danbri: A formal language _and_ protocol, coo.
danbri: Seems to be same basic idea as that advocated in Enabling Inference QL'98 paper, but with more details (bNodes, protocol) worked out.
 
danbri: In iCalendar .ics format, via subscription to HTTP/FTP documents
AaronSw: This sounds just like iCal. I think I will try to download the calendar to my iPod.
danbri: An online RDFcal2Ical service would be handy for prototyping an RDF version of this... Any volunteers?
AaronSw: Postscript: It sort of worked. The iPod loaded the calendar fine, but apparently decided to repeat the holidays every day rather than every year.
danbri: Aren't these day-long holidays? ouch...
deltab: "With an iPod it's like it's Christmas every day!"
AaronSw: I'm hacking on the converted
danbri: Go AaronSw!
AaronSw: Converter done: libby's example, source code
 
 
rillian: N3 (now?) uses a content encoding of utf-8 with Normalization Form C
 
rillian: of particular interest is the list of canonized tags
 
 
JibberJim: "Dan was seen cavorting with Jennifer Loove Hewitt at the Hannibal premiere
shellac: Found by accident using Deja
deltab: "Dan was spotted dancing with Britney Sppears at SPA after her appearance on Saturday Night Live"
shellac: Explains why foaf:Name is not a daml:UnambiguousProperty
 
chaalsNCE: Makes RDF from data in format
chaalsNCE: 9. UA 863 H 12AUG SFOMEL HK1 2305 0930 O E MO
chaalsNCE: and then searches Mike Dean's stuff at http://www.daml.org/cgi-bin/airport? to get location of airports
chaalsNCE: sample output for CVS version 1.2 is available
chaalsNCE: uses DanC's schema but possibly incorrectly, and has some stuff I made up I think.
chaalsNCE: fair number of todo's listed in the source, along with the one-line documentation
DanCon: perhaps it's time to document the travelterms a little better
chaalsNCE: added an SVG output that doesn't really work yet, and moved the bit about fetching latitudes/longitudes into it
chaalsNCE: sample output of the map (currently only useful to see where I am going - everything is in a comment) also available
chaalsNCE: Worky!! a live SVG map of the sample data does the right thing!
chaalsNCE: a second dataset that is real flight info shows there are still problems - when there is a return leg on the same path it isn't clear...
 
dajobe: dug out of my bookmarks; more info for rss-dev discussions on rss 1.0/rdf and email?
 
AaronSw: It was a relatively close call, though. The judge struck it down because the patent specified a "central computer" and the Internet is clearly not a central computer...
AaronSw: Oops, never mind. It's also because HTML isn't made up of "blocks of information" and URLs aren't "a complete address".
Talliesin: You know once upon a time patents were intended to actually encourage innovation!
