This service helps you to find co-references between different data sets. 2010-03-10T21:18:02Z http://linkeddata.jiscpress.org/ This Linked Data Horizon Scan was commissioned from Paul Miller of the Cloud of Data by the Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC). The work was intended to provide an overview of current developments with respect to Linked Data, and to make a series of recommendations to JISC and the wider community 2010-03-02T10:38:57Z http://code.google.com/p/linked-data-api/wiki/Specification The API is intended to be a middle-ware layer that can be deployed in-front of a SPARQL endpoint, providing the ability to create a RESTful data access layer for accessing the RDF data contained in the triple store. The middle-ware is configurable, and is intended to support a range of different access patterns and output formats. "Out of the box" the system provides delivery of the standard range of RDF serialisations, as well as simple JSON and XML serializations for descriptions of lists of resources. The API essentially maps parameterized URLs to underlying SPARQL queries, mediating the content negotiation of the results into a suitable format for the client. 2010-02-25T13:17:42Z http://www.lespetitescases.net/photos-livres-musiques-what-else Prototype né de l'envie de transformer en RDF les métadonnées ID3 embarquées dans mes fichiers MP3 et de les relier aux données du Linked Data 2010-02-22T17:51:33Z http://blogs.sun.com/bblfish/entry/web_finger_proposals_overview 2010-01-20T18:38:09Z http://www.snee.com/bobdc.blog/2010/01/federated-sparql-queries.html 2010-01-20T18:24:57Z http://blog.dbtune.org/post/2009/10/27/Music-recommendation-and-Linked-Data 2009-11-12T13:58:14Z http://www.snee.com/bobdc.blog/2009/10/a-rules-language-for-rdf.html 2009-11-12T13:47:03Z http://www.snee.com/bobdc.blog/2009/09/appreciating-sparql-construct.html 2009-09-23T23:42:56Z http://sig.ma/search?q=francois-paul+servant 2009-08-27T14:28:50Z http://sig.ma/ 2009-08-27T14:27:04Z http://bnode.org/blog/2009/08/19/skos-dc-linked-data-semantic-tagging 2009-08-27T13:49:47Z http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bj7AbJ0ZYCk 2009-08-25T13:33:29Z http://www.thefigtrees.net/lee/blog/2009/07/constructing_quads.html 2009-07-08T16:41:31Z http://apassant.net/files/publications/these-apassant.pdf 2009-07-07T19:25:36Z http://apassant.net/blog/2009/07/02/technologies-du-web-s%C3%A9mantique-pour-lentreprise-20-th%C3%A8se-et-slides-en-ligne 2009-07-07T19:20:37Z http://www.snee.com/bobdc.blog/2009/06/searchmonkey-and-rdfa.html 2009-06-15T09:40:38Z http://bnode.org/blog/2009/06/12/commontag-too-complicated 2009-06-15T09:17:08Z http://apassant.net/blog/2009/06/11/commontag-easy-use-vocabulary-semantic-tagging 2009-06-15T09:15:44Z http://www.snee.com/bobdc.blog/2009/05/semantic-web-for-the-working-o.html 2009-05-28T23:35:47Z http://apassant.net/blog/2009/05/27/soutenance-de-th%C3%A8se-technologies-du-web-s%C3%A9mantique-pour-lentreprise-20 2009-05-28T23:33:21Z http://apassant.net/blog/2009/05/18/sparcool-supports-jsonp-callbacks 2009-05-20T23:51:32Z http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2009/05/introducing-rich-snippets.html 2009-05-13T22:19:46Z http://www.slideshare.net/LeeFeigenbaum/semantic-web-landscape-2009?type=powerpoint 2009-05-12T23:23:15Z http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/tim_berners_lee_on_the_next_web.html 2009-05-05T10:23:56Z http://www.openlinksw.com/weblog/oerling/?id=1550 2009-05-01T21:53:52Z http://sparcool.net/ SPARCool offers a way to run SPARQL queries about any URI that follows the Linked Data principles by calling a simple URL based on the http://sparcool.net/format/predicate[;l=lang]/URI pattern. 2009-04-21T13:05:21Z http://www.w3.org/DesignIssues/Evolution.html 2009-04-14T01:31:12Z http://www.w3.org/DesignIssues/Principles.html 2009-04-14T01:12:12Z http://hyperdata.org/taglia/ Takes all your bookmarks from del.icio.us, converts to RDF (using Tag Ontology), pushes into a Talis Platform store 2009-04-11T00:12:14Z http://www.slideshare.net/lespetitescases/lapport-des-technologies-du-web-smantique-la-gestion-des-donnes-structures 2009-04-06T15:00:59Z http://www.openlinksw.com/dataspace/oerling/weblog/Orri%20Erling%27s%20Blog/1434 2009-04-02T14:12:52Z http://www.snee.com/bobdc.blog/2009/03/querying-a-set-of-named-rdf-gr.html 2009-03-31T14:47:23Z http://www.sitepoint.com/blogs/2009/03/19/obama-groundbreaking-use-semantic-web/ 2009-03-31T14:29:46Z http://www.snee.com/bobdc.blog/2009/02/getting-started-using-virtuoso.html 2009-03-03T20:50:10Z http://www.thefigtrees.net/lee/blog/2009/03/named_graphs_in_open_anzo.html 2009-03-03T18:52:08Z http://www.openlinksw.com/weblog/oerling/?id=1471 1. mapping relational to RDF, where possible, is faster than triple storage;

