 If you're attending the Semantic Web Technologies 2009 Conference in San

 I also have a 30 minute slot covering the use of Linked Data to solve real

Post-graduate fellowship in Semantic Web technologies for Content Management Systems

2009-06-10 Thread Stephane Corlosquet
Post-graduate fellowship in Semantic Web technologies for Content 
Management Systems

DERI, National University of Ireland, Galway

The Reasoning and Querying Unit at the Digital Enterprise Research 
Institute (DERI) of the National University of Ireland, Galway invites 
applications for a Research Assistant, Masters or PhD fellowship 
position in the area of Semantic Web technologies for Content Management 
Systems.


DERI, a leading research institute in semantic technologies, offers a 
stimulating, dynamic and multi-cultural research environment, excellent 
ties to research-groups worldwide and close collaboration with 
industrial partners.


The open fellowship is tailored to deploy Semantic Web technologies at 
large scale in widely used Open Source Content Management Systems and is 
funded by Science Foundation Ireland. The position offers for the 
successful candidate an annual stipend, course fees and conference 
travel when presenting. The DERI Unit for Reasoning and Querying focuses 
on improving the scalability and investigating the adequacy of 
traditional reasoning and query answering techniques for the Web, where 
several classical assumptions no longer hold as data is heterogeneous, 
distributed, possibly incomplete or contradictory, structured in 
different levels of granularity, varying in levels of trust and 
accessible only by following implicit or explicit security policies. 
Research is performed in collaboration with other DERI units and 
industrial partners.


Applicants should hold an excellent primary degree in a relevant 
discipline with industrial project experience, such as active website 
development with Content Management Systems being a distinct advantage. 
Applicants should have a strong interest in the area of Linked Data with 
an understanding of its application and use. Applicants must have a 
background in concrete CMS systems such as for instance Drupal, Joomla!, 
Typo3, Plone, etc.; any knowledge about other CMSs is a bonus, 
programming skills in Java or scripting languages such as PHP, 
JavaScript is desirable. Applicants must be highly motivated with the 
ability for independent and critical thought. Successful applicants are 
expected to combine scientific work with application-oriented research 
and development in collaborative projects funded by national and 
European funding agencies.


Please submit your application (including cover letter outlining 
suitability, a brief outline of your preferred methodology, full CV and 
contact details for three referees) to h...@deri.org with the subject line 
'Post-graduate fellowship in Semantic Web Technologies for Content 
Management Systems', by 5 pm on Friday, July 10th 2009.


For further information please contact Dr. Axel Polleres at 
axel.polle...@deri.org or Stéphane Corlosquet at 
stephane.corlosq...@deri.org

hello friends


has anyone written some code to programatically query any of the SPARQL
endpoints (esp lod data at lod.openlinksw.com in java) ? if so it would be
awesome if he/she can share the sample code or the documentation needed for
this.

New Generic Linked Data Meetup in Place

2009-06-10 Thread Kingsley Idehen

All,

I've used meetup.com to create a generic (location independent) meetup 
space for Linked Data enthusiasts [1]. The inaugural event of this 
meetup is the San Jose gathering :-) Thus, I would encourage everyone to 
use this facility to RSVP for next weeks gathering.


We can keep notes, minutes from gatherings at the ESW Wiki [2] space etc..

As stated at MIT gathering last night, a meetup organization solutions, 
especially re. the Semantic Web and Linked Data must deliver the following:


1. Virulence
2. Low maintenance

It isn't very difficult to query using java's httpurlconnection [1]  
and xml facilities to deal with the results of SELECT and ASK. Just  
construct a url like http://example.com/sparql?query=; +  
URLEncoder.encode(queryString, UTF-8)


However if you want something full featured there is ARQ's  
sparqlService [2], which will deal with the messy details for you. [3]

WiserEarth API is open - 100,000+ orgs data to link

2009-06-10 Thread Bernard Vatant

Hello all

In case you missed this, WiserEarth [1] is opening its API [2] and 
proposes a conf call for developers tomorrow June 11 at 10am PDT (19h00 
Paris time)


The WiserEarth data base is mainly an index of more than 111,000 
organizations (NGOs and business) working in the fields of environment, 
peace, social justice, sustainable development, education and the like 
the world over. More data about events, jobs, solutions (and people).


On the radar of WiserEarth in opening its API is of course the 
perspective to see their data enter the LOD cloud, so watch this space, 
or jump in to help.
