Disco Hyperdata Browser The Disco - Hyperdata Browser is a simple browser for navigating the Semantic Web as an unbound set of data sources. The browser renders all information, that it can find on the Semantic Web about a specific resource, as an HTML page. This resource description contains hyperlinks that allow you to navigate between resources. While you move from resource to resource, the browser dynamically retrieves information by dereferencing HTTP URIs and by following rdfs:seeAlso links. News 04.03.2007: SemanticWebCentral provides another Linked Data browser called Objectviewer. 03.10.2007: OpenLink has published a new Data Web Browser which, like Disco, also enables you to browse Linked Data on the Web. 01.16.2007: Ivan Herman has written a Disco Bookmarklet. 1. The browser is a server-side application that can be used without installing anything on your machine. The screenshot below shows the browser user interface: You start browsing the Semantic Web by entering a URI into the navigation box. 2.
Peartrees: Multi-dimensional Curation A few weeks ago now, I posted an opinion piece on Technorati titled, 'Why Social Media Curation Matters'. Following this I received quite a lot of feedback and it’s thanks to one of these comments – posted by on my blog – that I was led to Pearltrees. In addition to this, I was also motivated to re-evaluate my position on the subject of curation and take a closer look at what I perceived that to be. At first I made the rather naïve assumption that the difference between Pearltrees and the services I’d discussed in my previous articles both here and on my blog, was purely aesthetic – Pearltrees has a beautifully designed Flash interface. Nonetheless, they are just lists. The answer can be summed up in one word, depth.
RDF Book Mashup The RDF book mashup demonstrates how Web 2.0 data sources like Amazon, Google or Yahoo can be integrated into the Semantic Web. The RDF book mashup makes information about books, their authors, reviews, and online bookstores available on the Semantic Web. This information can be used by RDF tools and you can link to it from your own Semantic Web data. Contents News 2009/07/17: GoodRelations support added. 1. The vision of the Semantic Web is to build a global information space consisting of linked data. The goal of the RDF book mashup is to show how Web 2.0 data sources can be integrated into the Semantic Web, meaning that Web 2.0 data can be browsed using generic RDF browsers like Tabulator and can be crawled and cached by Semantic Web search engines like SWSE, SWOOGLE or the Semantic Web Client Library, which will eventually make it possible to query the complete Web using the SPARQL query language. The book mashup applies these principles to Web 2.0 data about books. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
<rdfs:Class rdf:about=" Marbles Linked Data Engine <rdfs:Class rdf:about=" Resource Description Framework The Resource Description Framework (RDF) is a family of World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) specifications[1] originally designed as a metadata data model. It has come to be used as a general method for conceptual description or modeling of information that is implemented in web resources, using a variety of syntax notations and data serialization formats. It is also used in knowledge management applications. RDF was adopted as a W3C recommendation in 1999. Overview[edit] RDF is an abstract model with several serialization formats (i.e. file formats), so the particular encoding for resources or triples varies from format to format. This mechanism for describing resources is a major component in the W3C's Semantic Web activity: an evolutionary stage of the World Wide Web in which automated software can store, exchange, and use machine-readable information distributed throughout the Web, in turn enabling users to deal with the information with greater efficiency and certainty.

<rdfs:Class rdf:about=" Planet RDF <rdfs:Class rdf:about=" Generating RDF from data.gov - Data-gov Wiki From Data-gov Wiki Overview Many of the datasets in data.gov are available as tables (spreadsheets). This makes it easy to translate the datasets into RDF by generating a triple for each table cell where the row id is the subject, the column name is the predicate, and the cell content is the object. Our work adopted the following principles: In the first principle, we minimize our translation by (i) preserving the functional structure of the original tables and (ii) skipping additional understanding of the cell content. In the second principle, we keep the translated RDF friendly to Web users. Our third principle was approached by using a semantic wiki to host user contributed extensions. In our fourth principle we preserve knowledge provenance of the converted RDF documents by embedding metadata about their sources, creators, and creation date time using the well-known Dublin Core and FOAF vocabularies. The Problem Datasets at data.gov are organized in the following structure parse raw data
<rdfs:Class rdf:about=" Semantic desktop In computer science, the Semantic Desktop is a collective term for ideas related to changing a computer's user interface and data handling capabilities so that data is more easily shared between different applications or tasks and so that data that once could not be automatically processed by a computer could be. It also encompasses some ideas about being able to automatically share information between different people. This concept is very much related to the Semantic Web but is distinct insofar as its main concern is the personal use of information. General description[edit] The vision of the semantic desktop can be considered as a response to the perceived problems of existing user interfaces. Secondly there is the problem of relating different files with each other. Related to this a user will often access a lot of data from the Internet which is segregated from the data stored locally on the computer, being accessed through a browser or other programs. Standardization effort[edit]
