Solvent Solvent Why do I need screen scrapers? Piggy Bank needs web pages to embed information in a format that it can understand. This format is called RDF (Resource Description Framework) and its main advantage is that makes machine processing a lot easier. Unfortunately, at these very early stages, not many web pages embed or link to such "purer" RDF information. In short, screen scrapers allow you to turn a regular web page into a regular web page plus semantic data, and thus frees the data from the page/site that contains it. How do I use it? Watch a screencast of Solvent scraping the location of Starbucks coffee shops in Cambridge, MA and then use Piggy Bank to show the scraped data on a map. Also read the Piggy Bank screen scraping howto that uses Solvent to write a screen scraper for Piggy Bank. There is another tutorial about using Solvent to scrape web pages containing data about baseball players. What are the main features of Solvent? Where do I find other scrapers to learn from? Credits

SIMILE Project DBPedia and JQuery I was wondering if I can develop and app using DBPedia as well as JQuery ajax. Since most of the people out here were looking around for a simple demo application where they can utilize the power of semantic web to get some interesting data as well as some easy way to do so.After this tutorial I guess you will have a fare idea to start to build your first semantic web app. So I came up with a small project called “ Know India “. This project concentrates on showing various information from different stated of India. We will get along with this entire tutorial and build a small application that retrieves information according the state selected and gives us the external links to that state and information about the famous people out there. Configuring the auto-complete as well as fetching the abstract. Fetching the External links for the states. Fetching the famous people, their pics and an abstract about them. Prerequisites for the above tutorial are as follows :- Basic knowledge on SPARQL.
