	Metaweb - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	MetaWeb Proof of Concept
		Although metaWeb users are not required to use this gateway to access their individual pages, it provides a single universal resource locator (URL) that may be used by all metaWeb users, instead of requiring that each remember a unique URL.
		MetaWeb's greatest strength, as well as it's chief weakness, is the fact that it is an HTML and CGI-based application.
		metaWeb must be able to modify any page on a site with a modicum of effort (on the part of the end user, that is.) It must remain secure, and it must give the web administrator the freedom to incorporate many different types of document within the site.

	BSCW related Papers (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		MetaWeb applications create their own events and send them to sessions, specific users or to the system in general (for anyone interested).
		Sessions in MetaWeb define a logical scope for event propagation through a scheme of simple implicit interest registration: an event that is sent to a specific session will automatically be sent to all session members by the MetaWeb server.
		Upon receiving a BSCW event from the BSCW kernel, the agent puts it into the body of a new MetaWeb event and delivers it to the MetaWeb event server, which is then addressed to the ``BSCW awareness'' session for the location representing the workspace in which the event occurred.

	Software Asset Diligence - a new service from Metaweb (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Metaweb today launches a new technical diligence service aimed at venture capital decision makers - and at anyone wanting to get the correct price for the software assets of a 'dot-bomb'.
		Metaweb does not attempt an exhaustive examination - that would be expensive but also usually prohibitively time-consuming.
		Metaweb has recently systematized its process and methodology for performing all types of software asset diligence.

	CRPC Integrates Distributed Computing with Web Technologies
		There are at least two natural extensions of this work, MetaWeb and WebFlow, which implement coarse-grain software integration and are insensitive to the modest bandwidth and high latency of geographically distributed computing and current HTTP Web servers.
		They are designing their new system, MetaWeb, as a cluster or MetaComputer management system built on top of Web servers.
		MetaWeb includes load balancing, fault tolerance, process management, automatic minimization of job impact on user workstations, security, and accounting support.

	Quicksilver Is Published! And then there was the wiki . . . \| Kairosnews
		But the main reason for the post, and something to be included in the "Way Cool" category for Stephenson fans, is the Metaweb, a wiki which will contain annotations of the novel.
		But see, Stephenson's explanation, in the quote, seems to make it clear that their needs to be "a seed" for this MetaWeb, as if it doesn't yet exist, and at some point, it will extend beyond just a FAQ or collection of annotations for Quicksilver.
		Unless, of course, it's somehow related to the idea of the Metaweb as "a collaborative structure for learning," as stated on the main page.

		Metaweb intends to develop the GIS sector to bring the full potential of geospatial technologies to the 'extended enterprise' B2B and location-sensitive B2C web markets.
		Metaweb Ltd. was founded in 1995 as a centre of Internet computing expertise, focused on applying state-of-the-art methods and technologies to provide solutions for business.

	Project Page: Metaweb
		The Metaweb is a system that will allow users of the Internet to locate and efficiently use information on health and other topics.
		The goal of the Metaweb is to enable people to make more productive use of the wide array of information sources available to them online.
		The Metaweb would adjust to the particular needs and characteristics of individual users, for example by identifying content appropriate to someone new to a subject or to a technical expert in that area as needed.

		One technique which has been espoused for the last three years is the application of a standard set of metadata, such as the Dublin Core.
		Dublin Core metadata may be created for use by the software using two Australian tools: a metadata editor called 'Reggie' available at http://metadata.net/dstc/; and a site generator which automatically generates six of the fifteen elements in a pre-specified Web directory.
		Although the MetaWeb Project is formally over, the project's partners - the Australian Defence Force Academy, Charles Sturt University, the Distributed Systems Technology Centre, and the National Library of Australia - are assisting Australian subject gateway projects to adapt the tools for their own quality resources.

	Metaweb -- Monday, April 26, 2004
		The Metaweb is the coming "intelligent Web" that is evolving from the convergence of the Web, Social Software and the Semantic Web.
		This is similar to the human brain -- individual neurons are not particularly important or effective on their own, rather it is the vast networks of relationships that connect them that encode knowledge and ultimately enable intelligence.
		And like the human brain, in the future Metaweb, technologies will emerge to enable the equivalent of "spreading activation" to propagate across the network of nodes and arcs.

	Metainfo MetaIP and Sendmail Vulnerabilities
		The problem is that the MetaWeb server doesn't restrict you to the root directory.
		For instance, the default MetaWeb server root for Sendmail is c:\sendmail\web.
		The MetaWeb server allows the running of NT batch/CMD files (this is how some of the Sendmail remote configuring works); if an attacker was to upload or produce a standard NT batch file, he could run any program he wishes.

	voice of humanity: Blogosphere Review and the MetaWeb Concept
		I call it the MetaWeb; it is a simple, highly extensible idea for building a peer-to-peer web on top of the web, implementing among other things, the instant blogroll by category and the stigmergic ant trail in a big way - see too this article.
		Of course we will want to mark the link trail stigmergically, and that means either a color scheme for links or possibly the adding of small gifs next to each link to indicate the average rating received by the page linked to.
		My thought, not fully developed at this point, was that MetaWeb entrances would correspond to particular leaf node categories in the voh hierarchy, and that tagged weblog entries would be imported into the current category.

		Even though it's taken me ages to read, I've been flogging it to friends and unsuspecting airplane seatmates alike for making the Enlightenment "moment" a believalbe mishmash of genius, imperialism, alchemy, luck, and, well, confusion.
		My own view of the Metaweb is pretty straightforward: I don't think that the Internet, as it currently exists, does a very good job of explaining things to people.
		Metaweb seems to be a kind of instance of this.

		One of the many cool things about the Metaweb is that it functions as a vast bottom-up collaborative filtering system.
		Already the Metaweb is thinking thoughts that no individual can comprehend -- they are too big, too distributed, too complex.
		If this kind of thing works, the energy will be coming from tapping ubiquitous fields that mainstream science simply doesn't believe in.
