Twitter Data - A simple, open proposal for embedding data in Twi Obama’s Groundbreaking use of the Semantic Web In a revolutionary move, Obama’s administration is set to utilise next generation web technologies to bring an unprecedented level of transparency to government. In this case it will shed light on how the roughly US $800 billion dollar economic stimulus will be spent. The recently launched recovery.gov website (powered by nothing other then Drupal) brought with it the promise that citizens would be able to view where the money was going and how it was going to be spent. George Thomas, from the U.S. government website recovery.gov, presented some of the details at a talk earlier this month at Transparency Camp. He talked about the moves that the government is taking and the importance of the above technology stack to make that happen. About 2 months ago I wrote about President Obama’s usage of RDFa on whitehouse.gov. Gone are the days of Bush and back door deals and under-the-table money exchanges (Halliburton anyone?). Crowdsourcing I am excited! Tom Cruise

Table of Contents: This page contains the information on RDF and OWL tools that used to be listed on the home pages of the RDF and OWL Working Groups at W3C. This Wiki page is only for programming and development tools. There are other pages on tool collection, largely overlapping with this, but possibly with a different granularity or emphasis. There are also separate pages maintained on this Wiki for: SPARQL implementations, set up by the SPARQL Working Group (although most of the information is present on this page, too)SPARQL "endpoints", examples of using SPARQL in exposing various data.

Romulus - Domain Driven Design and Mashup Oriented Development The main concept of is researching on novel methods for increasing productivity and reliability of web software development, in particularly, focused on Java web development. proposal is based on recognising some of the deficiencies of standard Java Enterprise Edition, and proposing a new paradigm for developing web applications taking advantage of new trends in software engineering, such as domain driven design combined with agile development methodologies, and some of the principles from Ruby on Rails. In order to have a serious impact, the project does not start from scratch, it is based on two mature open source projects, Roma and LIFERAY, which will be extended according to this proposal needs and following an open source project development methodology, in order to disseminate and exploit the results of the project. Integrating a “Mash-up oriented development” in the process. Web Services Mashups, such as Google Maps or Yahoo Pipes. Develop vertical solutions
DeepaMehta Potential RDF use cases for Drupal | groups.drupal.org Following up on my previous post introducing the in-progress RDF API for Drupal 6.x, I'm going to be, bit by bit, posting some of the materials that I've earlier put together internally for the project this is being developed for. Development of this project is supported through M.C. Dean and MakaluMedia on behalf of their clients. First, some requisite background. This environment presented us with a variety of challenges, such as deploying the application across multiple discrete organizations that operate under little or no centralized authority, supporting a wide range of operational scenarios, and finally managing or brokering large volumes of context-sensitive information delivered via a variety of protocols from a multitude of sources, in formats ranging from web-native to rich media files to device specific data streams. Here to the right are two slides from a presentation at our recent developer meeting (click on the images to see the full-sized version on Flickr). Many (most?)
Online Access The DBpedia data set can be accessed online via a SPARQL query endpoint and as Linked Data. 1. Querying DBpedia The DBpedia data set enables quite astonishing query answering possibilities against Wikipedia data. 1.1. There is a public SPARQL endpoint over the DBpedia data set at OpenLink Virtuoso as both the back-end database engine and the HTTP/SPARQL server. There is a list of all DBpedia data sets that are currently loaded into the SPARQL endpoint. You can ask queries against DBpedia using: the Leipzig query builder at the OpenLink Interactive SPARQL Query Builder (iSPARQL) at the SNORQL query explorer at (does not work with Internet Explorer); or any other SPARQL-aware client(s). Fair Use Policy: Please read this post for information about restrictions on the public DBpedia endpoint. 1.2. There is a public Faceted Browser “search and find” user interface at 1.3. here. 1.4.
Collaborative Protege The format of the Changes and Annotation ontology (ChAO) has changed in Protege 3.4.2 release. If have an existing ChAO project created with an earlier version of Protege and would like to take advantage of the new features, please follow the upgrade instructions from here. Collaborative Protege is an extension of the existing Protege system that supports collaborative ontology editing. In addition to the common ontology editing operations, it enables annotation of both ontology components and ontology changes. It supports the searching and filtering of user annotations, also known as notes, based on different criteria. The multi-user mode - allows multiple clients to edit simultaneously the same ontology hosted on a Protege server. This user guide applies to both multi-user and standalone mode of Collaborative Protege. Collaborative Protege is distributed with the full installation of Protege. Stand-alone mode Install the full distribution of the latest version of Protege 3.*.
