Through its ICRA division, the Family Online Safety Institute is playing a leading role in the develpment of “trusted metadata”. This takes many forms, including content labels and machine-readable trustmarks, all based on semantic web technologies. The Institute belives that such metadata has the potential to make a significant impact in areas such as trust, personalization, accessibility, security and child protection.
There are many threads to this work, including the QUATRO project, standardization efforts at W3C and initiatives such as the content label blog/wiki site. The practice of tagging photographs and websites, sharing bookmarks etc. is well established. New initiatives, such as RatePoint, support and extend this approach. The Institute is seeking ways to link user-generated tags with self-declared and third party descriptions.
This page offers information for developers interested in working in this space.
