Freebase: Dispelling The Skepticism - ReadWriteWeb. Freebase, the first product of semantic web company Metaweb, is an open, semantically marked up database of information that we called one of the “10 semantic apps to watch” last year. With $57.4 million in funding, a smart team, and a tech legend in Danny Hillis at the helm, Metaweb is considered to be one of the most serious players in the Semantic Web space. Yet the company’s efforts to date have been met with skepticism. Particularly, people have asked how is Freebase different to Wikipedia? Jamie Taylor, the Minister of Information at Metaweb, spoke at the SemTech 2008 Conference that took place in San Jose last week in an effort to dispel some of that skepticism. What is Freebase? Jamie has an interesting title: Minister of Information, and his primary responsibility is to seed Freebase with information and ensure the quality of the data.

What is in Freebase Today? Freebase also contains lots of other kinds of data and has: Data Representation in Freebase Resources. Online Meeting Scheduler Doodle Offers Ad-free Premium Accounts. Despite the unfortunate name, Doodle is a dead-simple Web app for scheduling a meeting. In our experience, scheduling meetings is a chore, with the most common method to be just emailing around to solicit advice.

That's inefficient, and this single-purpose software as a service is one solution. Recently the service, which has been around since 2006 and is normally ad-supported, started offering premium accounts with greater customization and no advertising. Especially for enterprise customers, we don't normally recommend many apps that are so single-purpose. Relying on a growing array of SaaS services that each do one thing can be a huge impediment to productivity.

But to use most of the popular general-purpose tools available to schedule meetings with is a serious pain in the neck. In our test of the free version of Doodle, it took less than five minutes to set up a poll for meeting scheduling, and that seems like something worthy of being called simple. Mathieu - Google Wave.

Something worth sharing with everyone here I guess: I have written a Sesame 2 Windows Client in .Net. The Sesame 2 desktop client is a windows (.Net) application that can communicate with a (remote) Sesame 2 server, perform queries, add/remove data, and so on. It is somewhat similar to the Sesame Workbench application, but it has a couple of nice user-friendly options, such as implicit adding of namespace declarations to your queries, dynamic sorting of the query result, and a very useful class hierarchy / SKOS hierarchy viewer.

Here are a few screenshots: You can download it from sourceforge . Of and of course my thanks to the dotSesame people, whose work I've gratefully reused in this tool. ---------------------------------------- Researcher at AFSG - Wageningen UR.

Create Bullet Graphs with Google Charts in 7 Easy Steps UPDATE: We have taken this a step further with a gadget which will allow you to build these using data from a spreadsheet.

Check it out! Stephen Few’s bullet graph, was a welcome addition to the data visualization scene in 2005. Up until that point, displaying a single measure graphically usually involved the dial, gauge or traffic light metaphor. Since then, more visualization tools and business intelligence vendors have started to support bullet graphs. We’ll take take a look at how to create your own bullet graphs using the Google Charts API, using nothing but your browser, in 7 easy steps. (For those of you who don’t care how they’re made and want instant gratification, you can build your own bullet graph in the form below) Step 1: Meet the Google Chart API The Google Chart API allows anyone to create a chart image by calling a specifically formated URL.

You are probably familiar with common keyboard sequences like Ctrl-C to end a program, but there are dozens of useful shortcuts you can use in BASH to edit the command line, move around your command history, and control jobs. I've collected 18 useful Ctrl and Meta (Option) sequences to make you more productive in BASH. So grab your 'board and leave the wet suit at home, the water is warm this time of year. Command Line Editing BASH keyboard sequences come in two flavors, Ctrl and Meta. Ctrl sequences are straightforward, you hold down the Ctrl key while pressing another key. On a PC with Linux, the Meta key is usually mapped to Alt, but on a Mac, it is usually mapped to the Esc key. Since the Esc key is poorly placed for serious keyboarding, I suggest mapping the Meta key to the Option key.

To map Meta to Option in the OS X Terminal, use the menu and go to Terminal / Window Settings, select Keyboard in the drop down box at the top, and check 'Use option key as meta key'.

Social bookmarking pioneer Delicious (they recently turned five years old) pushed out a couple of updates to its Internet Explorer and Firefox add-ons yesterday, fixing a couple of bugs and adding some features. But it looks like Delicious has also integrated a useful feature they didn’t mention in the blog post announcing the updates: a brand new audio player to play your MP3 bookmarks inside the browser. TechCrunch reader Nicola D’Agostino spotted the new media player quickly, and he subsequently got a confirmation from a community manager of the Delicious team in the comments of the company blog post, adding that they’ll talk more about it soon.

