dajobe: Simple RDF/YAML parser and serialiser
dajobe: that seems to be en-uk, not en-us
 
dajobe: I noticed this week, the perl CPAN people have been working on their RDF mechanisms
darobin: In fact CPAN has been supporting RDF exports for quite a while, they just weren't too heavily publicised
dajobe: I noticed a RDF/YAML thing enter CPAN in the last few days. What's that all about?
 
nernst: some notes on the KCAP workshop on Neil Ernst's blog

Danc_RSW: presented at ISWC 2003. "Cooking the Semantic Web with the OWL API" p 659 in the dead-trees ISWC 2003 proceedings
Danc_RSW: SeanB offered a "whole bottle" (airplane size) of scotch whiskey to anybody who could download his code and check that file during his talk.
Danc_RSW: "you can do OIL in emacs, but I don't recommend it." with nxml-mode, it's much less horrible
Danc_RSW: "related work: Jena. RDF-centric view of the world."
Danc_RSW: ... as opposed to 'ontology level objects'
Danc_RSW: so this is an OWL-DL view
Danc_RSW: after one week, among the top 1000 sourceforge downloads
 
Trust Management for the Semantic Web
Danc_RSW: Matthew Richardson, Rakesh Agrawal and Pedro Domingos
swh: Inspired by Page Rank
swh: equates trust with potential movement between web pages

Danc_RSW: I was able to give this a try yesterday: meeting scheduling gizmo to www-rdf-calendar
Danc_RSW: p 754 in the dead-trees ISWC 2003 proceedings
Danc_RSW: annotation tool shows a web page; you highlight some text then choose a property
Danc_RSW: static version of who's who page rotted thru disuse, but with mangrove automation, we have lively data.
Danc_RSW: back-end database based on Jena
Danc_RSW: applications include meeting scheduling ("telcon tiddlywinks, as I call it"). presentation elaborates "balanced potluck" scenario
Danc_RSW: see [WebDB2003] for formal model, theorems
 
Haystack: A Platform for Authoring End User Semantic Web Applications
Danc_RSW: Dennis Quan, David Huynh and David R. Karger. Quan presenting
Danc_RSW: hmm... Dennis is at IBM these days.
Danc_RSW: "a deep technical talk should start with a horrible oversimplification of the problem" ;-)
Danc_RSW: p. 738 in the dead-trees ISWC 2003 proceedings
Danc_RSW: application: bioninformatics. LSID servers serve up RDF metadata for biological objects
Danc_RSW: "we use urn:lsid:...". hmm
Danc_RSW: haystack is integrated with eclipse to some extent
Danc_RSW: hmm.. no lsid among URN namespaces registered and applied for. seems to be a case of UriSpaceSquatting
Danc_RSW: implemented on Java 2 version 1.4. open source. runs on windows, linux, mac os x.
Danc_RSW: on the "grandma to guru" scale, we're getting there, but still require some expertise
Danc_RSW: url slide: Dennis Quan, haystack project, IBM LSID
 
Danc_RSW: joint with K-CAP
