | Based on a conversation I had with Dad this morning, I think we're mere hours away from him opening an account on Centiare.

| + | == Best format for semantic dates == |
| | | | |
| − | == Semantic tags ==
| + | I'm going to be compiling about 8 or 10 semantic attributes on the airline disasters: |
| | + | #Aircraft type |
| | + | #Airline |
| | + | #State (where crash occurred) |
| | + | #Nearest airport |
| | + | #Cause (Air traffic control, Weather, Wildlife, Mechanical flaw, Instrument failure, Hijacking, Pilot error, Military engagement) |
| | + | #Passengers (including crew) |
| | + | #Fatalities |
| | + | #Survivors |
| | + | #Date |
| | + | That last one, I'm curious to get your opinion. What's the best way to format the date so that it can be properly sorted in an ASK query table? Should I just go with year? I don't want the table sorting all the January dates, then the February dates, etc. -- [[User:MyWikiBiz|MyWikiBiz]] 07:04, 8 April 2008 (PDT) |

| + | ==Question About Google Ad Placement== |
| − | #Semantic tags (even the State of Georgia "belongs" to Country:USA, you know?)
| + | Hi Karen, I just got off the phone with your brother Greg. He mentioned to me that I should ask you about google ads. I tried to copy and paste the code that google spit out on my page but it does not work, so I just used the template already in the page and then added my pub number to it. How do I place ads n my page the way google intended? They have some really neat ad types that I would love to incorporate. Thanks! I am new to this type of coding, so its taking me a bit of time to get used to how it all works! Thanks so much in advance! |

| − | ===Attributes & Relations=== | + | ==Interesting== |
| − | Karen, I'm in the process of writing up [[Centiare:Semantic_tagging|guidelines]] for creating custom attributes & relations. Since I haven't completed it yet, I'll step in here real quick to provide a brief overview.

| | | | |
| − | One thing I'm going to emphasize is the decision one must make between creating an attribute or relation for non-numeric values. That is, the logic is pretty clear about creating attributes for values like population, revenues, etc.
| + | == Could you please clear one deletion log from your March 22 2009 archive? == |
| | | | |
| − | Where it can get a little fuzzy is if the value '''''could be''''' a relation (ie target page in which to create a relationship between articles). In this case, you can still choose to use an attribute, like CEO for a job title, BA for degree, etc, rather than a relation to main space articles that define/explain the meaning of those terms.
| + | It lists the name '''"if the name is ???xxx??? don't use it here, it will get crawled by Google"''', the name of my client in which he wishes his name have nothing to do with this site. And when you google his name, the Washington and Wisconsin archive lists his name. After you fulfill this request, I kindly ask that you erase his name from this post as well. Thank you. |
| | | | |
| − | In the case of recipe_name, you start moving down the path closer to creating a relationship, especially if you anticipate creating stand-alone recipe pages in the future. Situations where relationships already work really well can be seen with the city->county->state->country roll-ups, etc.
| + | Got you covered --[[User:OmniMediaGroup|OmniMediaGroup]] 07:56, 8 April 2009 (PDT) |
| | | | |
| − | Finally, there's the issue of ''ordinal'' identification ie situations where there may be multiple values '''OR''' associations between values, such as degree(s)<->year(s). Right now, relationships don't handle either very well (typically, they need an additional category identifier), but attributes are just the ticket. So even if something was logically a relationship, if you're going to have a complex data set, you may decide to use attributes instead. [[User:Centiare|Centiare]] 09:11, 13 January 2007 (PST)
| + | == Oh, actually it's on the 21 March 2009 archive of the Washington and Wisconsin archive == |
| | | | |
| − | ==Main Space Articles==
| + | Typo on the date. Is it cleared alraedy by the way? I'm guessing Google cache would no longer crawl it eventually. |
| − | Karen, if you label an article 'recipe:apple pie', you're creating a Main space entry. That is, since there isn't a namespace 'recipe', the entry goes into the main space - the colon just happens to be part of the title.
| |
| | | | |
| − | Now, this isn't to say one can't use titles with colons in the Main space, nor is it saying that recipes don't belong in the Main space. It's just that anything in the mainspace needs to conform to NPOV + they can't be linked back to commercial directory listings unless they are approved by the [[Centiare:ERB]].
| + | == It's still listed in the Wisconsin archive and crawled by Google. == |
| | | | |
| − | What you may consider doing is creating a directory entry as a collection point for your recipes, then create them as subpages, along with relationships between each recipe and the page to which they relate. (Greg, do you want to take care of deleting/moving these entries?) [[User:Centiare|Centiare]] 09:32, 13 January 2007 (PST)
| + | Kindly delete it from the Wisconsin archive. Please and thank you. |
| | | | |
| − | :OK, I created [[Relation:Recipe Of]] & [[Relation:Has Recipe]]. All you have to do is create a collection point, then list each individual recipe with the 'Has Recipe' tag. Likewise, you can use the tag 'Recipe Of' within each individual recipe to associate it with its collection point.
| + | == Photography Article == |

