The site should be up and running within the next few days. Perhaps we’ll ask Santa Clause to officially launch it - we’re not sure if we’ll get him to deliver a keynote speech given his busy schedule though.
We’re working hard to get the theme right and the wiki up and running. Sam Sethi has volunteered to create the wiki but he’s busy getting his own blog up at present.
Please leave your details if you’re interested in participating and we’ll add your name to the list of contributors.
Our thanks go to Tom Raftery for getting the blog up and running - your work has just started ![]()

Paul - I’m intrigued. What is this concept please? Sounds something my readership would defintely find interesting.
If you need a hand on wiki - give me a shoult, i’ve used quite a few. There is one that can be templated to look like your WP blog.
If you’re looking for a complete blog/wiki/rss solution then I’d thoroughly recommend Blogtronix.

Hey Dennis,
Thanks for dropping by. The idea is to create a central resource for industry to create new codes of conduct that will help enable more trust on the Web. Thereby empowering users to find more information about a site without having to visit it.
Many people are talking about things that interest me – such as trust, relevance, filtering, standards and the Semantic Web. Content Labels enables all of the above!
This is something we’ve been working on for over a year and a half under the radar – so it’s time to get it adopted on a mass scale! Getting people like you talking about it is exactly what I’m after. In fact, let’s label your site so you can take screen shots for your own blog in search results! We’ve done this for TechCrunch UK (ouch), Tom Raftery and Read/WriteWeb is being done as I type. Robert Scoble is picking up on it too so I’m looking forward to sharing all of this with Rob.
Thanks for your very generous offer to help out – consider your offer accepted with open arms! I met Sam Sethi today (will write something on my new blog shortly). I don’t know much about wikis – does it make sense to split this up? Take a look at www.microformats.org – this is basically what we need.
I know you’ll want to get involved in the creation of a code of conduct for blogs anyway – whether you think it’s a good idea or not…
This site is open to all – but I’d like to get some really good people on board early to help get it going… I still need to reply to a designer who has volunteered to create a brand identity and set of iconography. Great start!
Cheers, Paul
Sam Sethi
ContentLabels will be a big news story in 2007. The big issue/discussion will be around the format. Right now CL is based on RDF and although this is sound technology which the W3C are keen to endorse and Firefox is a big advocate in their XUL platform … as ever it is the speed of adoption or in the case of RDF the lack of speed that will determine its ultimate value.
The aim of this blog is to seed the discussion and see what the community would like for common codes of conduct. i.e ecommerce, blogging, etc
The analogy to microformats is because the web community tired of waiting for the semantic web (RDF) decided to build a simpler, easier version to move things forward. A similar work could be started called MicroLabels which would be XHTML markup read by a parser like the one recently developed by Firefox and IBM called the operator.

Sam, I agree that the Semantic Web was/is slow moving - but the W3C recently formed the Semantic Web Education and Outreach special interest (SWEO) group to help dispel the myths surrounding the Semantic Web - one of them being that it’s all about RDF. It’s purpose is also to promote the benefits of the Semantic Web. I realise you weren’t saying otherwise, but I thought it was important to clarify things from my side…
What’s good about Content Labels is that it does everything that I think we need in terms of enabling search engines and browsers to identify sites that claim conformance to standards, best practices and codes of conduct – as with Search Thresher http://www.segala.com/searchthresher_wp/
So, I’d like to reiterate that the purpose of this blog is to create, debate, stimulate and standardise new codes of conduct. It doesn’t matter how whacky they may sound, let’s get them on the table to discuss further.
Discussion about the technical aspects of the Content Label itself is out of scope for this blog - let’s leave that to the W3C to ratify… If we find that the makeup of the Content Label can be further improved through indirect research, then by all means lets discuss it further. I don’t want this site to turn into a forum for the RDF vs XML debate! It’s not even going to be a Microformats vs Content Labels debate – although we do have a lot to learn from the Microformats site.
NB. I’m not going to comment on what I think about Microformats
I’ll knock something together for the About section as soon as I get a chance and you can help revise it for others to then review/revise as necessary.
Lastly, (in case we have any new visitors reading) you don’t need to be technical to contribute – non-techies may have great ideas about specific codes of conduct - the techies on the site can then create the Content Labels to go with the codes of conduct.
Paul Walsh
Dennis - I’d like to take you up on your kind offer to help set things up! Still on offer?
I’m about to kick start this off properly soon. Been busy migrating the Segala site to Wordpress.
We’ve got some other good guys on board so I’ll knock up a contributors page shortly.
