StructuredBlogging.org and universal tagging

StructuredBlogging.org launched recently. The idea behind the non-profit initiative is to post information when blogging with microformats-compatible semantic syntax.

The project provides plugins to represent microcontents on blogs. Those contents also could be converted to several formats like RSS 2.0, Atom and RSS 1.0. The formats it used will be mapping to common seen file formats like FOAF, iCal, etc.

TechCrunch has the idea to decentralized review aggregation. In order to achieve that, the information on blogs must to be understood by machines in syntax. Once information on blog is in syntax way to represent, search engines will be more effective and more accurate on their jobs. And also, a simple but working semantic search engine will be implemented easily.

In fact, I'm more like to see the univeral tagging system. Given a microformats like format called tag used to tagging arbitrary information on webs, different tagging on various sites will be integrated and interoperable.