| | | | |
| − | :When in doubt, the Berlin<->Germany example is perfect for clarifying relationships: Capital Of and Has Capital. Almost all relationships can be structured in this type of subsidiary<->parent framework; that means all one has to do is think through which is which. I do it all the time - I write down Berlin-Germany on a piece of paper and then sketch out how new situations fit to this model.

It's linked everywhere i go it's linked to Mywikibiz and yet it's on the second page and it sucks!!! Please help me? ([[User:Michael Chen|Michael Chen]] 17:12, 24 February 2010 (PST)) |
| − | OMG, your listings look great. At some point, you might want to consider creating add'l subpages to act like books/chapters. That way, you could organize the different recipe types & use the front page as a top-level lead-in/index.
| |
| | | | |
| − | What's really nice about ASK, as you've seen so far with your main listings, is that the recipes don't need to reside in any specific directories in order to pull them up into a summary report. That's the real essence of a flat structure - one that will come into play with the government roll-ups, as well as other large scale organizational projects.

| + | :I made a few changes to the article, adding feeds for fresh content for the Google spiders. Give it a few days. MyWikibiz's "recent changes" are on Google's FeedBurner.

| − | ::When everything is said & done, the true nature of the power of A/C/R (attribute/category/relation) chains is going to blow people away. In effect, semantics create a full blown relational DB structure - at the user level in the form of a wiki! Think that one through - not only can one store/report(ASK) records & fields, you can do it on-the-fly wiki style. Trippy. [[User:Snerfling|Snerfling]] 06:20, 21 January 2007 (PST)

| | | | |
| − | ==Embed==
| + | during the recent server move. |
| − | The way <nowiki><embed>...</embed></nowiki> currently works, you need to include the entire web address between the tags. That is, for either [[Centiare:Extensions|Google/Widget extensions]], configure the gadget you want at '''''their site''''', then copy over the entire address string.
| |
| | | | |
| − | If the one you're working on right now (statcounter) doesn't work that way, I can look into creating another custom extension like <nowiki><adsense></nowiki> that takes a list of parameters. [[User:Snerfling|Snerfling]] 08:48, 7 February 2007 (PST)
| + | I tried to fix it with a redirect, but it's still causing problems with links I've placed at other sites. It looks like the original code is still a valid title here, so maybe the page could just be moved back to that? [[User:Jon Awbrey|Jon Awbrey]] 19:18, 21 May 2010 (UTC) |
| | | | |
| − | :StatCounter is working fine with the <nowiki><embed>...</embed></nowiki> as is. It is a <nowiki><script type="text/javascript" language="javascript"></nowiki> which provides reports similar to Google Analytics. Does this mean all scripts of this type will work with <nowiki><embed>...</embed></nowiki>? --[[User:OmniMediaGroup|OmniMediaGroup]] 09:17, 7 February 2007 (PST) | + | :Jon, could you give us an example of a link placed at another site that doesn't "work" when clicked over to here? I've tried both of your links above, and they both work -- one on its own merit, and the other as a redirect. -- [[User:MyWikiBiz|MyWikiBiz]] 19:42, 21 May 2010 (UTC) |
| | | | |
| − | ::Yeah, it's a generic script enabler. That's why you have to include the entire web address + any specific script commands. The alternative would be to create a bunch of different parser extensions for each web site. While they would be simpler to use (eg <nowiki><adsense></nowiki> requires only its particular parameters), it could turn out to be a management nightmare.

| + | * [[Information Equals Comprehension Times Extension]] |
| − | Garrett would like to modify your state listings. You can see my comments [[User_talk:Snerfling#50_States|here]] regarding limiting our efforts to TX. Do you have a problem if we re-configure TX to develop a standard format for statewide gov't, business & NPO listings? All of your commercial links would remain until at which point TX actually takes possession. [[User:Snerfling|Snerfling]] 20:10, 7 February 2007 (PST)
| |
| | | | |
| − | :It's all good with me. Edit away!--[[User:OmniMediaGroup|OmniMediaGroup]] 11:02, 8 February 2007 (PST)
| + | But the recent recoding puts a kink in the redirect from that. And I keep finding similar variants that I have to fix one by one. I can't change the links on email posts because those are fixed forever. Just seems like it would be easier to move the page back where it was, since that's still a valid title here, I think.

