0.   Motivations

1.   Concepts

  • a webography is a structured list of  web resource descriptions and annotations, a webograph is a tool to help managing a webography
  • webography ::= {bill}; bill ::= (note | bookmark | post | email)
  • a webography may be partly public, partly shared and partly private - see our Iceberg Visibility Model

3.   How to use a Webograph: a typical scenario

  1. prepare your webograph, i.e. your "Personal Content Base" - PCB - where you will store bills attached to topics by creating a topic hierachy which will index your bills (the public "Top" topic, and the private "Trash" topic, are created - undeletable - by default)
  2. create contacts (i.e. expected readers) and contact groups (i.e. diffusion lists for your contacts) - a "Public" group is created by default; it will hold new registered contacts (i.e. identities of incomers wishing to be contacted by you) and contacts you no longer want to keep in any list. N.B. contacts you will create with valid email will receive automatic notification by email.
  3. create views for groups according to the "iceberg visibility model". Remember: if you allow a group to read a topic it will be able to read all its parent topics. Then
  1. continue on creating and storing new bills from Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird, to re-attach, detach or modify them
  2. start reading others webograph sites, and subscribe to whatever foreign topic you would like to link to one of your personal topic
  3. return to your own webograph site, see foreign topics and bills you subscribed to, then copy and modify them, according to the copyright/copyleft rules
