[[PageOutline]]
== Random ideas ==
 * '''User interface'''
   * non binary features: link to objects, reverse lookup, link to property
   * template streamlining (mouseover comments for all items/features, link detection for all comments, etc.)
   * item page streamlining (reviews first, list all feature instances instead of recent only)
   * welcome ST page for user
   * ST annotation wizard
     * partially done but should additionally generate annotation overlaps between users
   * allow some simple HTML in comments (<i>,<a href=... skip=bool>)
   * recommendation channel edit functionality
   * filter negative features in view
 * '''Refactoring'''
   * diff-based syncer
   * use Beans instead of JSON for ST models (fix String vs. HTML escaping ugliness in the process)
   * use TDB named graphs for SF namespaces?
 * '''Annotating items'''
   * explicit similar-to/part-of feature type (further input for feature type recommender)
   * rules for deducing features (per-user basis, let user confirm generated feature instances)
   * sameAs links to other data sources
 * '''Adaptation for music domain'''
   * simplify entering song/band information
   * download/cache songs
   * generate/play playlists, possibly with changing style over time (AutoDJ)
 * '''Book domain ontology'''
   * see also [wiki:DBTropes DBTropes]

 * '''Metadata sharing'''
   * optimize synchronization
   * cache and forward data on intermediate nodes in a secure fashion
   * superpeer nodes? Possibly represented within the network? (superpeer3-hasFeature-!IsHubForMusic)
   * detect 'hot topics'
 * '''Trust network''' - trust as in "peer is competent/peer's metadata is important")
   * [http://www.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/~dbis/Publications/04/EEE04.html Spreading Activation Models for Trust Propagation]
   * explicit representation of trust (see Skippies ontology)
     * user interface changes for that
     * trust metric changes for that
 * '''Ontology evolution'''
   * simple skipinions ontology editor
   * update and synchronize ontologies (and facts!) on peers

== Implementation details ==
 * '''Facts/graph synchronization''' idea
   * every peer implements
     * {{{String getDiffForNamespace(String namespace, String haveHash, String wantHash)}}}
     * {{{String getMostCurrentHash()}}}
     * {{{String isValid(String hash)}}}
     * {{{String getPubkey()}}}
     * {{{? subscribe(?)}}}
   * logic: once a day, every machine dumps its 'own' facts to an NTriples file along with a timestamp and the data's hash
   * when peers call {{{getDiffForNamespace()}}}, a diff from ''haveHash.dat'' to ''wantHash.dat'' is calculated and sent
   * Distributed Storage
     * simple distributed storage (without signatures) with trust can be implemented usind {{{getMostCurrentHash}}} and {{{isValid}}}
     * distributed storage with signatures can be implemented with {{{getPubkey}}} (using a true keyserver might be desirable though)
     * optimized push synchronization could use some subscription mechanism. Integrate with [http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0060.html XMPP pubsub]?
   * Ontology evolution/rules
     * rules that upgrade existing facts could be added to the diff file

== Done ==
 * '''Internal namespaces for ontologies''' ({{{xmpp://schwarz@xmpp.km.opendfki.de/ont/ludopinions#UsesDice}}})
   * this way people can create own ontologies, and ontology management/evolution can be done similar to facts synchronization
 * Play sounds from !JavaScript: http://www.schillmania.com/projects/soundmanager/
 * show number of (existing) feature instances for each item (in !ItemPane) - metadata certificates
 * show number of feature instances for each feature class (in !FeaturePane) and arithmetic mean/standard deviation for applicability - metadata certificates
 * red/green blobs
 * RDF importer that changes namespaces
 * FloriansDiplomaThesis topics (Jul-Dec 2008)
   * related work: Semantic audio - [http://www.semanticaudio.org/htmls/publications.html List of publications]
   * finish skiptrax ontology (see [http://musicontology.com/ Music Ontology])
   * metadata importers/exporters (ID3, LastFM, etc.)
   * expert recommender (ask friends about people having knowledge about X/interests in Y)
   * scalable trust metric
   * fast computation of feature summaries
 * '''User interface'''
   * Plain HTML pages for item/feature instances, just for browsing and linked data
     * For ''Person instances'': Trust, feature(types) I (dis)agree with, last annotations, list of annotated items (by date/...)
     * For ''Item instances'': Review stats, list of annotators (by degree of agreement), list of feature instances (by date/...)
     * For ''Feature types'': Comment, example positive/negative item instances (by number of annotations), experts for this type, dispute list (for the current item), list of instances (for the current item)
