So, if only we could express these relationships, such as my social graph, in a way that is above the level of documents, then we would get re-use. That’s just what the graph does for us. We have the technology — it is Semantic Web technology, starting with RDF OWL and SPARQL. Not magic bullets, but the tools which allow us to break free of the document layer.
maybe the time for the semweb is finally ripe.
Don’t use RDF collections. Use one-to-many properties that result in “collections” instead.
geobloggers hmm, that is starting to look very rdf-like. via bergie
We have been developing a triple store called B, a very low level C library. One of its uses is as a backend store for redland. It’s quite a bit faster than the current backends
LJ is up to 15M accounts, and therefore that many FOAF files.
this seems quite clever. trying to infer some semantics from css rules. after all, a lot of sites already have interestingly named css classes, and any effort to gather more drive-by metadata is good
Graphs have limited value, even for many of the tasks which they are supposed to support. The harder question coming from this interrogation is how do we elegantly support the range of possible interactions both in pre-defined Semantic Web applications and in dynamic explorations of Semantic Web resources?? We have only sketched out some examples of current SW applications to support old tasks better and in new ways enabled by the Semantic Web, and to explore more dynamically SW-RDF resources for user-determined exploration. As is evident, much more innovative work is possible and needs to be done.
since the data model is a graph, the UI has to be, too, no?
according to timbl Vista will be using XMP (RDF inside) to store metadata about photos etc
a crack in the armor? 🙂
looks slightly more readable than RDF/XML, but that is a very low hurdle
software components produced by the IBM Advanced Technology group to support semantics throughout the application stack.
this is elias’ baby
