Google's structured seach talk / Google squared UI
Hi all, This talk might have been seen by some of you; but was certainly new to me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5lCSDOuqv1Afeature=autoshare Much of this is an exploration of how google is making use of freebase's underlying linked data to better understand what they are crawling - deriving what something is by examining its attributes; and automatically creating something like linked data from it. Additionally; it talks about Google squared - this tool appears to be heavily powered by freebase data; as well as derived data from the web. I was fairly impressed by the mix of understanding a user query and rendering results as actual entities (one of the few non-facet based UIs I have seen). For instance: territorial authorities in new zealand http://www.google.com/squared/search?q=territorial+authorities+in+new+zealand Whilst this is not using the typical linked data technology stack of RDF, SPARQL, open licenced data, etc; it certainly shows you what can be done with data in a graph structure; plus a UI which is a cross between a spreadsheet and a search result.
Re: Google's structured seach talk / Google squared UI
Hi, I did something very similar to Google Squared in small php script a couple of years ago: http://iandavis.com/2009/lodgrid/?store=spacequery=jupitercolumns=6 It uses linked data held in the Talis Platform and the platform's full text search service.

Last Call: Social and Emergent Use Cases of Library Linked Data - Feb 15, 2011
If you have in mind social or emergent use cases for library linked data, we would appreciate if you could contribute them to the Library Linked Data XG (e.g., via public-...@w3.org mailing list). Detailed information about the call below. Call for Use Cases: Social uses and other new uses of Library Linked Data The W3C Library Linked Data Incubator Group - http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/lld/ Requested by February 15th, 2011 Do you use library-related data -- like reading lists, library materials (articles, books, videos, cultural heritage or archival materials, etc), bookmarks, or annotations -- on the Web and mobile Web? Are you currently using social features in library-related information systems or sites, or plan to do so in the near future? We are particularly interested in uses that are related to or could benefit from the use of linked data [1]. The W3C Library Linked Data Incubator Group is soliciting SOCIAL and EMERGENT use cases for library-related linked data: What new or innovative uses do you see (or envision) integrating library and cultural heritage data into applications on the Web and in social media? How are social features used in library-related information systems? What are the emergent uses of library-related data on the Web and mobile Web? How could linked data technology [1] - enhance the use of library-related data in a social context? - contribute to systems for sharing, filtering, recommending, or machine reading? - support new uses we may not have envisioned or achieved yet? Some examples have been discussed in this thread [4]. Please tell us more by filling in the questionnaire below and sending it back to us or to public-...@w3.org, preferably before February 15th, 2011. The information you provide will be influential in guiding the activities the Library Linked Data Incubator Group will undertake to help increase global interoperability of library data on the Web. The information you provide will be curated and published on the group wikispace at [3]. We understand that your time is precious, so please don't feel you have to answer every question. Some sections of the templates are clearly marked as optional. However, the more information you can provide, the easier it will be for the Incubator Group to understand your case. And, of course, please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any trouble answering our questions. Editorial guidance on specific points is provided at [2], and examples are available at [3]. At this time, we are particularly interested in use cases describing the social media and emergent uses for library linked data.The Incubator Group will carefully consider all submissions we receive. On behalf of the Incubator Group, thanks in advance for your time, Jodi Schneider (jodi.schneider_deri.org) and Uldis Bojārs (uldis.bojars_gmail.com) [1] http://www.w3.org/DesignIssues/LinkedData.html [2] http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/lld/wiki/UCCuration [3] http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/lld/wiki/UseCases [4] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xg-lld/2011Jan/0006.html === Name === A short name by which we can refer to the use case in discussions. === Owner === The contact person for this use case. === Background and Current Practice === Where this use case takes place in a specific domain, and so requires some prior information to understand, this section is used to describe that domain. As far as possible, please put explanation of the domain in here, to keep the scenario as short as possible. If this scenario is best illustrated by showing how applying technology could replace current existing practice, then this section can be used to describe the current practice. Often, the key to why a use case is important also lies in what problem would occur if it was not achieved, or what problem means it is hard to achieve. === Goal === Two short statements stating (1) what is achieved in the scenario without reference to linked data, and (2) how we use linked data technology to achieve this goal. === Target Audience === The main audience of your case. For example scholars, the general public, service providers, archivists, computer programs... === Use Case Scenario === The use case scenario itself, described as a story in which actors interact with systems. This section should focus on the user needs in this scenario. Do not mention technical aspects and/or the use of linked data. === Application of linked data for the given use case === This section describes how linked data technology could be used to support the use case above. Try to focus on linked data on an abstract level, without mentioning concrete applications and/or

Nice! But unfortunately I have to choose a platform store. Shouldn't I be able to search for jupiter and return results from nasa and dbpedia?

Daniel, Export the tabular data, lookup URIs from DBpedia, add to table, use angle brackets for URIs, de-normalize to 3-tuple structure (table with Reference values), and you have platform agnostic Linked Data. This resource can be ingested by anything that supports N-Triples :-) Great example. Of course folks can go down other unproductive routes, but be best assured, the guide above gets you to the finishing line quickly. In addition, it demonstrates the real power of Linked Data at InterWeb scale without any platform lock-in. The game of Linked Data isn't about Lock-In. It's about Open Access to Linked Data Objects, leveraging the prowers of URIs as Super Keys. -- Regards, Kingsley Idehen President CEO OpenLink Software Web: http://www.openlinksw.com Weblog: http://www.openlinksw.com/blog/~kidehen Twitter/Identi.ca: kidehen
