DanC: implements Date fields and Tokenizable field values from djb's notes
DanC: I have since switched to using python's rfc822 module, though
DanC: v 1.2 2000/07/14 20:28:21 connolly Exp
 
DanC: detailed comments thru section 2.5.2. no show-stoppers.
 
dajobe: by Matt Biddulph
DanC: nifty.
 
Jhendler: Closed issues flow to this web page via a few steps - thanks to Dan and cwm coupled with the RDF Map at owl.mindswap.org
DanC: ah... comment summaries are nifty
DanC: how do I get the .rdf data?
DanC: ah... rdf data
Jhendler: note that the RDF Data URI is not a "permanent" URI - changes when new data is submitted - we're working on fixing that
Jhendler: the RDF instances are created from a http://www.cs.umd.edu/~hendler/2003/Closed6-22.htm (exported in comma separated from)
Jhendler: by the use of ConvertToRDF (which needs to be replaced by an easier to use version!)
 
danbri: Cool :)
danbri: Another reason not to forget my PGP passphrase. I should re-sign my foaf file now this and foafbot are taking notice of the signature...
bitsko: FoafCheck is a small Python script, using Sean Palmer's standalone rdf parser, to retrieve a FOAF file, verify its signature, and return some interesting properties from it.
bitsko: FoafCheck is similar to the PHP implementation by Eric Sigler and Perl XML::FOAF by Ben Trott.
bitsko: I've modified the Blosxom writeback plugin to accept a FOAF URI as the "homepage" and supply the remaining fields from the FOAF.
bitsko: There is a question surrounding the use of rdf:seeAlso from the foaf:Person to connect the given URI to the foaf:Person, followups to the rdfweb-dev announcement.
danbri: See also danbri's notes on foaf-check.
mortenf: More notes on authentication in #foaf
bitsko: More details on FoaF Identity Assurance.
 
danbri: Somewhat tidied up, supressing wilful obscurity. And experimenting with actually using my Movable Type weblog installation.
danbri: Of #rdfig interest, Spring v1.3.1 for MacOS X just shipped with more (XSLT-based) RDF support -- loads FOAF files from Web.
danbri: See subsequent rdfweb-dev thread on making FOAF/RDF more friendly to XSLT applications.
danbri: In that thead, on FOAF/RDF/SW adoption in Japan, " FOAF is getting to be the first entry point to RDF/Semantic Web for ordinary people. o many people say 'I first time feel partly understand RDF' or 'This is my first experience to touch SW, wow!' in their blogs or diary pages."
danbri: "And, people even learn XSLT first time in order to render their FOAF/RDF."
 
DanC: presentation materials? notes? trip reports?
DanC: some http://swordfish.rdfweb.org/photos/2003/06/12/index.htmlphotos of the london part from libby
DanC: RDF in Real Life - Some examples of RDF applications by Dominique Haza\x{00EB}l-Massieux
DanC: Dom's slides are awesome... esp "Benefits of Semantic Web Technologies" and "Not tomorrow, today" and "TR automation (2)"
DanC: ooh... "Decentralized data management"
 
danbri: Rejoice!
danbri: On my summer wishlist: find time to revisit their graph encoding syntax.
danbri: See also the primer entry on using other Encoding Schemes for an RDF-within-SOAP example.
