Exciting changes at Data.Southampton.ac.uk!

2011-04-01 Thread Christopher Gutteridge
After some heated debate after the backlash against me for my recent 
comments about PDF, I've been forced to shift to recommending PDF as the 
preferred format for the data.southampton.ac.uk site, both for 
publishing and importing data.


There are some issues with this and I know not every one will be happy 
with the decision; it wasn't easy to make... but on reflection, however, 
it's the right one. It is much easier for non programmers (the majority 
of people) to work with PDF documents and they are supported by pretty 
much every platform you can think of with a choice of tools and the 
benefit of familiarity.


We've provided a wrapper around 4store to make PDF the default output mode:

 Hi,

 for giving some color to the semantic web folks, we are happy to
 announce the release the Linked Open Colors dataset [1]. The Linked
 Open Colors project offers tons of facts about colors, all readily
 available as Linked Open Data, linking with other relevant datasets
 such as dbpedia.

 The dataset and its publication mechanisms have been pedantically
 checked, and we expect no errors in the triples; if you do find some,
 please let us know.

 This project is highly inspired by Linked Open Numbers project [2].
 Happy April Fools' Day!

I'll put this onto our todo list, just under content negotiation on 
Gopher URIs


Joking aside, we may need to use the open data in pages created in 
SharePoint. A SOAP wrapper for SPARQL may well be the best solution to 
this...

I really don't see why I should have to reengineer my entire toolchain

standard for information interchange is the Microsoft Word 97 document
format which is easily read by every popular computing package. I for one

 If endpoints deliver no content to the client e.g. if
 the client performs a SPARQL query that yields no results, servers answer
 HTTP status code 200 and deliver some content that holds the information

 204 for exactly this, isn't it? (see
 http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html)
 
 So, beside the aforementioned and recently discussed proper usage of
 referrers, I would also suggest to use the 204 HTTP status code.

This is perhaps best communicated to the SPARQL working group as a comment on 
their SPARQL 1.1 Protocol editor's draft:

That certainly sounds like something we should look into. Does MSWord 97 
support anything similar? Perhaps we have to consider supporting both 
Word97 and PDF to make the service available to all users.

Hyperlinks in this PDF point to sources described in formats as heterogenous as 
HTML, RDF or JPG.
Could you also encapsulate them in PDF to make the job of the developer easier 
by dealing with a single format ?

Dear all,


Last year, we published the Linked Open Numbers paper [1] which was a 
big success in the Linked Data community.
This year, we do not have a Linked Data or SemWeb related article but 
have an even bigger result in our annual journal [2]. Moreover, the Wall 
Street Journal announced the issue in advance [3].


We are very proud to tell you that the 6th Review of April Fool's day 
Transactions (RAFT 2011) [4] is now online!

Re: [ANN] Linked Open Colors

2011-04-01 Thread Christopher Gutteridge

Suggested future work:
* Relate each colour to a brightness, hue and saturation URI. Maybe also 
link to RDF documents for the combinations of b+h, n+s and h+s so people 
can see variants of saturation, brightness and hue.

* Link to the complimentary colour (inverse)
* Link to the harmonious colours
* Link to the nearest 'web safe' colour.
* Give all colours a label, even if it's just the label for the nearest 
web safe color. If 
http://linkedopencolors.appspot.com/color/rgb/85a3ce.rdf said 'light 
blue' somewhere it would have far more utility.
* Define some useful predicates; for example to relate an image to the 
major colour(s) used within it.
* provide a .png as well as .rdf and .html so people can link to a 
swatch of the colour.
* provide a recommended way to indicate transparency (which is possibly 
separate from colour?) Perhaps also other properties like reflectivity etc.


Anyhow, I've knocked up a quick image-to-RDF service;  
http://graphite.ecs.soton.ac.uk/img2rdf/


Example output: http://is.gd/3h0Ais

I've limited it to 10K pixels for now. Code available on request.

