Linked Data
Get flash to fully experience Pearltrees
Progress in communications technology has ben characterizsed by a movement from lower to higher levels of abstraction. When, first, computers were connected by telephone wires, then you would have to run a special program to make one connect to another. Then you could make the second connect to a third, but you had to know how to use the second one. Mail and news would be passed around by computters calling each other late at night. Email addresses for a while contained a list of computers to pass the message through (timbl@mcvax!
Abstractions in Web architecture - Design Issues
We've been trying to explain partial understanding since at least as far back as the 1998 Extensible Languages note, but the The Fate of the Semantic Web report from Pew still reflects the perception that the Semantic Web will never work because it requires global agreement on one big ontology. He points out that people don't go "Eek! I won't eat that! I can't make sense of those numbers at the bottom."
Linked data: it's is not like that; it's like a bag of potato ch
Sharing and exploiting knowledge sources is vital to the domain of agriculture, food and living environment or Quality of Life in general. Public information should be available freely. In particular if this information is formalized along the lines of the Semantic Web , or as Linked Data , direct electronic access can have a strong impact on innovation in this area. The objective of wurvoc.org is to publish vocabularies and associated web services relevant to this domain.

Linking Slideshare Data I love Slideshare.net . It’s great after an event or conference to be able to go back and go through slides to jog my memory or to be able to get a bit of glimpse of a talk that I didn’t get to attend. Plus, I like the fact that it makes it easy to embed slides into a blog post like this one. Moreover, slides provide a concrete artifact artifact of an event as well as the outcome of many processes. Thinking about that I thought it would be good to easily mash-up slide metadata with other Linked Data .

We think Slideshare.net is cool. For a while, we provided a service that exposed metadata about these slides as RDF. In the meantime, slideshare now supports the Open Graph Protocol for acquiring structured data. In the future, we may investigate more ways of extracting RDF from slides.
Why Carry the Cost of Linked Data? – Tom Heath’s Displacement Ac
June 16th, 2010 by Tom Heath In his ongoing series of niggles about Linked Data , Rob McKinnon claims that “ mandating RDF [for publication of government data] may be premature and costly “. The claim is made in reference to Francis Maude’s parliamentary answer to a question from Tom Watson .
European Union starts project about economic effects of open gov
Earlier this week I talked to writer and open source advocate Marco Fioretti , who has just announced the start of a study on open data for the European Union . Fioretti is a long-time supporter of open source software, which he wrote about in a chapter of the O'Reilly book Open Government . Fioretti also held a seminar about open and prorietary formats at Pisa's Sant'Anna School of Advanced Studies, a major European college in the field of economics. Several problems impelled Fioretti to propose this study: Government claims are hard to verify. When the cost of the huge Strait of Messina Bridge project is announced, for instance, how can the public determine whether it's reasonable?
What Is The Semantic Web? Essentially, the semantic web marks a move from a global web of human readable documents (web pages), to a global web of machine readable documents ; so that machines can automatically interpret the meaning of data on the web; what to do with it, and how to represent it. Where Do I Start? This site exists to give you the tools, and the know-how, to start using the semantic web yourself in your everyday tasks.

DataLift: Un catalyseur pour le web de données
Malgré mon optimisme naturel, la polémique monte sur la capacité de l’APIE à développer l’accès aux données gouvernementales en tant que service public. Robin Berjon a récemment mis en garde contre un modèle cherchant à en monétiser l’accès. Cela rajouterait en effet une barrière considérable à l’innovation nécessaire dans l’exploitation de ces données.Djubby is a Linked Data frontend for SPARQL endpoints for the Django Web framework, adding a Linked Data interface to any existing SPARQL-capable triple stores. Djubby is quite inspired by Richard Cyganiak's Pubby , and with the exception of the HTML style, all the code has beed written from scratch due the many differences between languages (Java vs. Python) and the frameworks (JavaEE vs. Django).