Update: they’ve now blogged about the new media player on the Delicious blog as well as the Yahoo! Music blog. As our previous update below already suggested, the media player is in fact Yahoo’s FoxyPlayer. By using the “system:media:audio” tag, you can filter most views on Delicious to look for playable audio files. Enjoy. Tour : Forms.

Find Your Dream Home (or Fantasize) With Trulia Snapshot | Flowi. Trulia, the real estate search site, launched Trulia Snapshot today in collaboration with Stamen Design. It's a pretty mapping interface that lets you view pictures of properties on a map in a very interactive way i.e. it's fun to use and super fluid.

First, you type a location you want to find properties at. From there you can browse properties by newest/oldest or most/least expensive with the map or with the histogram at the bottom. If you just want to sit back and watch, press play and the real estate properties will highlight automatically by the order you've selected, and the map will move back and forth by location. My favorite part of the visualization is how the bottom images blur as you whiz by.

Ultimately, success of such work is measured by (although it shouldn't need be) whether or not users would rather browse data with the visualization or with the usual listing pages. Wy2mgqx. Kevin Lynch on Adobe&#039;s AIR: Extending the Web beyond the Br. On February 25, 2008, Adobe Systems launched version 1.0 of the Adobe Integrated Runtime, or “AIR,” which allows software programmers to use web-development tools to create desktop software applications that run on all the major operating systems: Windows, Mac and — coming soon — Linux. For Adobe, AIR is a big bet. At the launch event, CEO Shantanu Narayen described AIR as Adobe’s “fourth platform,” positioning it as the next link in the chain that includes PostScript, Acrobat’s PDF (Portable Document Format) and Flash. The first three created disruptive paradigm shifts in their respective fields — typesetting and document printing, electronic document interchange and web interactivity — and all have generated significant revenue for Adobe.

Adobe hopes AIR will follow suit. One company not sitting idly by on the sidelines is Microsoft. On March 5, the software giant released a beta (test) version of the next generation of its Silverlight technology. AIR came out of that thinking. iPhone Dev SDK Forum - Powered by vBulletin.

Native Client, la technologie RIA de Google qui risque de faire. La sortie de Native Client, une technologie encore expérimentale du Google Labs, est passée complètement inaperçue à quelques rares billets près. Le problème n’est pas que les blogueurs soient peu inspirés par cette nouvelle, mais plutôt que ce produit a tellement été mal présenté au public que personne ne sait trop à quoi ça va servir. Pour information il m’a fallu près de deux semaines de cogitation avant d’attaquer la rédaction de ce billet.

Pas réellement un concurrent de Flash ou de AIR Force est de constater que ce nouveau produit est plutôt obscur, que les explications sont rares et que même les équipes à l’origine de ce projet sont incapables de fournir une explication claire (cf. Native Client: An OS in Your Browser). Ne vous y trompez pas, même s’il est beaucoup question de RIA, NaCl n’est ni un plugin à la Flash ou Silverlight, ni un runtime à la AIR.

Silverlight 2 Beta2 Released - ScottGu&#039;s Blog. Silverlight 2 Beta2 was released today. You can download both Silverlight 2 Beta2 and the Visual Studio and Expression Blend tools support to target it here. Beta2 adds a lot of new features (more details below), but is still a 4.6 MB download that takes less than 10 seconds to install on a machine. It does not require the .NET Framework or any other software to be installed for it to work, and all features work cross-browser on both Mac and Windows machines.

These features will also be supported on Linux via the Moonlight 2 release. Silverlight 2 Beta2 supports a go-live license that allows you to start using and deploying Silverlight 2 for commercial applications. You can build Silverlight Beta2 applications using the VS 2008 Tools for Silverlight and Expression Blend 2.5 June Preview downloads. UI and Control Improvements Silverlight 2 Beta2 includes a bunch of work in the UI and Control space: More Built-in Controls We ultimately expect to ship over a 100 controls for Silverlight.

Launched last week, Glide Engage is a stream front-end for the Glide , a Web OS which offers a suite of integrated Web Apps including docs, spreadsheets , photo and music uploading and sharing, calendar, email, Website creation and collaboration tools. Glide can be overwhelming. There is a lot there. But it has attracted its own loyal following of about one million registered users. With Glide Engage, the various features of the Glide OS become available on an as-needed basis and gives a better entry point for the service. At first glance, Glide Engage is a micro-messaging service on steroids. You can follow (“engage” with) other people in Glide, add comments to your stream, share links and files, create discussion groups and bring different media and people into online meeting spaces. What makes Glide particularly interesting is that it is also a Twitter client. Push and Pop dirs. [flexcoders] Re: Web browser crashing on remote method call.
