00:49:48<tommorris>A:|Python FOAF Generator (leahculver.com) - updated
00:50:15<tommorris>A: A while back I e-mailed Leah Culver about the FOAF that Pownce exports, asking her to update it so that it uses urirefs for the rdfs:seeAlso
00:50:55<tommorris>A: She's applied the patch to the downloadable version on her blog, and said in the e-mail that the new version will be on the site in a few days.
00:51:09<tommorris>A: A bit more linked data to add to the cloud! ;)
00:56:21<DanC_lap>ACTION reads up on pownce, wondering how much longer he can avoid joining...
01:17:13<tommorris>DanC_lap: It's like Twitter but more for designery types
01:17:31<tommorris>Does lots of nice microformats though.
01:33:50<CaptSolo>hi all
01:36:53<CaptSolo>is there an IRC backchannel for WWW'08 / Linked Data workshop (LDOW'08)?
01:37:37<CaptSolo>can't be we are loosing the spirit of IRC scribing / feedback
01:39:00<timbl_>I would like soemone to scribe it, as I am in a dfferent session for a bit
01:39:07<DanC_lap>good question, CaptSolo ; I haven't heard
01:39:17<DanC_lap>ericP? any clues?
01:39:46<timbl_>If there was no chaneel, I would suggest this one
01:58:04<CaptSolo>Currently in LDOW2008:
01:58:30<CaptSolo> - A Case Study on Linked Data Generation and Consumption. presented by Jianqiang Li
01:58:59<CaptSolo>already had presentations on:
01:59:13<CaptSolo> - Weaving SIOC into the Web of Linked Data, presented by /me
01:59:41<CaptSolo> - Semantic Marc, MARC21 and The Semantic Web. presented by Rob Styles
02:00:54<CaptSolo> - The OAI2LOD Server: Exposing OAI-PMH Metadata as Linked Data. presented by Bernhard Haslhofer. with a short live demo at the end.
02:01:11<CaptSolo>hi cerealtom!
02:02:23<cerealtom>ACTION waves to CaptSolo
02:02:48<CaptSolo>ACTION waves bck in the physical world
02:02:54<cerealtom>ACTION will try to scribe more from LDOW2008 in next session - chairing this one
02:03:30<kasei>anyone know where I might find large sample data that makes use of owl:sameAs and Functional/InverseFunctional properties?
02:03:42<CaptSolo>cerealtom: could someone announce before the next session that there is an IRC channel that can be used as a backchannel
02:03:53<CaptSolo>and ask for scribing volunteers
02:04:28<CaptSolo>often it's just a question of letting participants know there is a backchan
02:06:18<CaptSolo>ACTION can not scribe right now (and a mild RSI does not help it either)
02:08:00<CaptSolo>cerealtom: is information about LDOW'08 papers available as linked RDF data?
02:45:19<CaptSolo>SparqlPlug presentation on now at LDOW2008
02:51:00<CaptSolo>"SparqlPlug offers a simple, partially automated & scalable solution to creation and maintenance of RDF data from arbitrary HTML sources"
02:56:16<CaptSolo>riese presentation now

03:05:48<cerealtom>next talk at LDOW2008: Provenance and Linked Data in Biological Data Webs
03:06:00<cerealtom>by Jun Zhao, Graham Klyne and David Shotton
03:06:45<cerealtom>authors from the bioinformatics research group in the biology dept at oxford uni
03:07:08<cerealtom>so comp scientists working with fruitfly researchers ;)

03:08:38<cerealtom>D:FlyWeb project
03:09:27<cerealtom>integrates genomic data with publications etc
03:09:54<cerealtom>wow, based on real user research with biologists
03:10:09<CaptSolo>dc_swig: pointer
03:10:22<CaptSolo>(or how do you ask for the current moment in logs?)
03:11:08<cerealtom>d2rserver++
03:12:08<cerealtom>flyweb uses flybase database the create mappings, but do the biologists trust the results?
