London Mashup:

London Mashup: What's Next, Web 3.0?

I'm refering this article for the idea of content label.

Here is some excerpts.

So the idea is that lets say you have a website that talks a lot about football, has no adult content, is child safe and is in French. You can then create a Content Label describing all of these features, then you submit it to be certified. A third party authority will come along for a very small fee and make sure your content label is accurate, in relation to your site's content. The clear advantage of this is that, if it is widely adopted, we will for the first time have meta data relating to web content that is verified and can be trusted to a certain extent. Search engines can then use this to help rank sites, browsers can show only child-safe websites to children, french sites to french speaking people and so on and so forth.

Content Label is like the old meta data in HTML, the only difference is the certificate.
The third party check the accuracy of the Content Label.
It sounds like a web space tied with stronger connection of credibility and responsibility.
This could not be done purely in the technical world.
Governments should have corresponding policies for these.
I really wonder if there are ppl capable of noticing trend like this in our government and trying to show we care.
Sometimes we could show the quality of our country with attendence of events like these other than formal diplomatic ones.