Also, if the data changes or is retracted or is unreliable, one can end up doing a lot of extra work with materialization. Consider the effect of one malicious sameAs statement. This can lead to a lot of effects that are hard to retract. On the other hand, if running in memory with static data..., the queries run some 20% faster if entailment subclasses and sub-properties are materialized rather than done at run time. 2009-01-03T01:15:13Z http://www.openlinksw.com/dataspace/kidehen@openlinksw.com/weblog/kidehen@openlinksw.com's%20BLOG%20%5B127%5D/1497 Why Applications Are Like Fish and Data is Like Wine 2008-12-29T17:36:56Z http://www.openlinksw.com/weblog/oerling/?id=1498 2008-12-17T16:48:50Z http://www.openlinksw.com/weblog/oerling/?id=1504 2008-12-17T16:46:33Z http://www4.wiwiss.fu-berlin.de/bizer/d2rq/spec/20061030/#jena-assembler 2008-11-17T00:39:25Z http://blog.semantic-web.at/2008/11/10/umbel-dbpedia-futureweb-ecology-interview/ 2008-11-12T15:28:32Z http://danbri.org/words/2008/01/06/246 2008-11-07T13:11:13Z http://www.w3.org/History/1989/proposal.html 2008-11-04T13:58:23Z http://www.cs.vu.nl/~pmika/swc-2008/paggr-bnowack_paggr_2008_10_01.pdf paggr is an interactive application that simplifies the organization and integration of distributed web information.

Equivalent URIs are grouped into bundles which are themselves given their own URI. When an application wishes to find an equivalent URI, the CRS can be queried to retrieve the corresponding bundle. 2008-05-15T21:55:45Z http://blogs.sun.com/bblfish/entry/restful_web_services_the_book That's RDF for you. It's so simple I am able to explain it to people in bars within a minute. <br/>Here is an example, which says that my name is Henry: <http://bblfish.net/people/henry/card#me> <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/name> "Henry Story".<br/> Click on the URLs and you will GET their meaning. Since resources can return any number of representations, different user agents can get the representation they prefer. 2008-05-08T14:06:30Z http://blogs.sun.com/bblfish/entry/how_applying_xml_to_data 2008-05-08T14:03:26Z http://blogs.sun.com/bblfish/entry/foaf_enabling_an_enterprise 2008-05-08T14:00:38Z http://blogs.sun.com/bblfish/entry/bof_5911_building_a_web 2008-05-08T03:32:50Z http://www.restlet.org/ 2008-05-08T02:52:35Z http://www.openlinksw.com/dataspace/kidehen@openlinksw.com/weblog/kidehen@openlinksw.com's%20BLOG%20%5B127%5D/1343 2008-05-04T15:49:31Z http://www.openlinksw.com/dataspace/oerling/weblog/Orri%20Erling's%20Blog/1347 2008-05-04T14:49:00Z http://www.openlinksw.com/weblog/oerling/index.vspx 2008-05-04T14:47:19Z http://www.sitepoint.com/blogs/2008/04/22/www2008-beijing-day-1-linked-data-on-the-web-ldow-2008-workshop/ 2008-05-04T13:52:58Z http://fgiasson.com/blog/index.php/2008/04/20/exploding-the-domain-umbel-web-services-by-zitgist/ 2008-04-25T08:56:46Z http://apassant.net/blog/2008/04/22/attending-www2008/ 2008-04-24T10:29:51Z http://blogs.zdnet.com/semantic-web/?p=128 2008-04-24T09:48:13Z http://ben.adida.net/presentations/www2008-rdfa/ 2008-04-21T15:37:42Z http://blogs.sun.com/bblfish/entry/kiwi_knowledge_in_a_wiki 2008-04-17T13:14:31Z http://hinchcliffe.org/archive/2008/04/08/16627.aspx 2008-04-15T15:25:39Z http://www.ldodds.com/blog/archives/000330.html 2008-04-14T14:22:30Z http://blogs.talis.com/nodalities/2008/04/google_app_engine_and_the_joy.php 2008-04-14T14:19:08Z http://apassant.net/blog/2008/04/10/semwebcampparis-numero-2/ 2008-04-11T16:00:07Z http://bblfish.net/work/presentations/2007/BOF-6747.pdf 2008-04-08T20:37:31Z http://www.dajobe.org/2004/01/turtle/ 2008-04-08T14:36:59Z http://apassant.net/blog/2006/10/05/from-rss-to-sioc-using-sparql/ 2008-04-08T12:59:33Z http://www.dajobe.org/2005/04-sparql/ 2008-04-08T11:59:41Z http://journal.dajobe.org/journal/ 2008-04-08T11:48:41Z http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/ietf-http-wg/2008AprJun/0017.html 2008-04-07T22:43:27Z http://apassant.net/blog/2008/01/12/one-foaf-fits-all/ 2008-04-07T22:21:26Z http://www.snee.com/bobdc.blog/2008/04/rdf_and_social_networks.html Defining a vocabulary instead of a DTD is the low-hanging fruit...

