Re: Linked Data Movie Quiz
Guillermo, This is a very nice demo, well done! Is the architecture generic enough to apply to other datasets? Musicbrainz would be a good one once the new linked data version is ready.

Re: Linked Data Movie Quiz
Hi Ian, We're glad you liked it. :-) We considered using other datasets (for example, we thought geographic questions could've been potentially interesting), and it would be indeed nice to expand the scope of the quiz to other fields, as you suggest. It wouldn't be so straightforward to do so out-of-the-box (in a refined version, first of all we'd need to carry the logic to the server-side; because of the contest rules, all the queries were done via javascript from the browser), but we plan to upload the code to GitHub (maybe in November) and we can further discuss from there. Cheers! - -g El 18/10/2010 18:05, Ian Davis escribió: Guillermo, This is a very nice demo, well done! Is the architecture generic enough to apply to other datasets?