03:12:31<cerealtom>^^ is the key question of this paper: trust and provenance of links
03:13:28<CaptSolo>"how many biologists are here in the room?" - (not many hands raised) -> "that's good ;)"
03:14:20<CaptSolo>B:transcript / irc discussion logs at [http://chatlogs.planetrdf.com/swig/2008-04-22.html#T01-36-53]
03:15:30<cerealtom>provenance tracking in FlyWeb done with Named Graphs
03:18:19<CaptSolo>"now i will do a short demo"
03:18:54<CaptSolo>"and i touched my code last night when i was heavily jetlagged which i think was not a very good idea :)"
03:19:15<cerealtom>demo running on localhost - does work it seems, despite jet lag :)
03:20:21<cerealtom>"hard to find a good interface for explanations retrieved from the data set"
03:20:37<cerealtom>(as in provenance explanations)
03:23:17<cerealtom>question from kidehen; "you aware of all the biordf projects...?"
03:24:10<cerealtom>big question from ChrisB: how to create interfaces for provenance info
03:24:59<CaptSolo>"sorry, i am not a big fan for RDF visualizations"
03:25:07<cerealtom>JunZhao: "not a fan of rdf graph visualisations"
03:25:22<cerealtom>next talk from LDOW2008...
03:25:23<cerealtom>Open Data Commons, a License for Open Data
03:25:24<cerealtom>Paul Miller, Rob Styles and Tom Heath
03:25:26<CaptSolo>cerealtom: what was this in a reply to?
03:26:10<cerealtom>ChrisB: "Licensing a big issue not fully addressed"
03:26:49<cerealtom>CaptSolo: the rdf graph visualisation question was in response to Chris's question about explanation interfaces
03:26:59<cerealtom>Paul_Miller shows the LOD coud
03:27:24<cerealtom>"all this data is great!" -- Paul_Miller
03:27:47<cerealtom>"but all these bubbles..are a tiny drop in the ocean"
03:28:04<cerealtom>"where is all the rest? hiding away in silos"
03:30:15<cerealtom>"how do i publish my data and still protect myself?"
03:30:40<cerealtom>"what if i get it wrong, what if someone takes the data?"
03:30:58<cerealtom>"FUD -> I'll do nothing, and will just keep quiet"
03:31:28<cerealtom>(and hope that kidehen doesnt come asking for the data)
03:32:09<cerealtom>Paul_Miller quotes timbl from intro to LDOW2008 workshop: "Linked data is the semantic web done right, and its the web done right"
03:32:40<cerealtom>"openness is not just 'religion'" -- Paul_Miller
03:33:13<cerealtom>"there are valid social and economic reasons for publishing data"
03:33:55<cerealtom>Paul_Miller quotes Tim O'Reilly: "we have open software and open apis, but what about the openness of the data?"
03:34:18<cerealtom>"open makes good economic sense" - Paul_Miller
03:35:03<cerealtom>Paul_Miller quotes from UK Office of Fair Trading report about commercial reuse of government data
03:36:31<cerealtom>Report says "if data were to be freely avaiable the UK would be GBP500million better off"
03:38:12<cerealtom>Paul_Miller "when talking about data, copyright DOES NOT APPLY"
03:38:29<cerealtom>"copyright is about protecting creative works"
03:38:41<cerealtom>"data is not a creative work"
03:39:15<cerealtom>"saying nothing about the protections on your data is not enough" -- Paul_Miller
03:40:03<cerealtom>"simply putting data out there without clear licensing turns will probably turn people away"
03:40:21<cerealtom>"database right applies in EU, but NOT in USA"
03:40:38<cerealtom>"different views in other jurisdictions"
03:41:06<cerealtom>"We need to be explicit, and say exactly how we're licensing data"
03:41:15<kasei>"database right"?
03:41:47<cerealtom>kasei: see http://events.linkeddata.org/ldow2008/papers/08-miller-styles-open-data-commons.pdf

03:44:36<cerealtom>"rather than pretending that protections exist when they dont, due to different jurisdictions, waive rights and gift to the public domain, then layer protections back on top"
03:44:52<cerealtom>"...using community norms"
03:45:14<cerealtom>'what does this mean for the Linked Data world?"
