a quick and dirty tagging scheme – another reincarnation of the thing that is known as folksonomies. flickr, etc.
What I like about this one is that is wants to embrace “the web” as a whole.
an example tag, to get you started:
demogng
a learning network for java.
might be useful sometime… we think about letting these babies run against our big graphs.
scrapbook
http://amb.vis.ne.jp/mozilla/scrapbook/
ScrapBook is a Firefox extension, which helps you to save Web pages and easily manage collections. Key features are lightness, speed, accuracy and multi-language support. Major features are:
* Save Web page
* Save snippet of Web page
* Save linked Web page
* Organize the collection in the same way as Bookmarks tree
* Full text search and quick filtering search of the collection
* Simple Editing of the collected Web page
* Text/HTML edit feature resembling Opera’s Notes
and its got RDF
gnowsis VS berlin hack outcome
btw: one result of the Gnowsis VS Berlin hack was, that we agreed to use SPARQL protocol and language together with a nice named graph / URIQA interface for some gnowsis services. (gnowsis centralhub, gnowsis search and gnowsis registry). So this thing can better integrate with mindraider etc.
Second, I again see that the GUI of gnowsis should be seperated from the data services. We will do this probably by using the Eclipse RCP. Then we can also integrate foafme and gnowsis a little better. Looking forward to this one.
gargonza
today i joined my foaf into the http://www.gargonza.org/ project. At the end, events like the foafcamp, the gnowsis VS Berlin hack or gargonza aim at the same goal: make the semantic thing fly and have fun doing it.
I hope to join their next session and I also hope that gnowsis supports SPARQL then (which is easy considered ARQ anyhow)
mSpace
in some discussions here at my work we often discuss user interfaces, mSpace is a nice little demo.
gnowsis VS berlin hack
Some people are like magnets, they are built to meet sometime. That is also true for me, leobard, and the Berlin Semantic Web group around Chris Bizer, Richard Cyganiak and Anja Jentzsch. We had to meet sometime, unavoidable.
Berlin work extending Jena is always good documented and nice little tools. gnowsis is a bigger tool to integrate them and have them in a user interface. As tools need some visualisation, this hack today was to plug together gnowsis and NG4J and D2RQ. We want to join forces to make the Semantic Web fly and the Semantic Desktop a part of it. The combattants in today’s hack already gathered yesterday evening for a initial social drinking event at www.bergmann103.de that brought us closer together. Presents were exchanged and I gave flower necklaces to the natives.
The crew is:
- Anja Jentzsch
- Frank Wagner
- Oliver Maresch
- Ralf Jakob
- Richard Cyganiak
- me
Today we hacked some code together, and had some minor auccesses. I updated my foaf file.
The weather was great, Berlin charms me and Anja made many Pictures that we cannot hide from you.
Another great hack, that will be continued tomorrow, in the serices of gnowsis VS fenfire and gnowsis VS mindraider.
epic
hm. watch it.
nice flash, shivers down my spine, good rendering of the collective feelings around here. scary.
reminds me of “Snowcrash”.

gnowsis & mindraider
Some weeks ago I found mindraider, a visualiser and editor for Semantic Web data. I found that Martin Dvorak leads this project and asked him if he would be interested to connect it to gnowsis. He realized that this can help very much and started uriqa support for mindraider.
Uriqa support is always useful, so I wisely added a uriqa server to gnowsis that these things can fly better. After downloading and running mindraider & using the latest gnowsis, I was able to produce this:
the “my files” folder in mindraider!
there are still some bugs, but in principle, it works.
Great.
Mindraider longer:
MindRaider is Semantic Web outliner. It aims to connect the tradition of outline editors with emerging technologies. MindRaider mission is to organize not only the content of your hard drive but also your cognitive base and social relationships in a way that enables quick navigation, concise representation and inferencing.
