• Main Page - Wineformats - The purpose of this site is to describe and illustrate how wine information can be expressed using existing and well-defined microformats. It is our intention to use and leverage the microformat specifications wherever possible. This site will NOT be used to define new microformats for wine. Instead any specification work will be done through the microformat process.
• Xtorrent (for Mac OS X) -
• Code4Lib 2007 Feedback -
• OpenCongress - OpenCongress brings together official government data with news and blog coverage to give you the real story behind each bill.
• Link Fingerprints - This is a method of making an HTTP or HTTPS URL reference not only a particular resource, but a particular version of that resource, in a way that the fetching client can validate.

The description of “Link Fingerprints” caught my eye in relation to the OAI-ORE work, but my hopes were dashed. Not your fault ‐ you just copied the text from the website — but the part about “but a particular version of that resource” thought that maybe there was a way someone found to reference a particular representation (version) of a resource. Alas, it doesn’t, but the proposal was interesting enough to read on its own merits.
