danbri: They're working on an update to vCard. Please don't go hectoring them to use RDF and/or FOAF directly, I'm sure it'll only annoy them. But constructive involvement esp around testcases and schema extensions would be great I'm sure.
KjetilK: And besides, it is not like we finished our RDF version of the 3.0 spec :-)
 
danja: timbl in timesonline
 
danbri: A welcome communication...
 
 
 
yvesr: Provides URIs for myspace users, with corresponding FOAF/MO RDF representation
yvesr: All is scraped on-the-fly
danbri: Neat! How does scraping compare to the platform stuff they launched?
yvesr: I do wonder wether they implemented OpenSocial though... Didn't hear about it, although it would really simplify the scraping process
TedThibodeauJr: see #OpenSocial for ongoing rants about MySpace, Orkut, etc. and their implementations/deployments... I think MySpace is now on OS v0.6 while the "standard" is up to 0.7, but I'm just a dilettante observer so don't take my word for that
yvesr: http://developer.myspace.com/community/ - it looks like there is a JSON/REST api which could simplify the code base there
 
 
 
tommorris: A 'dummies guide' starting point for the Semantic Web
tommorris: I'm hoping to point people to this page during my talk at BarCamp this weekend
tommorris: I set up a short URL for it - http://icanhaz.com/swtutorial
tommorris: Perhaps an OWLhead could flesh out the section on RDFS/OWL
 
danieljohnlewis: Linking Open Data Google Summer of Code Page
danieljohnlewis: We need ideas and mentors
