Project Description The Open Data Movement aims at making data freely available to everyone. The goal of the W3C SWEO Linking Open Data community project is to extend the Web with a data commons by publishing various open data sets as RDF on the Web and by setting RDF links between data items from different data sources. RDF links enable you to navigate from a data item within one data source to related data items within other sources using a Semantic Web browser. The figures below show the data sets that have been published and interlinked by the project so far. Clickable version of this diagram. Project Pages The project collects relevant material on several wiki pages. Meetings & Gatherings LOD Community Gatherings See Also Demos 1.

It has been tested to run on a machine of the following description: 600 Mhz Pentium III or faster, or a recent Mac 1024 x 768 pixel screen or higher resolution, 16 bit color Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP operating systems, or Mac OS X 256 Mb of RAM A fast internet connection No other memory-intensive programs running Microsoft Internet Explorer (5 or later) Netscape (6.2 or later) TextArc will often stop working the second time it is run in the same browser session. This is caused by the browser remembering parts of the program after it should have exited. The simplest way to run it multiple times is to STOP all browser windows, then come back and run it again. Note: TextArc will open a window that covers your primary monitor's desktop. Enjoy!

Introduction to Using Chart Tools - Google Chart Tools Google Charts provides a perfect way to visualize data on your website. From simple line charts to complex hierarchical tree maps, the chart gallery provides a large number of ready-to-use chart types. The most common way to use Google Charts is with simple JavaScript that you embed in your web page. You load some Google Chart libraries, list the data to be charted, select options to customize your chart, and finally create a chart object with an id that you choose. Then, later in the web page, you create a <div> with that id to display the Google Chart. That's all you need to get started. Charts are exposed as JavaScript classes, and Google Charts provides many chart types for you to use. All chart types are populated with data using the DataTable class, making it easy to switch between chart types as you experiment to find the ideal appearance. Ready to create your first chart?

A good number of journalists have already starting using Timeline JS and more are sure to follow. The catch to Timeline JS: there’s a bit of a learning curve with this tool and some HTML is required. After reading this post, you should have enough knowledge to start making timelines in Timeline JS. Let’s get started: Timeline JS can pull data from JSON and Google Docs. Google Docs is the easiest of the two, so that’s what we’ll use here. Start by opening the template here. Still with me? Time and Date: Headline: Text:
