Hi all, (I keep posting to all lists, as this is probably relevant to all of us)
Your background information on the work that Ben Martin has been doing together with you at KO GmbH is highly relevant. I just looked at the excellent blog post and Video at Ben's blog and can recommend this to everyone involved in RDF and NEPOMUK: http://monkeyiq.blogspot.com/2010/01/koffice-and-rdf-say-it-with-style.html "The ODF document format lets you store RDF/XML data inside the document file..." "you can send somebody a single file containing exact information about real world events. ... For example, for a given contact you might know his phone number, home page, normal business location, email address etc." "Of course, you can drag and drop items from the RDF docker into kaddressbook and korganizer. These pieces of information should be able to be moved into and out of an ODF file using KOffice without thinking about it.You want to add Fred to the text, pick him up from your kaddressbook and drop him into the RDF docker. Your default contact stylesheet is then used to insert some text into the document at the current cursor location showing you the Fred contact. Quick and simple... Lets make RDF something everybody uses but nobody needs to learn about (unless they want to). " ... this sounds like Timbl's fancy dreams turning into reality. http://vimeo.com/8968973 this is excellent and if the work from Ben and KOffice and NEPOMUK would somehow come together, I see that we could get most of the RDF from NEPOMUK into the documents and back from the documents into NEPOMUK. best Leo p.s. I am seeing the rdfs:seeAlso links as most most most important thing in the light of ODF. For example I also talked with Professor Dr. Philipp Slusallek from DFKI who works on the XML3D standard - its embedding 3D scenegraphs into a HTML DOM tree and there is a pimped firefox rendering the 3D. Of course, they use RDFa and rdfs:seeAlso links to point to the real-world counterparts of objects you see in the scenegraph (http://xml3d.com).
