Re: Predicate for 'related' things based on Wikipedia links?

Hi Nicholas, I am doing a similar thing for DBpedia Spotlight [1], and was thinking about using skos:related "The property skos:related is used to assert an associative link between two SKOS concepts." "skos:related is not defined as a transitive property." The only problem might be: Domain: skos

Re: Layered Data

Interesting thoughts. It would be nice to have some "default" widely accepted facets within an extensible model. I had a somewhat related discussion with Niko Popitsch last year on how "database views" could look like in the LOD world. The discussion was a follow up to his talk: Keep Your Triples

Re: WWW 2012 metadata available + applications for metadata challenge

Hi all, great job! I'm looking forward to playing with the data. I expected to find a couple of things on the home page, but didn't: - Link to bulk downloads - SPARQL endpoint and HTML form for playing with queries (guessed the endpoint at /sparql, but I think we should make it easier) Also, the

Google Summer of Code with DBpedia Spotlight

Hi all, If you are a student (BSc,MSc,PhD) and would like to get some Google funding to spend the northern summer or the southern winter coding away with us from the DBpedia Spotlight project, I just wanted to remind you that the deadline is this Friday (less than 2 days). You can apply at: http:/

Re: CKAN LOD Validator - two questions

Andreas, There is help here: http://www4.wiwiss.fu-berlin.de/lodcloud/ckan/validator/levels.html I quickly checked your entry and noticed that the link to the void file was placed in the extras field, instead of resources. I have updated your record, but it still didn't update the validator. It ma

Re: DBpedia: limit of triples

>'yes, i also consider DBpedia buggy in this sense (hence the crossposting)' Just a small note. I think you mean that the SPARQL engine behind a particular deployment of DBpedia is behaving differently from what you would desire. Although there are bugs in DBpedia, this is not one of them. :) I th

Re: Dataset URIs and metadata.

Frans, There are discussions on how to consume VoID files in CKAN.net ( thedatahub.org) in order to keep a catalog of available datasets on the Web. But, meanwhile, perhaps you would like to update the information manually there, so that other people can find your dataset whenever they are searchin

Re: Get your dataset on the next LOD cloud diagram

Thanks, Thomas. Giovanni, it was a coreference resolution problem from my side. You meant 'they'=datasets and I read 'they'=people. It was anyhow a possible question to come by and it's (hopefully) clearer now. Sorry for the confusion. Now to the intended question. I will discuss the issue of ava

Re: Get your dataset on the next LOD cloud diagram

Giovanni, Thanks for helping to build a preemptive Q&A for dataset providers. First, there is no 'taking off'. The 2007...2010 versions will remain online forever with the help of web archive. Second, I assume you refer to the relatively short time span between my message to the list and the desire

Get your dataset on the next LOD cloud diagram

Dear fellow Linked Open Data publishers and consumers, We are in the process of regenerating the next LOD cloud diagram and associated statistics [1]. We would like to invite those of you who publish data sets as Linked Data to join the other ~2000 data sets already in CKAN ( http://ckan.net ) to h

Re: Think before you write Semantic Web crawlers

We might have learned a couple of things about teaching, although we seemed to have focused the discussion on only one. Maybe we should also consider that companies/universities advising people (esp. small companies) to publish Linked Data, should give them complete advice, including protection.

Re: Exciting changes at Data.Southampton.ac.uk!

Good point, Barry. Good work, Christopher! I was wondering myself why aren't the PDFs annotated with terms derived from an ontology but using artificial modeling constructs to enable us to do reasoning with them? On Fri, Apr 1, 2011 at 9:57 AM, Barry Norton < barry.nor...@aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de> w
