- An interactive Turtle shell
Wouldn’t it be nice to have an interactive environment where you quickly hack together an RDF model and then show it to your clients or colleagues in a more accessible format – i.e. a diagram? Don’t know if there’s anything like that already, but the other day while polishing up the OntosPy library I’ve taken […]
- Textmate bundle for Turtle and Sparql
I recently ran into the Textmate bundle for Turtle, an extension for the Textmate osx editor aimed at facilitating working with RDF and SPARQL. If you happen to be using these technologies, well I’d suggest you take a look at the following post. The Resource Description Framework is a general-purpose language for representing information which […]
- ESWC 2013 – report from the conference
Last week I attended the European Semantic Web Conference (ESWC’13) in Montpellier and had a really good time meeting old friends and catching up with the latest research in this area. In this post I’ll collect a few pointers to papers and ideas that caught my attention. For a high level summary of the talks, […]
- Semantic Web Cheat Sheets
Here’re a couple of reference sheets that can become handy if you’re doing any semantic web related work. I’ve found both of them online, and will add more to this list as they come along. N3 Language Cheatsheet I found this table on this blog post: http://aabs.wordpress.com/semantic-web/the-n3-cheat-sheet/. Some of the formatting was messed up on […]
- Hack4Europe! – Europeana hackathon roadshow, June 2011
Europeana is a multilingual digital collection containing more than 15 millions resources that lets you explore Europe’s history from ancient times to the modern day. Europeana API services are web services allowing search and display of Europeana collections in your website and applications. The folks at Europeana have been actively promoting the experimentation with their […]
- A few useful Linked Data resources
Done a bit of semantic web work in the last couple of weeks, which gave me a chance to explore better the current web-scenario around this topic. I’m working on some example applications myself, but in the meanwhile I thought I’d share here a couple of quite useful links I ran into. Development Tools: Quick […]
- Survey of Pythonic tools for RDF and Linked Data programming
In this post I’m reporting on a recent survey I made in the context of a Linked Data project I’m working on, SAILS. The Resource Description Framework (RDF) is a data model and language which is quickly gaining momentum in the open-data and data-integration worlds. In SAILS we’re developing a prototype for rdf-data manipulation and […]
- Python links (and more) 7/2/11
This post contains just a collection of various interesting things I ran into in the last couple of weeks… they’re organized into three categories: pythonic links, events and conferences, and new online tools. Hope you’ll find something of interest! Pythonic stuff: Epidoc Epydoc is a handy tool for generating API documentation for Python modules, based […]
- How semantic is the semantic web?
Just read this article thanks to a colleague: I share pretty much everything it says about the SW, so I though it wouldn’t be too bad to pass it on to the next reader. Basically, it is about some very fundamental issues: what do we mean by semantics? Does a computer have semantics? If not, […]
- DBpedia rocks
It’s not the only semweb repository out there, but for sure it’s the more interesting. The whole wikipedia has been translated into RDF and made queryable through SPARQL.. lots of potential mashups waiting to be discovered! At the moment i’m looking at integrating the philosophy KB i’ve created with information from there… but I hope […]
