App Log defines a background idea of providing Web Log-like views (native and via RSS) of any Web App (or other app?) where chronology has any relevance.

Here's a slightly weirder idea, going further into Application Integration.

(Kinda like a Re ST/Web Services approach to loose user-focused integration - only not for automated transactions requiring perfect mapping aka Semantic Web, but for local links for humans jumping from app to app (where some failure is acceptable).)

(Should this be called Semantic Wiki? Probably not.)

Each app tends to have key objects/entities that a user would like to refer to. Use a Smashed Together Words model to define a Canonical Url for that object within that application

Use an Inter Wiki Map model to define a distinct Name Space for each of those apps. (Maybe that makes it Inter App Wiki.)

As a baby-step, there is some benefit to at least supporting a Remote Wiki URL model for linking to a recordId in a remote app.

As this increases the perceived integration of multiple Web App-s, it may raise the importance of converging toward a Smart Ascii standard...

Me too, I am a fan of the simplicity of the Wiki Name Space. But I guess the only reason it is needed is because we are still dealing with the row/column model of Plain Text. And this will not lead us anywhere Really Useful.
