Graham, Wondering if you still have copies of the RDF documents that describe the vocabularies used in the endeavor above? They are more than likely still useful circa. 2013 :-) Here are some examples of URIs that don't resolve anymore: 1. http://id.ninebynine.org/wip/2002/user/ 2. http://id.ninebynine.org/wip/2002/dnsa/ #g -- -- Regards, Kingsley Idehen Founder & CEO OpenLink Software Company Web: http://www.openlinksw.com Personal Weblog: http://www.openlinksw.com/blog/~kidehen Twitter/Identi.ca handle: @kidehen Google+ Profile: https://plus.google.com/112399767740508618350/about LinkedIn Profile: http://www.linkedin.com/in/kidehen smime.p7s Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature
Re: New Hewlett Packard patent may be a barrier to Semantic Web services adoption
Hi, As people on these lists are contributors to Notes and Recommendations on technologies & best practices on the SW, I think this discussion is relevant to the list members. FWIW, I don't track patents-specific lists at all so unless I saw it here, I wouldn't have known about HP's patent on titled "Policy Enforcement" on policy decision point and an adaptive grid. Thanks Martin.

Re: New Hewlett Packard patent may be a barrier to Semantic Web services adoption
I don't have a "legal department to challenge the patent", but in case it helps: http://www.ninebynine.org/SWAD-E/Scenario-HomeNetwork/HomeNetworkConfig.html This was work I did around 2002-03, and includes use of RDF technologies to set access controls on a Cisco IOS router, which appears to correspond to the first primary claim of the patent: [[ 1. An enforcement system for enforcing policies with regard to service requests comprising a processor-readable, non-transient medium storing code representing instructions that when executed at a processor cause the processor to implement: a plurality of enforcer agents adapted to enforce policies; at least one explorer agent adapted to evaluate policy enforcement capabilities available to the enforcement system; and a policy decision point adapted to identify the policies that need to be enforced for a service request and to pass this information to at least one enforcer agent to enforce the identified policies. ]] I recall there was also an Internet draft published about this time that talked about using RDF in a network management control layer: see http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-atarashi-netconfmodel-architecture-00. #g -- On 31/07/2013 20:15, Martin Hepp wrote: Dear all: Yesterday, Hewlett Packard has been granted a patent on "Policy Enforcement": http://www.freepatentsonline.com/8498959.html http://www.freepatentsonline.com/8498959.pdf As far as I can see, it heavily constrains the commercial exploitation of research done in the Semantic Web / Semantic Web Services community from 2001-2009. So if you worked on policies in the context of Semantic Web Services or Semantic Business Process Management before November 2009, it may be worthwhile to check whether the patent claims inventions that you can prove to have been prior art at that time. This may be particularly relevant for the organizers and contributors to the various policy workshops co-located with ISWC/ESWC conferences. I am not familiar with the legal process, but if you feel this patent claims what was already publicly known / discussed at conferences back then, please ask your employer or legal department to challenge the patent. It may otherwise put the usage of SWS in business applications at risk.

Although not a LD/W3C place, http://askpatents.com might be a good place to discuss it, and also get expert help and help submitting prior art.

[ANN] FedX 3.0 - Linked Data in a Federation
We are happy to announce the new major release FedX 3.0. FedX is a framework for efficient federated query processing involving multiple distributed Linked Data sources. FedX allows to easily setup on-demand federations by specifying a list of relevant datasets (e.g. SPARQL endpoints from the LOD cloud) and to query these in an efficient and transparent way as a virtually combined dataset. Implemented as a Sesame SAIL, FedX can be used in Java applications or via an easy-to-use command line interface. Going beyond the federation support defined in the SPARQL 1.1 federation extensions, FedX makes it possible to dynamically set up federations over distributed sources and efficiently execute standard SPARQL queries (i.e., queries without federation extensions) transparently over the federation. New in this version: * Support for latest SPARQL 1.1 language features * Monitoring facilities (query log, query plan, JMX monitoring) * Usability improvements (validation of endpoints, robustness, error reporting) * Improvements to optimization techniques (join order rules, bound joins using VALUES, ...) * IDs of federation members can be used as aliases in SERVICE * Upgrade to Sesame 2.7.3 * Documentation * Various minor Bugfixes For more information and downloads, please see http://www.fluidops.com/FedX. To keep up to date with FedX developments, you can register to our mailing lists [1] We welcome your feedback and comments. On behalf of the FedX team, Andreas [1] iwb-discuss...@googlegroups.com
