danja: (Yorkshire, way off the Bristol radar ;-)
danbri: I'm half-tempted to attend. It's in York mostly, something going on in Bath too. Not entirely clear quite what.
danbri: Nor for that matter what counts as being a ZIG person. I run the www-zig mailing list and have tried to attend ZIGs before...
danbri: Maybe I'll get around to it this time, if they're discussing the Z-NG stuff (SOAP etc...).
 
 
dajobe: [[Emerge is an NCSA effort to develop middleware components of a new distributed search infrastructure which addresses the scale and heterogeneity of scientific data.]]
dajobe: [[Access to our search services is through platform-neutral standard and emerging-standard tools such as Z39.50, Open Archives, XML, and Java.]]
dajobe: what is missing from this list? Well it is mentioned on their standards page
 
DanC_: since swBot was failing to load RSS due to lack of container support, I took a whack at it...
DanC_: sax2rdf.py now (as of 1.5) supports collections well enough to load resources.rdf
DanC_: but it still fails (silently :-{) to support reification,
DanC_: and it fails (with a "not supported" exception) to parse <rdf:li> as a typednode; i.e. I disagree with the WG's decision on this one.
DanC_: I wrote to the WG about test004 and about 005
 
deltab: "The unfortunate layout of some European PC keyboards (German, Dutch, etc.) combined with problematic keyboard driver semantics causes many users to enter instead of the apostrophe character the acute accent. This page details the problem and proposes sound and elegant solutions for both X11 and Win32 platforms."
