Rdf

This weekend I’m at EuroFoo, and I’ve managed to find some happy hacking time. Jim Ley and Dan Brickley are around, and they’ve been nudging me into fixing up and releasing some old code.

Firstly, I have a bunch of old RDF photo annotation demos that had bitrotted quite badly due to…

I was thinking about scuttering and useful ways to gather information. It occurred to me that as well as following rdfs:seeAlso links as usual, it was worth scanning associated HTML for semantic links (eg FOAF autodiscovery…

I’ve had a proposal for a paper accepted for XML Europe 2004. Yay! Looking forward to meeting lots of old friends and making new ones in Amsterdam in April. Let me know if you’re going to be there. Here’s what I submitted:

Now available: the first source distribution of Chumpologica, the system behind Planet RDF and the Daily Chump Chumpologica.

Although source for an earlier version was previously available, this new version 1.0…

Having connected my GPS unit to my laptop, it was time to dump the data off into a usable RDF model.

There’s a useful RDF Interest Group Geo namespace for describing simple lat/long/alt properties of points, so using
PyGarmin I wrote some…

I gave a developer-oriented version of my semantic web “photos and metadata” talk at www2003 developers day. The slides are available online and there are a bunch of demos to look at.

The demos:

• Wordnet namespace entry for…

This morning I did my talk (A Semantic Web Shoebox — Annotating Photos with RSS and RDF) at XMLEurope 2003. The slides are now available.

The talk was scheduled amongst a fun-packed Semantic Web series of Celia Romaniuk (Soap Operas and the Semantic Web)…

I wrote an RDF crawler (aka scutter) using Java and the Jena RDF toolkit that spiders the web gathering up semantic web data and storing it in any of Jena’s backend stores (in-memory, Berkeley DB, mysql, etc). Download it here.
