Well, http://contentlabel.org is the answer. This is an industry portal I'm putting together, where you can create new codes of conduct that are specific for your industry/country. I get contacted from time to time by country specific associations and even EU projects to help them better understand how to setup 'machine-readable' trustmarks, so this can help them also. So, we will publish our vocabulary on it shortly and you can then use or modify it for your own requirements. I'd simply like to ensure that specific things are standardised [1] and [2] so we don't have interoperability problems in the future. No commercials involved :-) [1] http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/wcl/wcl-charter-20060208 [2] http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/wcl/XGR-wcl/Overview.html [3] http://www.w3.org/PICS/ The WCL project is now moving onto a full recommendation track. It will be proposed as a replacement for PICS [3]. PICS is the old W3C recommendation that Internet Explorer uses for filtering content.

Hi Paul, In the Sidar Foundation we are developing two connected projects to each other. One of them is the social network of accessibility review, that has a system of "trust". The other is a semantic searcher that provides the results indicating the degree in that the resources are near to the needs and preferences of the user. This last one is supported partly in the first, but not only in it. For that reason it interests to me to know the reach all "labels" existing. So, evidently we are working in similar projects. And I hope that we will can collaborate.

It *is* definitely a great idea. Now if it can be put together with matching profile instances (at the client), as discussed in other posts on this thread, it will really rock. [PW] We'll build a preference page within the extension which matches whatever this group comes up with. So, users can filter out search results that don't contain sites which are accessible to them personally. Anything we do in this respect will be run by this group - either on the list or from the site. Whichever the group prefers. Individuals are very welcome to contribute off list. I just need to put a roadmap together for the extension - will do it tonight :) I agree the point that *some* of this processing is best done behind the search server, but as a way to get from where we are to a place where the notion is implemented by google and others I think its great Paul. [PW] Well, the guys we've got working on it are *the* experts in browser technology. How it reads labels needs to be tweaked quite a bit and we'll take on board all the advice we get! Once we've implemented some core functionality we'll be open to ideas regarding additional stuff to make it more appealing to a wider audience, such as developers and testers. BTW, the little icon that's displayed beside each search result can also be added to every outbound hyperlink on every page on every Web site. We've decided against it for various reasons but it should demonstrate the stuff that can be achieved. Thanks for the positive feedback, it's nice to know that some of the things we've been working on are on track :) Paul -- No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
