Con and Peter -- Spirit of Open Source

My favorite line from my LUG days was "Linux is not an operating sytem, Its a way of life", I knew that line felt right without knowing much about the guys who work day job as doctors and scientist and use keyboard as their paint brushes to "build" beautiful sculptures. I say sculptures because the output is solid and it hits you in 3D with beautiful dimensions. I didn't know of Con, Peter and many more who investigate genes and cure people in day job and play parts in softwares we love. This is what freedom means, this is probably what RMS fought to achieve and is still fighting for. I fall short of words to express my joy by knowing pleasure seeking human spirit, So lets keep it as pure as it deserves to be.

Con kolavis is a doctor and a important contributor to linux kernel
Peter wolanin is a scientist and a major contributor to drupal

And for all others out there, You are always appreciated and admired here :)

Thanks

Ontology of Folksonomy -- Am I being very ambitious ?

Abstract
Online content has become huge and is scattered all over the internet, data present is not classified properly and is not linked properly and hence not very easy to find. Current search engines search on the basis of keywords and only very few keep context in mind, Semantic web steps in to solve the problem by classifying data according to a set of rules called ontologies and establish relation between data. Ontologies are explicit in nature and some exist for the field of research, medical, Journals etc but this is unusable for a vast entity like world wide web as its not humanly possible to create ontology of everything manually.This makes semantic web difficult to come in mainstream web, It becomes important to have a engine which can classify incoming data with the help of seed ontology and its own metadata.
Folksonomy is a new phenomena in web 2.0 where people have started labelling their content with metadata usually called tags. This brings in human element and thus give some chance for contextual data to come in picture. My idea is to read these tags of the data and build a ontology/taxanomy on the basis of seed ontology/taxanomy where classification may not be perfect but will become automated and hence usable.
Drupal is an open source CMS which supports concept of taxanomy and vocabulary in its framework which I plan to leverage and extend it to build a classifier. This engine take data from various forums, community bulletins and portals like youtube, flickr etc and try to classify the data into existing vocabulary and establish relation between the data. Using the same technique I can also execute tag cleaning which simply remove data which doesn't fit in the class.

LETS DO IT !!

Header's Already Sent Warning/error

Very often you get this error on drupal and it happens more specifically after u have edited some file with php start and end tag.First of all this is a php error/warning message and has nothing to do with drupal but is often hard to debug in drupal coz of so many included files, this error is usually caused due to white spaces before the <?php tag ( you don't need a closing tag in drupal related code ). Sometimes your editor also adds a blank line after the closing tag and for that matter any whitespace will cause this error ..
