“The Semantic Grid is an extension of the current Grid in which information and services are given well-defined meaning, better enabling computers and people to work in cooperation.”

to the witty Semantic Web insider, this sounds familiar to http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/ says Uldis Bojars.

this inspired me to comment in his blog:

The Semantic President is an extension of the current president in which speech is given well-defined meaning, better enabling presidents and people to work in cooperation.

The Semantic Junk is an extension of the current Junk in which advertisment is given well-defined meaning, better enabling Junk and people to work in cooperation.

eh schon alt, aber immer noch gut.
das fit-it programm in österreich zur unterstütztung von Semantic Web projekten.

http://www.fit-it.at/

freut mich dass es sowas gibt!

for the english speakers:
This is the page of the federal support for Semantic Web projects in austria. Cool thing to have, a state driven effort to do semantic web stuff.

acutallly, semantic web is only a sub-interst here, but there are a few million euros for it.

to everybody:

We are modeling our new, better version of gnowsis integration.

introduction: an adpater is a thing that converts existing metadata to RDF. see adapter javadoc

The questions are

– how to access adapters
– how does a adapter publish its metadata. Metadata of adapters are: What data do I contain?
– how to implement adapters (we have much experience from adapting outlook and mp3 and other stuff like imap)
– what messages should be passed back and forth?

our answers ´would be:

we call them adapters.
adapters are accessed through xml/rpc, soap, or pure http.
adapters publish their metadata as RDF model, rdf/xml
adapters can be implemented in any language, as long as they speak some http-speak.
messages would be RDQL and ChattyBoundedDescriptions
