riese launched!

So finally we did it: Today we released the alpha version of riese, the 'RDFizing and Interlinking the EuroStat Data Set Effort'. Deploying linked-data using XHTML+RDFa is quite a new idea. We combined it with what we call User Contributed Interlinking, i.e. let user add semantic links in a Wiki-style manner. Check it out!

 

Btw, thanks Danny for your nice post on riese :)

Microsoft, RDF & OWL

Thanks to Danny I learned today that Microsoft and RDF have (from now on) more than the literal 'r' in common: In their Interactive Media Manager MS starts to utilise RDF and OWL ... I really gotta figure out what for ;)

RDFa news

As Mark pointed it out on his blog: RDFa is about to lift-off! Quick links:

Take a look at it and start playing around ;) 

 

Good news on SPARQL ...

As recently announced in Andy Seaborne's blog, SPARQL is now also capable of manipulating RDF graphs:

SPARQL/Update  is a language that takes the SPARQL style, and much of the grammar, and provides both graph update and graph management operations.

Kudos to Andy and Geetha!

RDFa applications

Two new RDFa applications are available:

Check it out ;)

Call For Participation: Programmers interested in SW project...

Quoting Kjetil Kjernsmo from the W3C SWEO IG

Many of you probably know allready, but I hope to spread this as widely as possible:

In the Semantic Web Education and Outreach Interest Group, we decided that an important part of spreading SW is to create useful applications that can make a difference to a lot of people, and so, we came up with this:

http://esw.w3.org/topic/SweoIG/TaskForces/CommunityProjects

The goal is to gather programmers allready interested in semweb
technology around a few projects. It is not a competition, like the Semantic Web Challenge, we just want to get the great minds together.

Please propose projects and spread the questionnaire to others that may be interested.

Tutorial on non-linear, interactive movie production

We invite anyone interested to look at

 http://www.ist-nm2.org/ShapeShiftedTV-tutorial/

where we'll give an overview on non-linear, interactive movie production.

Using RDF on the Web: A Survey

Lee Feigenbaum made an excellent survey on using RDF on the Web available.

RDF in HTML and Microformats

When Seth states that "[...] Microformats have succeeded here, allowing me to very easily embed metadata into XHTML.", I'd like to reply: You can virtually embed RDF into (X)HTML using RDFa; just as easy as that + you get: multiple Vocs in one place via namespaces, one-tool-for-all-formats, etc.

Want to try out? Go have a look at RDFa bookmarklets

Shape-Shifted TV: On Air!

This rocks: NM2 has been on air :)

Semantic Web Dissemination

Reading Tim Finin on SW patents I thought: Wow, the SW has grown up! BTW: I wasn't aware that Google was offering a search on patents. Now, just to give you an idea - when Tim reports that Google finds some 300 patents that contain "ontology", look at the following numbers:

  • SQL ... 616
  • HTML ... 1064
  • "web service" ... 626
