Linked Enterprise Data Patterns Workshop

2011-10-24 Thread David Wood
Hi all,

The W3C Linked Enterprise Data Patterns Workshop will be held 6-7 December at 
MIT:
  http://www.w3.org/2011/09/LinkedData/

Participants are required to submit a position paper.  If you are interested, 
please submit your short paper here:
  http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ledp2011

Position papers are expected to be technical in nature.  The goal of the 
workshop is to capture and discuss Patterns (in the computer science sense) 
related to enterprise use of Linked Data.

Regards,
Dave

Hi Steph,

Yes, it has been announced before although there was some trouble with broken 
links.  We are discussing whether we can extend the deadline, but people are 
busy at ISWC and not very available this week.  That makes it both difficult to 
change the deadline and for people to submit.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

Regards,
Dave

ANN: sameAs.org over 50M

2011-10-24 Thread Hugh Glaser
The number of URIs in http://sameas.org/ has been relatively static at just 
over 48M for a long time.

But with the recent addition of new sets of links from Freebase, I thought it 
would be nice to tell you that it now has well over 50 million and climbing.
Of course, size is not everything, and some of the small datasets are the most 
valuable.

Our thanks to the many people who help us to put stuff into sameAs.org, as well 
as the people who report problems they find when using it.

Best
Hugh  Ian

Advocacy URL for publishing data with an explicit license

2011-10-24 Thread Richard Cyganiak
Dear list,

We all know that data publishers *should* publish their data along with an 
explicit license that explains what kind of re-use is allowed.

Can anyone suggest a good reference/link/URL that makes this case? A blog post 
or advocacy site or similar?

Bonus points if it has specific recommendations for RDF.

My preferred candidate so far is this – but it's not particularly strong on the 
“why”:
http://www.w3.org/TR/void/#license

Thanks,
Richard

Try Lawrence Lessig's book, where he explains Creative Commons.

Re: Advocacy URL for publishing data with an explicit license

2011-10-24 Thread Gannon Dick
Perhaps I'm introducing more complexity into the question than necessary.  A 
bit of willful ignorance goes a long way here.  With my app for ISWC[1] I ran 
into the problem of dct:creator vs dct:contributor with Public Sector 
Information - all from the UN.

In the case of UN LOCODES I was reformatting and making an extract of an ACCESS 
data base (linked to dbpedia).  The information was not available in any sort 
of web format, so I was rightly a dct:contributor, and the information was 
Public Domain [2].

In the case of UNESCO World Heritage Sites, I did not create, and contribution 
was nill.  UNESCO was quite clear in their wishes concerning links [3] although 
they offer an XML version then ask you not to change anything (nod, wink).

For the app I settled for a CC Public Domain Mark with a no Personally 
Identifiable Information caveat (hoping Charlemagne does not mind).

LOVE This, John! Great work :)

Old ideas are being repackaged and sold as new. Property graphs are all 
the rage today when it was more than 20 years ago that relational 
databases were being implemented as hypergraphs.

Let them have their fun.

We are in no real danger of a new level of human understanding, 
democracy and universal peace. Never have been, never will be.

Hope you are at the start of a great week!

Talis has written about this issue or encouraged others to write for quite a
while. Here are a few links. There are probably others I have forgotten
about.
