:*Contributors are encouraged to take [[user-owned|ownership]] of [[Centiare:Directory_namespace|Directory]] articles about themselves or their enterprises. You may write as an opinionated advocate in the Directory -- neutrality is not required. You can sell products, promote videos, upload documents, even place some Google AdSense ads.  You should start now by typing some content onto your ''own'' '''[[User:{{{1}}}|User page]]''', so that another contributor doesn't (inadvertently) claim ownership to your page by being the first to author content on it.

:*Because the [[Semantic tagging|Semantic Web]] is installed on Centiare, searches can be performed that wouldn't be possible on Google, MySpace, or Wikipedia. For example, you might envision this search: "Locate all home heating oil companies, at least 50 years in business, in the state of New Jersey."  You learn how to construct that kind of query [[Centiare:ASK|here]]. But first, here's your first semantic attribute [[User_Name:=[[User:{{{1}}}]]]] - look for the automatic RDF report at the bottom of the page.

We encourage you to get started by '''being bold''' -- go ahead, '''''[[Centiare:Listing|add a listing]]'''''.  It can be for yourself, your business, a non-profit organization that you admire, or even just any "ordinary" topic under the sun.