As it seems that I forgot to write-protect the instance mentioned above, you can play with it if you like. You'll most probably encounter bugs, the built-in inferencer is still at alpha stage, and editing of consolidated bnodes is quite tricky to implement. I'll tweak things in a day or two. With Grawiki, I think I finally have (the start of) a tool that could work nicely for ad-hoc RDF editing and aggregation (it can import RDF and certain microformats).

Central to this API is a slot access function Alookup (f , s, G ): “given graph G , give me the values of slot s of frame f ”... This basic API can be extended by supporting a query language which allows complex access paths – expressed as regular expressions of slot names (i.e., RDF properties) – to be used in place of atomic slot names. 2008-01-01T23:26:27Z http://bnode.org/blog/2007/12/22/driftr-linked-data-browser-and-editor-screencast 2007-12-31T17:09:40Z http://dannyayers.com/2007/12/30/another-rdf-syntax Let a URI constructed like this: URIbase/ars?s=encodedURIs&p=encodedURIp&o=encodedURIo identify the statement: URIs URIp URIo 2007-12-31T16:25:18Z http://www.semanlink.net/files/2007/12/js-rdf-parser-ie-modifs2tabulator.zip Modifications made to code of tabulator-0.8-2007-02-01T16-43Z to have the javascript RDF Parser working with internet explorer 6 and 7.

D2RQ is a declarative language to describe mappings between relational database schemata and OWL/RDFS ontologies. The mappings allow RDF applications to access the content of huge, non-RDF databases using Semantic Web query languages like SPARQL. 2007-06-23T13:42:58Z http://fgiasson.com/blog/index.php/2007/06/20/zitgists-rdf-browser-browse-the-semantic-web/ 2007-06-22T23:12:29Z http://www.openlinksw.com/blog/~kidehen/?id=1224 Actual SQL to RDF Mapping Demo / Experiment 2007-06-14T21:51:49Z http://simile.mit.edu/mail/ReadMsg?listName=Linking%20Open%20Data&msgId=17937 2007-06-13T23:35:47Z http://simile.mit.edu/mail/ReadMsg?listName=Linking%20Open%20Data&msgId=17924 In order to map the Jamendo dataset to the Musicbrainz dataset, I developed a small equivalence miner.<br/>The main problem was that it was impossible to use literal lookup techniques for these datasets - many small bands have the same name, some are just represented in the jamendo dataset but there are some matching names in the musicbrainz dataset, etc.<br/>This equivalence miner does two things: it disambiguates and propagates equivalence relationships. Moreover, it works in a linked data style (the only input data it "needs" is a start URI). 2007-06-13T23:20:48Z http://simile.mit.edu/mail/ReadMsg?listName=Linking%20Open%20Data&msgId=17890 2007-06-13T23:16:50Z http://dev.uriqr.com/ "URI everything, and everything is cool", right? But where do you find the URIs if you're doing this on a small scale? We have a great opportunity to spread the Linked Data message if we help people to make their FOAF files Linked Data, we just need to give them the tools. <br/><br/> So, I created Uriqr (as in "eureka"), a simple little search engine aimed squarely at FOAF hackers and other RDF-aware people. It looks in a SPARQL endpoint of crawled data for any URIs rdfs:label'led or foaf:name'd with your search term(s). The results are then looked up against Sindice and ranked according to how many other documents reference them. This is cool when I want to get rid of some of the bNodes in my FOAF file, as it helps me decide which URIs to use for other people without having to look in their FOAF file. 2007-06-13T23:09:47Z http://www.zotero.org/ Zotero [zoh-TAIR-oh] is a free, easy-to-use Firefox extension to help you collect, manage, and cite your research sources.