| + | ==Lost Articles== |
| | | | |
| − | Thanx for the '[[Relation:Nation Located In]]' updates. It's critical we standardize on 'nation located in'; Garrett is using prefecture for Japan, etc for local levels, but still using 'nation located in' for his roll-up. You can see how this will look with potentially 1,000s of geo-political relations. [[User:Snerfling|Snerfling]] 10:33, 12 February 2007 (PST)
| + | My last attempt to edit the [[logical graph]] article resulted in a blank page and it won't let me edit again. [[User:Jon Awbrey|Jon Awbrey]] 04:20, 22 May 2010 (UTC) |

| − | ==Political Listings==
| + | : I think we got the page back minus edits. Greg will be talking to the wiki expert soon to discuss some of these long page edit issues. I believe it has something to do with the page log compression. --[[User:OmniMediaGroup|OmniMediaGroup]] 17:24, 22 May 2010 (UTC) |
| − | Very smart - I've been discussing the possibility of approaching various political organizations & candidates with [[User:MyWikiBiz|MyWikiBiz]]. We should consider different types of political attributes/relations like policy, platform, etc. Ultimately, the sem tags could be x-referenced to campaign finance disclosures, 3rd party evaluations (liberal/conservative), etc. [[User:Karl Nagel|Karl Nagel]] 15:04, 11 February 2007 (PST)

| − | I created a new interests infobox called, 'natch, [[Template:Infobox_Interests]], to deal with longs lists of interests and/or contributions. It not only presents them in a nice, clean box, but it also reduces the point size as well. You can see it in action [[Directory:Karl Nagel & Co.|here]].

| − | You and [[User:Garrett]] are both beginning to include movie information. I was waiting for this to eventually happen. Before you proceed any further, I think now is the time to huddle up and determine the correct set of tags - in effect, creating the de facto Centiare standard for movie info.

Since you've got so many pages, I will direct this question towards you: what types of information scripts exist that you could add to improve reader interest?
| |
| | | | |
| − | Example: KJ Kitchens - what types of dining RSS feeds or widgets summarizing recent books, restaurant openings, reviews, etc can be added to these pages? How would they be integrated with the sem tags? Should maps be added to specific geo directory listings?

| + | == how did you implement that "nonumtoc" thingie? == |
| | | | |

Then, at each individual listing, you could add a more detailed map, a weather box, travel info, dining/lodging recommendations/blogs, photo albums, etc. '''''all from flash/java scripts'''''.

Question About Interwikis

Best format for semantic dates
I'm going to be compiling about 8 or 10 semantic attributes on the airline disasters:

- State (where crash occurred)
- Nearest airport
- Cause (Air traffic control, Weather, Wildlife, Mechanical flaw, Instrument failure, Hijacking, Pilot error, Military engagement)
- Passengers (including crew)
- Fatalities
- Survivors
- Date

Question About Google Ad Placement
Hi Karen, I just got off the phone with your brother Greg. He mentioned to me that I should ask you about google ads. I tried to copy and paste the code that google spit out on my page but it does not work, so I just used the template already in the page and then added my pub number to it. How do I place ads n my page the way google intended? They have some really neat ad types that I would love to incorporate. Thanks! I am new to this type of coding, so its taking me a bit of time to get used to how it all works! Thanks so much in advance!

Title recoding during recent server move?
It looks like the article titled
Directory:Jon Awbrey/Papers/Information = Comprehension × Extension
got recoded as
Directory:Jon Awbrey/Papers/Information = Comprehension × Extension
during the recent server move.
I tried to fix it with a redirect, but it's still causing problems with links I've placed at other sites. It looks like the original code is still a valid title here, so maybe the page could just be moved back to that? Jon Awbrey 19:18, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
- Jon, could you give us an example of a link placed at another site that doesn't "work" when clicked over to here? I've tried both of your links above, and they both work -- one on its own merit, and the other as a redirect. -- MyWikiBiz 19:42, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
For instance, some sites and discussion lists force me to use the alias:
But the recent recoding puts a kink in the redirect from that. And I keep finding similar variants that I have to fix one by one. I can't change the links on email posts because those are fixed forever. Just seems like it would be easier to move the page back where it was, since that's still a valid title here, I think.
