Scripting for the Semantic Web Workshop!  
Tuesday, January 29, 2008, 03:16 PM - Semantic Web
Once again we organise a scripting workshop at ESWC this summer. The CFP is making rounds on mailinglists as we speak.

Have a look at the Scripting workshop page and submit a paper before the 7th of March! As usual there will also be a scripting challenge - details coming.

If you need more motivation, look here :)

QOTD - On FOAF & SW  
Thursday, January 17, 2008, 09:03 AM - Semantic Web
Good lord, you actually have content there. Sweet Zombie Jesus, it's like if MySpace was irradiated with XML-Rays and mutated into a complete XML-based social network specification [xmlns.com], which requires everyone to write their own specifications and hand-edit XML files.

That's just ... scary.


- about KjetilK's FOAF file in the Slashdot discussion about SPARQL being made a W3C Recommendation.

The global graph

A new year, a new post - perhaps I will also post one in 2009 :)

The new year seems like an arbitrary point to update/fix/tidy a few things so I moved all my emails from INBOX to INBOX_OLD and I can see how long before it goes back to 2000 unfiled emails. I will also update my web-page in the next few days, however, since I use RDFHomepage this requires first updating my FOAF-self. Enter Alex Passant's Flickr FOAF/SIOC Exporter and Matthew Rowe's FOAF Facebook exporter, and now I have RDF versions of my Facebook contacts and Flickr contacts! Both linked from my foaf using rdfs:seeAlso.

I realise that publishing the Facebook IDs could be seen as giving up some of my friends privacy, but probably not more than putting your life on Facebook does in the first place.

Annoyances now include that the data is not smushed, some people are undoubtably in my FOAF as people I foaf:know, in the facebook export and in the flickr export, but without any unique key I could use to smush them. Also, the export was pretty manual, I even edited the files a bit to make sure the URLs for me were consistent, meaning I have to repeat it some interval (I guess every two years :)

SVG version of Semantic Web stack  
Tuesday, July 3, 2007, 01:12 PM - Semantic Web
A little while ago I needed nice versions of the Semantic Web stack(s) (Timbl used an updated version in some 2005 slides) to put in my thesis, and I knocked them up in Inkscape. Today I needed them again, and realised I never put them online, so here you go:


These are of course copyright/whatever to Timbl (maybe his slides are CC?) and you should cite him if you use them.

Updated: fix the page size for the 2005 version.
