bibtex to rdf converter. it takes bibtex and results rdf.

haha, this thing is great. Ingo Brunkhorst just told me about this baby by Wolf Siberski. Both L3S / KBS.

Richard Cyganiak pointed me to this one, perhaps we find something there that can help us doing updates on graphs. but which code snippet? hm

http://rdqlplus.sourceforge.net/doc/ridiql.html

RIDIQL (RDF Insertion Deletion Inspection and Query Language) builds several utility commands on top of RDQL to make working with RDF graphs easy. This reference describes each of the commands and gives examples where appropriate.
Note: All commands may be written on multiple lines and are terminated with a ; character. Command names and tokens are case-insensitive, but when written in this reference, they are capitalized for clarity.

Doug Cutting writes about a web-services / desktop mixture that i like.

In this web-based world, I’d like to keep all my personal data remotely, so that I can access it equally well from a Linux workstation, an Apple laptop, a Palm phone and a Windows-based internet-access terminal. Still, I’d like to leverage my local resources. For example, my laptop and handheld should be able to access my data while offline, and my workstation should be able to search it quickly using a local database.

could gnowsis be the glue? not by his arguments against java, but we are scientists, leave it to the corps to do the dirty c hacking.

I asked Libby Miller if she knows a tool to convert apple address book to foaf. She pointed me to

http://www.holygoat.co.uk/applications/address-book-foaf/projects/ab/ab.py

and this

http://people.no-distance.net/ol/software/ab-foaf/

we’ll see if this helps for the gnowsis integration, hope so.

found the semantic bible project. i had a similar thing in mind before, good that someone did it. I wish that they would have identified people not by name but by identity and name.

there are several homonyms in the new and old testament, would be great to match bible verses to people and not names.

chatting about what you search.

should be combined with annotea, we will do something like this

http://www.chatnsearch.com/

hm, our last post is somehow related to this one.

for foaf it is described here and for other vocabs just google for it or look here:

• http://www.w3.org/2003/01/geo/
• schemaweb entry
• photorss

1. find out where you are

if you do not have a GPS mouse or tracker, use http://www.multimap.com, they show the current GPS position somewhere on the page during scrolling.

then enter this here and verify. Then mingle a little with lat/lon until you hit home.

2. Paste to your foaf file:
in the header:
xmlns:geo=”http://www.w3.org/2003/01/geo/wgs84_pos#”

as data:
<foaf:Person
 foaf:firstName=”Leo”
 foaf:nick=”leobard”>
 <foaf:based_near>
  <geo:point geo:long=”7.7667″ geo:lat=”49.4412″/>
 </foaf:based_near>
</foaf:Person>

3. upload foaf file

4. add the lat/long to your homepage

<meta name=”geo.position” content=”49.4412;7.7667″>
<meta name=”geo.placename” content=”Kaiserslautern”>
<meta name=”geo.region” content=”DE-RP”>
5. Ping geourl

read this: http://geourl.org/add.html

then go here: http://geourl.org/ping/
and enter your web url

6. Enjoy

when everything works, you should go to your foaf explorer and see your homepage as being near you, like here
which leads to a geourl link (below) and other nice map links.

If you installed the firefox nearby plugin then you see cool stuff on the geourl page…

the nearby plugin will open allthegoodness, which is another great site.
