Maybe you could talk to Kristof, from Pronovix. They're doing interesting
stuff (GraphMind) with Drupal + mindmapping for KM.

mind mapping tools for linguistics, semantic web, ICT and KM combined

2011-06-28 Thread ProjectParadigm-ICT-Program
I am frantically looking for mind mapping tools which are usable in 
linguistics, for semantic web applications, ICT and Knowledge Management in a 
combined fashion.

There is a dizzying array of commercial and freeware products out there.

Any suggestions which ones best to use? The main objective is development of 
open source software for knowledge management and ICT4SD (ICT for Sustainable 
Development).

survey about provenance

2011-06-28 Thread Deus, Helena
<>

 

The W3C Provenance Working Group [1] is working on defining a standard
for provenance.

 

The group is conducting a survey [2] to identify and connect with
potential implementation stakeholders and coordinate test case
development and implementation activities.

 

If you or your organisation is developing software that might be
interested in implementing (ie. generating, reading or querying) the W3C
Provenance standard, the group would be grateful if you could complete
this survey: http://goo.gl/rHxAg

AIUI, 413 is when the request entity (i.e. headers and body) is too
large (e.g. when uploading a massive file), not that the request
conveyed by the request entity is too onerous.

Seriously, I think that 
   413 Request Entity Too Large

would be a good solution:

"The server is refusing to process a request because the request entity is 
larger than the server is willing or able to process. The server MAY close the 
connection to prevent the client from continuing the request.

If the condition is temporary, the server SHOULD include a Retry- After header 
field to indicate that it is temporary and after what time the client MAY try 
again."

500 Internal Server Error was also my first guess, but this may not stop 
clients from trying again.

Here's the misleading part of the Guardian article [1]:

   "The (computer) server was not based in the US at all," O'Dwyer's
   barrister, Ben Cooper, who has also been heavily involved in the
   McKinnon case, told Tuesday's hearing at Westminster magistrates
   court. "Mr O'Dwyer did not have copyrighted material on his website;
   _he simply provided a link_. The essential contention is that the
   correct forum for this trial is in fact here in Britain, where he
   was at all times."

   Some experts on digital law question whether _providing links to
   illegal downloads rather than directly hosting them_ would even
   constitute an offence in the UK. In February last year charges
   involving fraud and copyright against a similar site, TV-Links, were
   dismissed after a judge ruled that linking alone was not illegal.

   (emphasis added)

So the _three_-way distinction, between linking/embedding/hosting, is
just not understood. . .

Henry,

I am copying in the LOD mailing list as this is quite important and 
ultimately bring clarity to a confusing matter, even in the Linked Data 
realm.


Links are Links i.e, reference.

The Name and Address matter continues to charge on. Referring to 
something by Name is not the same thing as making a New Address for a 
Resource. When you make New Resource Addresses (or Locators) where the 
"authority" part is changed, you open up vulnerabilities of the kind 
expressed in the misledaing Guardian article.
