[Sigia-l] That stuff we do, ontologically speaking

Hi all,

I'm making an ontology based on the work we IAs do, and would love
some help and comments. This first step really is typification of
pages only, albeit an important one. All pages are notated singular,
even when plural makes sense. Format is ;

   [type of pagetype]
      pagetype
      pagetype (comment)
      pagetype

Example ;

   [entry page]
      main (homepage)

This means that any page typed as 'main' has a parent type of 'entry
page', so if I make an main page called 'Home', the type hierarchy for
this page is 'entry page' -> 'main' -> 'Home'. The comment is that
this really is a homepage. Hope this makes sense, and if not, just
ask.

All of these are to explain the type of pages that go into any web
site / application, and the idea is to map these out as generic as
possible. Yes, there's going to be millions of things that aren't
going to be on the list as I'm aiming for a smaller generic set. What
sort of pages are typical i our daily work? Here's what I've got so
far ;

[entry page]
   main (homepage)
   index
   category
   section
   area

[utility page]
   contact (also exists under the [feedback page] section)
   about
   sitemap
   search

[communication page]
   news
   blog
   forum
   chat
   press-release

[featured content]
   article
   faq

[user-generated content]
   comment
   tag
   relation
   rating

[feedback page]
   Contact
   Feedback
   feed

[application page]
   login
   logout
   preferences
   profile
   customized index

[legal page]
   Copyright
   End-user agreement
   Legal
   Privacy
   Accessibility


Thoughts, ideas and suggestions?


Regards,

Alexander (now in a much colder place than before)
