GREATEST AUSTRALIANS [-7au] OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY:

Compiled by Herald Sun, 11/3/99, from ten selections each, made by 35 prominent Aussies. Here catalogued with MapDot Protocol flags, by way of comment, by Bill Helem. You are invited to add to with famous lives and works of Australia or other nations or fields of achievement. You can use one of these as your SUBJECT OF FOCUS / "talking-point". The Category code is for the first named field of achievement bracketed, so you can replace the named person at that location with your favourite "hero" in that field. [* footnote ]

You must use the simple "mapdot" as prefix to flag your Web-page For an in-house database you could use nemonic abbreviations, that is, F&W.
[The Editor recommends proper names as keywords be in the natural order eg: Robin-Hood not Hood,-Robin, Dan-Brown not Brown,-Dan; Mount-Everest not Everest,-Mount, The-Hague not Hague,-The, Loch-Ness not Ness,-Loch] In my opinion, the excess of painters is because the 35 prominent Aussies who made this selection are mainly upper middle-class newly-rich]

*Footnote: Reverse engineering: Try removing "-8[biog-" and place it immediately in front of the keyword hero; then take that hero's name an place it in the "especially" brackets "-(...)"; then remove the original "works-of" text and place it where the keyword goes. You have swapped L&W for W&L; this flag will now be located in a different subject area on the cyber-space library-shelf -- not with biography. See: "mapdot classification code divisions" to find Flag.