You generate HTML pages by querying the triple store and inserting the bits and pieces into an HTML template. Now if you add eRDF or RDFa annotations to the HTML template, in a way that reflects the original RDF data, then by definition the annotations completely specify what data you need to populate the page. And the template itself therefore must be sufficient to extract all the required triples from the store.

It is about making links, so that a person or machine can explore the web of data.  With linked data, when you have some of it, you can find other, related, data.<br/> Like the web of hypertext, the web of data is constructed with documents on the web. However, unlike the web of hypertext, where links are relationships anchors in hypertext documents written in HTML, for data they links between arbitrary things described by RDF,. The URIs identify any kind of object or concept. But for HTML or RDF, the same expectations apply to make the web grow: <ol> <li>Use URIs as names for things</li> <li>Use HTTP URIs so that people can look up those names.</li> <li>When someone looks up a URI, provide useful information.</li> <li>Include links to other URIs. so that they can discover more things.</li> </ol> Simple. In fact, though, a surprising amount of data isn't linked in 2006, because of problems with one or more of the steps. This article discusses solutions to these problems, details of implementation, and factors affecting choices about how you publish your data. 2007-01-02 http://www.w3.org/TR/webarch/ This architecture document discusses the core design components of the Web. They are identification of resources, representation of resource state, and the protocols that support the interaction between agents and resources in the space. We relate core design components, constraints, and good practices to the principles and properties they support. 2006-12-31 http://leobard.twoday.net/stories/2879108/ If Personal Information Management is the main use of Personal Computers, why is then not part of the Operating System of the computers?

Our analysis reveals a significant overlap between the two formalisms. Inspired by the integrity constraints of relational databases, we define a notion of integrity constraints for description logics. We analyze different possibilities for defining the semantics of the constraints. Finally, we present several algorithms for checking constraint satisfaction for description logics with varying degrees of expressivity. 2006-12-16 http://www.thefigtrees.net/lee/blog/2006/11/semantic_web_technologies_in_t.html While we support the broad vision of a Semantic World Wide Web, we feel that there are great benefits to be derived from adapting semantic technologies for applications within an enterprise. In particular, we believe that RDF has several very appealing properties that position it as a data format of choice to provide a flexible information bus across heterogeneous applications and throughout the infrastructure layers of an application stack. <br/>I AGREE COMPLETELY 2006-12-01 http://www.pbs.org/cringely/pulpit/2006/pulpit_20061102_001174.html Implementing IPv6 will incur an infrastructure cost of around $200 billion, and that's just for the U.S....<br/>In the current addressing scheme, China received a very small number of IP addresses, and this was causing them a lot of difficulty...So they made a national decision to implement IPv6 and put in a good network design...Of course, the rest of the world is still on the old system and to communicate with China an address translation is needed. This is becoming a pain. Countries who want to do lots of business with China or who want to do lots of business through the Internet (India) are now seriously looking at their own IPv6 plans... <br/> China has done something very impressive and now others are taking notice. We (the U.S.) think we control the Internet, but China is proving otherwise. <br/> And what is happening in the USA? Well we have Net Neutrality. We have a telco rebuilding a national monopoly. We have Cisco and Microsoft working together on Network Admission Control (NAC). I can see a time in the near future when they'll try to charge me for every PC in my house. While China is building a national resource, our government is letting companies turn the public Internet into an expensive private toll road. <br/> But we'll move to IPv6, that's for sure, if only to make sure Halliburton has plenty of business. 2006-11-06 http://blogs.sun.com/bblfish/entry/aperture_to_the_semantic_web Aperture is an open source library and framework for crawling and indexing information sources such as file systems, websites and mail boxes.

The language contains a core upper ontology, defining basic classes for things, concepts, resources, persons, etc. and also stops at these basic entities. Extending the ontology definitions of classes and relations is possible by PIMO-domain ontologies. The core application area of the PIMO-language is to allow individual persons to express their own mental models in a structured way, the different mental models can then be integrated based on matching algorithms or on domain ontologies. 2006-05-10 http://dannyayers.com/2006/05/01/personal-gnowledge "one particular thing I believe they've got strongly right" (the notion that the individual user of the system will have their own personal ontology, derived from a handful of base terms.)<br/> The user creates describing properties on the go.

This separation will use a mapping of tags to and from RDF, showing how the context of tags (who, where, when made them) can be represented and preserved. There are multiple choices for modelling tags in this way which will be discussed along with their benefits and some of the unusual uses of tags will be considered as well as the different way that existing tagging services use tagging differently. The paper will also discuss methods of how to find the meaning of a tag – going from a tag to something a human can understand as a description, which may be evolving – in a decentralized, web friendly way.
