...a quick RDFization of:

PRESIDENTIAL STATEMENT DENOUNCING ROGUE IMPOSTER WEB SITE

For Immediate Release
September 4, 2001
PRESIDENTIAL STATEMENT DENOUNCING ROGUE IMPOSTER WEB SITE
8:10 A.M. EST


THE PRESIDENT: Good afternoon. Earlier today, I was briefed by my
National Security Advisor, Condoleezza Rice on the
emergence of a dangerous and detestable new presence on the World Wide
Web. On August 31st, as Americans were settling in to their extended Labor Day weekends,
a rogue and counterfeit web site masquerading as the official home page of The White
House was established on the Internet by parties as of yet unknown.


Rife with misinformation and grotesquely nefarious Anti-American
propaganda, the all-new digital outpost thumbs its nose at
the very notion of decency, shamelessly exposing its
ideological genitals to any and all unfortunate passersby - in broad
daylight no less - at the publically accessible
address www.whitehouse.gov.

This suggests a possible student project: make versions of this RDF file
to represent claims made by each of whitehouse.gov/net/com/org and show
how the aggregation of these claims might be accessed via RDF APIs and
query languages.

This is a revisit of my "web of distrust" scenario from, gulp, 3 years
ago; see msg to the skeptics list and 'RDF and mechanised skepticism'
piece:

If anybody wants to run a student project based on this, drop me a note...
