- 18 abstract "A significant boost on the path towards a web of linked, open data is the establishment and promotion of common semantic resources including ontologies and other operationalised vocabularies, and their instance data.Without consensus on these, we arehamstrung by the famous "n-squared"? mapping problem. In addition, each vocabulary has its own associated attributes to do with why it was developed, what purposes it is best suited for, and how accurate and reliable it is at both a content and technical level, but most of this information is opaque to the general community.Our theory is that it is the lack of socially-sensitised processes highlighting who is using what and why, that have led to the current unmanageable plethora of vocabularies, where it is far easier to build your own vocabulary than try to find a suitable, reliable existing one.We therefore suggest that there is considerable value in the development of an online facility that performs the function of providing a space listing vocabulary and ontology resources with their associated authority, governance and quality of service attributes. Presenting this in a visual form and providing pivotable search facilities enhances recognition and comprehension.Additionally, and critically, the facility provides a focal point where discourse communities can make authority claims, rate vocabularies on various parameters, register their commitment to or usage of particular vocabularies, and provide feedback on their experiences. Through social interaction, we expect the most solid and useful vocabularies to emerge and form a stable semantic platform for content representation and interlinked knowledge.Our strategy is to become sufficiently enmeshed in the native information habits of people and their derivative institutions to reveal and collect their standards-seeking needs and activities with a minimum of effort on their part.This paper describes a pilot facility testing the theory above. Dubbed "n2Mate"?, it is a novel exploitation of social networking software to provide a lightweight and flexible platform for testing the efficacy of leveraging social networks to link existing registers and 'seed' an information space focussing on the use of standards in online information management.The paper uses examples from the Australian context to provide clear illustration of the central arguments.".