Hi,

for giving some color to the semantic web folks, we are happy to
announce the release the Linked Open Colors dataset [1]. The Linked
Open Colors project offers tons of facts about colors, all readily
available as Linked Open Data, linking with other relevant datasets
such as dbpedia.

The dataset and its publication mechanisms have been pedantically
checked, and we expect no errors in the triples; if you do find some,
please let us know.

This project is highly inspired by Linked Open Numbers project [2].
Happy April Fools' Day!

This is very useful Chris, however I think it would also be useful to relate 
pixels by spatial predicates. We could probably build on the OS spatial 
relations ontology to create orientation predicates, e.g.:
 
directlyLeftOf subPropertyOf sr:touches
directlyLeftOf subPropertyOf leftOf
 
pixel1 directlyLeftOf pixel2
 
etc..

Hi,

for giving some color to the semantic web folks, we are happy to
announce the release the Linked Open Colors dataset [1]. The 
Linked
Open Colors project offers tons of facts about colors, all 
readily
available as Linked Open Data, linking with other relevant 
datasets
such as dbpedia.

The dataset and its publication mechanisms have been 
pedantically
checked, and we expect no errors in the triples; if you do find 
some,
please let us know.

This project is highly inspired by Linked Open Numbers project 
[2].
Happy April Fools' Day!

Re: LDOW2011 Papers Online

2011-04-01 Thread Knud Hinnerk Möller
Hi guys,

the LDoW2011 data is being imported into data.semanticweb.org (just like the 
data from 2010), so any URIs used on the LDoW website resolve nicely. However, 
there are a few housekeeping triples that the LDoW dataset is missing (graph 
name, workshop acronym, etc.), which means that it doesn't show up properly in 
on the data.semanticweb.org HTML interface. 

@Tom, if you're interested in adding this data to the LDoW pages, let me know!

 To a large extent it already is, as RDFa in the workshop site :)

The web of data is based on datasets publication.
When building a dataset some questions arise: which existing vocabularies

Linked Open Vocabularies (LOV)  dataset [1]. It identifies the defined
vocabularies for data description but also the relationships between these
vocabularies.
The work within the LOV is not exhaustive but, by
suggesting us some vocabulary modifications and/or creations, we could
improve this dataset. 
You could access this dataset via an RDF/XML file

After some heated debate after the backlash against me for my recent 
comments about PDF, I've been forced to shift to recommending PDF as the 
preferred format for the data.southampton.ac.uk site, both for 
publishing and importing data.

There are some issues with this and I know not every one will be happy 
with the decision; it wasn't easy to make... but on reflection, however, 
it's the right one. It is much easier for non programmers (the majority 
of people) to work with PDF documents and they are supported by pretty 
much every platform you can think of with a choice of tools and the

We've provided a wrapper around 4store to make PDF the default output mode:

 Suggested future work:
 * Relate each colour to a brightness, hue and saturation URI. Maybe also
 link to RDF documents for the combinations of b+h, n+s and h+s so people can
 see variants of saturation, brightness and hue.
 * Link to the complimentary colour (inverse)
 * Link to the harmonious colours
 * Link to the nearest 'web safe' colour.
 * Give all colours a label, even if it's just the label for the nearest web
 safe color. If http://linkedopencolors.appspot.com/color/rgb/85a3ce.rdf said
 'light blue' somewhere it would have far more utility.
 * Define some useful predicates; for example to relate an image to the major
 colour(s) used within it.
 * provide a .png as well as .rdf and .html so people can link to a swatch of
 the colour.
 * provide a recommended way to indicate transparency (which is possibly
 separate from colour?) Perhaps also other properties like reflectivity etc.
 
 Anyhow, I've knocked up a quick image-to-RDF service;

 Example output: http://is.gd/3h0Ais
 
 I've limited it to 10K pixels for now. Code available on request.

