WikiPrefix

A WikiPrefix is a memorable shortcut to a wiki domain to make it easier to WikiWalk? or annotate Webpages via Wikipages in different Wikis.



E.g. With



Meatball=http://www.usemod.com/cgi-bin/mb.pl?



we could refer to this page as Meatball:WikiPrefix from an external server that supports it.
This would be very useful for an AnnotationWiki or at least for a WikiAnnotationMediator.





How does this idea differ from the existing InterMap facility?






Thank you for this question. Namely in this way we can bring it to a broader focus via the DiigoService.
The author uses WikiPrefix as:





• a handy abbreviation for the syntax of global wiki URL page naming like this: Wikiprefix:pagename. Compare this to: Intermap:pagename. (Intermap points to a concept, wheras WikiPrefix is a dummy for the prefixed URL string to concatenate with pagename. Forgive the author for not using here a more formal definition in BNF. )
  
• a term that flows better with text: "What is the prefix of your favorite wiki?" Can you give me some WikiPrefix 'es, where the wiki term xyz or [xyz] is discussed?"
  
• an easier to remember shortcut for Wiki Identification. (Once the author proposed, that each Wiki should have its WikiPrefix on each of its pages. What a shame, that the first and original Wiki had/has(?) different WikiPrefix es in different communities: wiki, wikiwiki, c2, WardsWiki, TheOriginalWiki? ;-) On the other hand look at the right upper position of each page of this Wiki and you can see the WikiPrefix meatball.
  
• a tool for WikiBranding?
  
• a profiling tool for helping the social annotating communities to easily associate Wikis with their special topics of interest (this helps to profile wikis and attract just those people who are in best resonance). -- FridemarPache
  




'Note:'
This page is DiigoService ''d. (socially bookmarked, blogged, annotated, archived )
The author recommends to annotate it for faster input.

Part 1: What collaborative tools are we using?




• wikis
• blogging and Flashmeeting
• learning with your students
• working from home via a wiki
• pooling expertise from practitioners
• unlocking web 2.0 tools
• using diigo
• Exc-el, Edubuzz and Glow
• podcasting and making links with New Zealand via Skype
• using David Warlick's Class Blogmeister
• asking the LEA to unblock web 2.0 sites

PS.:

{ To test, if collaboration by annotation works at this early state in the history of social annotation, the author

DiiGo
> and
TrailMark
>
this page. He asks his peers in Wiki
>,
DiiGo
>
and
> TrailFire:


• c
  an somebody show him how to embed videos i
  >n
  DiiGo
  >
  or
  >
  
  FireTrail
  >
  >
  annotations (or better)
  >
  
• 
  can somebody continue his work by making the wanted video enhanced annotation on this page
  >
  [AskDiigo]
  >
  [AskTrailFire]
  >
  [AskWiki]
  >
  
• can some DiiGo please suggest to the programmers of DiiGo, to offer movable annotation markers, because, you can see, that changes in the marked text break the static annotation markers apart
  
• in case, if there is an option for floating annotations, please leave an answer under the tag [AskDiigo]
  
• as an incentive the author asked this question in AskYahoo? too.

(Work in progress)



DiiGo videos
with embedded annotations, where the listed videos are embedded in DiiGo annotations





• Diigo: Free Tool to Highlight, Annotate, Bookmark Websites {at this moment the author still doesn't know how to do the embedding, so the initial author of this growing page, gives you a [direct link first]. :-) }
  
• Highlight and Annotate Websites Using Diigo 1 {[a second direct link]}
