UMBEL Subject Reference Project

Hi All,

You are cordially invited to comment or participate in the
UMBEL (Upper 
Mapping and Binding Exchange Layer) project.

UMBEL is a lightweight way to describe the subject(s) of Web
content, 
akin to the relationship "isAbout". It is meant to
work universally with 
HTML, tagging, microformats or other standard practices,
including 
various RDF schemas and more formal ontologies.  Its
reference subject 
'backbone' is derived from the intersection of common
subjects found on 
popularly used Web sites and other accepted subject
references.

UMBEL is very simple with few ambitions.  It is merely a
reference 'bag 
of subjects' to help relate Web data sets to one another.

UMBEL makes no presumptions to replace formal domain or
upper 
ontologies, has little or no inferential power, and makes no
assumptions 
about the means to describe or serialize the underlying
data.  UMBEL is 
meant to work with data sets ranging from RSS and Atom feeds
to tagging, 
microformats, RDF, existing schema and other data and
metadata models. 
UMBEL's development is being backed by a number of leading
open data 
efforts and entities.

In addition to its core reference subjects, the UMBEL
project will be 
providing look up, query, registration, pinging, and related
services. 
The project is completely open under a community process
with all 
products available via Creative Commons licenses.

The initial project site is at http://www.umbel.org,
including an 
introduction (http://www.umbel.org
/intro.xhtml) (the best place to 
start!) and the draft project specification 
(http://www.umbel.
org/proposal.xhtml).

A mailing list you can monitor or join is at 
http:/
/groups.google.com/group/umbel-ontology.

We welcome and invite your participation!

Best regards,

Mike Bergman
