[Ann] Triplify 0.7 released

2009-10-30 Thread Sören Auer 

Hi all,

On behalf of AKSW (), I'm pleased to announce the 
release of Triplify version 0.7.


Triplify () is a light-weight tool for publishing 
relational databases as RDF and Linked Data.


This release includes in particular:

* a *metadata extension* created by Olaf Hartig for generating and
  representing provenance information

* support for *Extract-Tranform-Load (ETL) cycles*, since Triplify can
  be called directly from the command line.

* extension of the default behavior for mapping URIs to SQL queries by
  using *regular expressions to match request URL’s*.

More information can be also found on the documentation page:

http://triplify.org/Documentation

Special thanks go to Sebastian Dietzold and Soren Roug.


Sören

Pete,

Its in URIBurner data space right now. Interaction interface is your 
choice[1][2][3], output will always be self explanatory URI  :-)


Links:

1. http://uriburner.com/fct -- start with text search patterns, or 
patterns scoped to URI labels, or the raw URI
2. http://uriburner.com/sparql -- normal SPARQL endpoint, but note, 
HTML+RDFa option for DESCRIBE and CONSTRUCT queries (the HTML page will 
get nicer in due course)
3. http://uriburner.com/isparql -- QBE style query tool. Note "results 
tab" which has a Query URI, this is all you need re query sharing via 
URIs, others can just tweak the Query Params of the URI if they seek to 
see something different via some other data representation / 
presentation combo .


I REST my case :-)

Thanks Peter,

I haven't seen it. We will process it in the next few days, I'll inform 
you if we found some problem.

Hi Renaud,

Thank you, I have a semantic sitemap at:

I am open to additional comments or suggestions. :-)

Hi Peter,

I see that you have already a dataset dump available. Could I
suggest also the use of a semantic sitemap [1], so that search
engines such as Sindice can find, process and index your dump.

Best,

I have updated the GeoSpecies data set.

You can read about it here:

You can browse it here:

http://lod.geospecies.org/

The RDF dump can be obtained here:

Here is the new RDF dump

http://lod.geospecies.org/geospecies.rdf.tar.gz   (1,765,790
Triples)

The data set currently contains information and linked data
for: 15,862 Species, 1,291 Familes, 206 Orders. We have
approximately 6,500 species observations, but are awaiting
release on the majority of those. The current data set
includes 12 sample observation records with geo and geonames
links. There is also a growing number of GeoSpecies annotated
articles and presentations in the bibtex and bibio
vocabularies. The knowledge base is currently linked to
DBpedia, Freebase, Bio2RDF, Uniprot, uBio data sources, and
uses some of the umbel subject concepts. See the projects page
information on proper attribution. Until they have been fully
documented, the bulk of the observation records are not
currently available.

I have attempted to link to dbpedia, bio2rdf, uniprot and
freebase when possible using skos:closeMatch. Of the 15,862
species, 5,684 are linked to dbpedia and wikipedia, 8,948 are
linked to bio2rdf and uniprot. There are also
foaf:isPrimaryTopicOf links to 8,910 Wikispecies pages.
Similar linkages are made at the other taxonomic levels of
kingdom, phylum, class, order and family.

Here the the page for the Silver-bordered Fritillary Butterfly
Boloria selene Denis and Schiffermuller 1775

http://lod.geospecies.org/ses/ICmLC.html

The "entity" is

http://lod.geospecies.org/ses/ICmLC

The RDF is

http://lod.geospecies.org/ses/ICmLC.rdf

The levels above species and family are in XHTML with RDFa,
but also have a straight RDF representation.

Order Carnivora

http://lod.geospecies.org/orders/jtSaY.xhtml

RDF version

http://lod.geospecies.org/orders/jtSaY.rdf

This page has some example SPARQL queries.
http://about.geospecies.org/sparql.xhtml

You can find the ontology documentation here:
http://rdf.geospecies.org/gs_ont_doc/index.html

It is mainly a vocabulary, since I have had trouble getting
all the related ontologies to play well together.

The SPARQL query examples will work as described on the RDF
dataset without the ontology.

This is only a fraction of the world's species but it includes
all the world's Mammals, and North American Birds.

I will be working to improve the data set's depth, breadth and
linkages overtime, and would appreciate any comments or
suggestions :-)

My long term plan is to also add biologically relevant
assertions to allow useful semantic queries about species.

I have started to add state and county level records from the
USDA Plants dataset for Wisconsin, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota.

In addition, I have started to make links between habitats and
species.

Peter,

Great work! Now, as you already have a semantic sitemap, it should be pretty
straight-forward to offer a voiD description [1] of your dataset as well.
You can, for example, use the lifting XSLT [2] to bootstrap the voiD file
from your existing sitemap and add further details about the interlinking to
other datasets, etc. (see also the voiD guide [3] for the interplay with
sitemaps).

Happy to assist you off-line in case you have further questions regarding
voiD ...


Cheers,
  Michael
