Semantic Web

processes a #sparql query and returns formats including #json for google visualization api and exhibit - Mike Chelen from Bookmarklet

"We are happy to present Open Vocabulary, one of open source projects hosted by Knowledge Hives, that delivers Java API and REST API for managing knowledge organization systems. We use SKOS/RDF format to encode vocabularies that were not expressed before in RDF. The REST API enables browsing through the vocabulary space following publishing the Linked Data guidelines. You can start browsing from Vocabularies section." - Mike Chelen from Bookmarklet

it looks like semantic mediawiki? - Mike Chelen

We didnt work with them on this (other than to have some early meetings). I suspect they just copied and pasted... However, it can be extracted from our XML file of course. - Peter Binfield

"Timeline is a DHTML-based AJAXy widget for visualizing temporal information. This Drupal module is an integration for a JavaScript timeline widget developed by the SIMILE project. It works in a similar way as Google Maps but for time-based events. The SIMILE Timeline (and Ajax) libraries can be used from the SIMILE server or can be downloaded and installed into your (local) Drupal installation. This module provides a style plugin for the Views module that represents date information of nodes on a horizontal timeline display. It makes use of the Date module (if present) as source for temporal information defined on cck date fields of nodes." - Mike Chelen from Bookmarklet

"Views Datasource is a set of plugins for Drupal Views for rendering node content in a number of shareable, reusable formats based on XML, JSON and XHTML. These formats allow content in a Drupal site to be easily used as data sources for Semantic Web clients and web mash-ups. Views Datasource plugins output content from node lists created in the Drupal Views interface in a variety of formats - XML data documents using schemas like OPML and Atom, RDF data documents using a vocabulary like FOAF, JSON data documents in a format like Exhibit JSON, and XHTML data documents using a microformat like hCard." - Mike Chelen from Bookmarklet

"USGS and EPA are working together to provide scientists and policy-makers an easier way to integrate access to their large water-quality databases. A common suite of web services allow for the automated sharing of water monitoring data via a common format and terminology. Initial web services are now available. A web service is a computer-to-computer protocol that allows for the direct sharing of information. The services will provide the ability to combine data from USGS's NWIS and EPA's STORET systems. The services will produce data formatted according to the Water Quality Exchange (WQX) Outbound XML schema, which has been developed collaboratively by EPA and USGS. Applications such as internet portals can use the web services to access data from both NWIS and the STORET Warehouse without needing an authorized database connection." - Mike Chelen from Bookmarklet

made a basic YQL open data table for this service, see http://friendfeed.com/watergo... for example - Mike Chelen

these things are really long and detailed ;) - Mike Chelen

"RDF is a framework for describing Web resources, such as the title, author, modification date, content, and copyright information of a Web page." - Mike Chelen from Bookmarklet

Thanks for the reference. Interesting: a XSLT stylesheet handling a XSD document. I wonder if the complete XSD spec is supported. - Pierre Lindenbaum

how would it normally be done? found the site mentioned in the XML section on http://esw.w3.org/topic... - Mike Chelen

What do you mean with "normally' ? - Pierre Lindenbaum

"SKOS provides a standard way to represent knowledge organization systems using the Resource Description Framework (RDF). Encoding this information in RDF allows it to be passed between computer applications in an interoperable way." - Mike Chelen from Bookmarklet

"What I like * The prominent use of Named Graphs. If you import triples into the store you need to supply a graph id. Automatically another graph is created, a metadataGraph containing metadata statements about the first graph." - Mike Chelen from Bookmarklet

listing is usually available from http://data-gov.tw.rpi.edu/wiki... however the site seems to be having technical difficulties - Mike Chelen

"This video shows what it is already possible to achieve today with Drupal 6 and a few RDF modules. Drupal 7 will ship with RDFa out of the box. More details on the making of the video at http://groups.drupal.org/node..." - Mike Chelen from Bookmarklet

"PPA for the Open Source Edition of the Virtuoso Universal Server from OpenLink Software. There is a lot of work yet to be done on this package, though it should already produce better results than building directly from upstream source. Once installed, browse to the pre-installed Conductor [1] application for the web administration interface." - Mike Chelen from Bookmarklet

I was told 6.0 had many quite relevant improvements, so installed from scratch instead... - Egon Willighagen

"SPARQL Explorer for http://dbpedia.org/sparql" - Mike Chelen from Bookmarklet

I tend to agree although I take an even more radical position - which is that we need the tools that will help local ontologies be created as needed - and ideally these tools could be attempting the integration problem by seeking out similar data and descriptions elsewhere (which may be useful for the end user) and solving the "cut and paste" problem one step at a time, probably with... more... - Cameron Neylon

I can't comment on your funding question, but I definitely agree with everything Karger says in his post with regards to identifier resolution. Let the chips fall where they may, mint different identifiers for the same thing, write incompatible ontologies, mix your semantics, put it on the web in any format you like. As long as it is there, we will sort it out. - Greg Tyrelle

"This is version 1.0 of the NCBI Brief Article DTD This DTD was written to accommodate the submission of simple articles into the NCBI Rapid Research Notes database." - Mike Chelen from Bookmarklet

And where does the ontological markup come from? - Egon Willighagen

xmlbase and property namespace files for example http://tw.rpi.edu/ws... from http://data-gov.tw.rpi.edu/wiki... - Mike Chelen

Egon: good question, had meant to post those links because are important - Mike Chelen

"This group was started at DrupalCon Barcelona 2007. It includes discussions on how to integrate the Semantic Web into Drupal and list the various effort of the community towards enabling RDF in Drupal." - Mike Chelen from Bookmarklet

csv2json, csv2rdf, sparql2json.php, xslt - Mike Chelen from Bookmarklet

"Best practices for using Semantic MediaWiki (SMW) with the following highlights: * Automated SMW installation: customized; recommended extensions * Tutorials * pre-populated pages: templates and forms; group management" - Mike Chelen from Bookmarklet

"Today's web is built predominantly for human consumption. Even as machine-readable data begins to appear on the web, it is typically distributed in a separate file, with a separate format, and very limited correspondence between the human and machine versions. As a result, web browsers can provide only minimal assistance to humans in parsing and processing web data: browsers only see presentation information. We introduce RDFa, which provides a set of XHTML attributes to augment visual data with machine-readable hints. We show how to express simple and more complex datasets using RDFa, and in particular how to turn the existing human-visible text and links into machine-readable data without repeating content." - Mike Chelen from Bookmarklet