 Hi,
 
 for giving some color to the semantic web folks, we are happy to
 announce the release the Linked Open Colors dataset [1]. The Linked
 Open Colors project offers tons of facts about colors, all readily
 available as Linked Open Data, linking with other relevant datasets
 such as dbpedia.
 
 The dataset and its publication mechanisms have been pedantically
 checked, and we expect no errors in the triples; if you do find some,
 please let us know.
 
 This project is highly inspired by Linked Open Numbers project [2].
 Happy April Fools' Day!

Re: [ANN] Linked Open Colors

Hi Sergio,

Thanks for the update about this new, much needed service! While
perusing the data from the command line with rapper I noticed that:

http://data.colourphon.co.uk/id/colourscheme/triadic/ff6347
rdfs:label triadic colours to compliment Coral (ff6347) .

ISO 01.070 [1] clearly defines this color as Tomato. I think we can
all agree that the identity of colors is a solved problem, and it
would be great if this Linked Data service could be updated to reflect
this. I started a Doodle Poll to see if we can find a time to meet to
discuss whether a W3C Working Group or Incubator Group might be needed
to resolve this issue.

Kingsley,

I've just added rdfs:isDefinedBy property to vocabularies which
 accept content negotiation.
Example here:
 http://labs.mondeca.com/dataset/lov/details/vocabulary_voaf.html


 Okay, a few more things though. For instance, what type of Entity is
 Identified by this URI: http://labs.mondeca.com/vocab/voaf#VocabularySpace?


 Effect of entity ambiguity shows here:

 http://uriburner.com/describe/?url=http%3A%2F%2Flabs.mondeca.com%2Fvocab%2Fv
 oaf%23VocabularySpacehttp://uriburner.com/describe/?url=http%3A%2F%2Flabs.mondeca.com%2Fvocab%2Fv%0Aoaf%23VocabularySpace.

 Also, we have an Entity ID (URI based Named Ref):
 http://labs.mondeca.com/dataset/lov/lov#CITY, and we (hopefully most
 Linked
 Data folk) kinda know said Entities representation (in the form of a linked
 data graph pictorial) is accessible from the Address (URL):
 http://labs.mondeca.com/dataset/lov/lov, but for absolute clarity (human
 and
 machines) you should add a wdrs:describedby relation of the form:

 http://labs.mondeca.com/dataset/lov/lov#CITY
 http://labs.mondeca.com/dataset/lov/lov#CITY  wdrs:describedby
 http://labs.mondeca.com/dataset/lov/lov
 http://labs.mondeca.com/dataset/lov/lov  .

 Good job!

Hello all,

We are pleased to announce the Linked Open
 Vocabularies initiative [1].

The web of data is based on datasets publication.
 When building a dataset some questions arise: which existing vocabularies
 will be the best-suited for my needs? To facilitate this task we propose
 the
 Linked Open Vocabularies (LOV)  dataset [1]. It identifies the defined
 vocabularies for data description but also the relationships between these
 vocabularies.
The work within the LOV is not exhaustive but, by
 suggesting us some vocabulary modifications and/or creations, we could
 improve this dataset.
You could access this dataset via an RDF/XML file
 [2] and via a SPARQL Endpoint [3].

Would be nice if you also added isDefinedBy relations so
 that one can FYN between TBox and ABox with ease :-)

So where is the RDF file containing the whole ontology?


[1] references [2], which is a zipped file of the DBPedia Ontology.

However, you are absolutely right, re. Linked Data publishing 
principles it might beneficial if, e.g.,


curl -H Accept: application/rdf+xml http://dbpedia.org/ontology/

or

curl -H Accept: application/rdf+xml http://dbpedia.org/ontology/Person

would resolve to a RDF/XML serialized description. It is a basic 
requirement especially re. Semantic Web ontology deployment to serve 
semantic graphs in different serializations formats. You are also 
right re. the application of rdfs:isDefinedBy for universals that are 
part of this ontology.
