Extending Radio - giving it more KM features: As a future consideration - XFML - will allow groups of people to create a "community" & have a shared TOC across their posts for easy assimilation of postings across a group.
This is a very interesting concept - as is the whole liveTopics approach to adding value to Blogs in general. Take a look at their site - if you're running Radio - it's a great add-in as well - free for non-commercial use.
I have implemented liveTopics on my blog - experimenting with it now - as we speak... But so far - it's ALL good.
There are Google interfaces for searching based on a topic & creating title information in the top of a page so that Google can see these items & therefore rank the page according to these topics - the benefit being that your blogs are cross ranked to the topics that people are searching for. There was discussion on the Yahoo! Group about having the 5 hottest topics on a blog site in the title section so that it would influence Google appropriately to consider that site for material on these topics.
BUT - on to the good stuff on XFML...
Here's a quote from a posting on the liveTopics Yahoo! Group site - where the developer of liveTopics is discussing his possible approach for implementing this technology as well as soliciting feedback from users.
"For a little while now I've been looking at topic map formats for exchanging topic information generated by liveTopics. I'm looking for ways to enable new collaborative applications based upon liveTopics. One such topic map format is called XFML (which stands for eXchangeable Faceted Metadata Language) and I think it's going to be very interesting for us. For those of you for whom this is new territory an XML topic map is an XML document that describes: -topics (e.g. a liveTopics topic) -where they occur (e.g. you associate a post with a topic, so the post is an occurrence of the topic) -their relationships (e.g. "topic appears on a post" or "topic belongs to this theme")."
There is already feedback from a happy user of the existing XFML support - referenced in this post.
And if you go to this post - you'll see a way to see the benefits of sharing XFML files across users - a browesr interface that displays the results of an XFML export,,,
The author's blog is also extremely interesting & shows liveTopics in action as well for those interested in the technology in use.
Good blogging & KMing,
Marvin
