"So how do we make this work in an internet-enabled collaborative

and I wonder about candidates for hosting a globally accessible and low 
barrier registry to avoid clashing namespaces. I have been thinking about 
this in terms of trust networks and the use of FOAF (Friend Of A Friend), 
and have been turning to the Open Directory Project (ODP) 
<http://dmoz.org> for  subject URIs (see example at the end). The CiteSeer 
project is pretty amazing, and is very citation-centric, but they have 
been dealing with a lot of system load issues. I also wonder if OCLC might 
also be a possibility, they do something like this for Names already, for 
example: <http://errol.oclc.org/laf/nr2003-18130.html>.
