Springer Nature retired SciGraph earlier this month. I have been the data architect and then technical lead for this project, so this is post is just a reminder of the great things we did in it. Also, a little rant about the things that weren't that great...

blog A few useful Linked Data resources.
Mar 2011
I've done a bit of semantic web work in the last couple of weeks, which gave me a chance to better explore the current landscape around this topic. I'm working on some example applications myself, but in the meantime I thought I'd share some quite useful links I've encountered.
blog Survey of Pythonic tools for RDF and Linked Data programming.
Feb 2011
The Resource Description Framework (RDF) is a data model and language that is quickly gaining momentum in the open-data and data-integration worlds. In this post, I'm reporting on a recent survey I conducted in the context of a Linked Data project I'm working on, SAILS. In SAILS, we're developing a prototype for RDF data manipulation and querying. Since the final application will be written in Python and Django, in what follows I've tried to gather information about all existing libraries and frameworks for RDF programming using Python.

blog DBpedia rocks.
Sep 2007
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 there'll be time to experiment too...