03:45:54<cerealtom>"more data, because of less ambiguity, more linking and reuse of data, as can be sure of the terms under which i can use it"
03:46:13<cerealtom>"make a conscious decision about what you want to do with your data"
03:46:35<CaptSolo>B:related live twitter messages: [http://www.hashtags.org/tag/www2008/] and [http://www.hashtags.org/tag/ldow2008/]
03:46:47<cerealtom>"take a look at the license; if it works for you then use it; if it doesnt, use something else; both are fine, just be explicit"
03:47:25<cerealtom>Paul_Miller++ #for great talk, and very steady presentation style (makes for easy transcribing)
03:47:54<cerealtom>question fro Daniel Schwabe: what about licensing vocabs, ontologies, thesauri?
03:48:14<cerealtom>Paul_Miller "prob covered by copyright"
03:49:29<cerealtom>mmmmmrob answers: republishing existing copyrighted vocab (for example) eg as a an OWL ontology is likely to be a copyright infringement"
03:50:19<cerealtom>kidehen "why arent mashups coming up against this issue?"
03:51:20<cerealtom>mmmmmrob answers "we're moving from technical demos to wanting to use this for enterprise and business"
03:52:08<cerealtom>"more licensing is inevitable; precedents are e.g. open source - very informal at first, the peope realised you had to get explicit"
03:52:18<cerealtom>(from mmmmmrob)
03:52:24<cerealtom>mmmmmmrob++
03:52:41<cerealtom>"if code is unlicensed you dont build on top of it"
03:52:51<cerealtom>"second precedent is CC"
03:53:03<cerealtom>kidehen "how are we going to bootstrap this?"
03:53:30<cerealtom>Paul_Miller "LOD is the lighthouse example, so need to lead by example"
03:54:13<cerealtom>now a couple of demos at LDOW2008...
03:54:15<cerealtom>Browser-based Semantic Mapping Tool for Linked Data in Semantic Web
03:54:16<cerealtom>Chunying Zhou, Chengli Xu, Huajun Chen and Kingsley Idehen
03:54:42<timbl>It is very much in Amazon's interest as a seller to have information about its available goods widely available.. If other bookstores do expose data commons licensed data on their products, and Amazon sues people ho scrape their data sform Amazon APIs, then people will be drawn to buy books from other places.
03:55:01<timbl>^ Tim's reply to to kidehen's question
03:55:18<DanC_lap>ACTION wonders what "the events of last night" were
03:55:46<cerealtom>DanC: giovannit left his laptop in a cab :(
03:55:57<DanC_lap>ouch.
03:56:21<cerealtom>yeah, not looking like he'll see it again
03:56:57<cerealtom>.g xmla
03:56:58<phenny>cerealtom: http://www.xmlforanalysis.com/
03:57:34<IvanHerman>afaik, cabs have their number printed on the receipts, he may be able to track that down. If he has the receipt, Giovanni should ask help from the conference organizers right away...
03:58:11<cerealtom>IvanHerman: yes, Giovanni has the receipt and been in touch with the company, but is disputed about whether it was left in the cab or not
03:58:31<IvanHerman>than, as DanC just said: ouch:-(
03:59:09<cerealtom>he's getting help from Huajun Chen, but some additional "encouragement" from the conf organisers may help aswell
03:59:20<cerealtom>may add additional weight IvanHerman
03:59:50<cerealtom>ACTION impressed by demo, but hard to follow and scribe at the same time
04:00:29<DanC_lap>hmm... "you can see what's going on right now" ... I'm kinda struggling... maybe just jet-lag; i wish he'd start with "so we're trying to sell some shoes" or something less technical
04:00:53<IvanHerman>cerealtom: contact An Qi Li, +8613466746557. She has a very good English and is extremely helpful. She might be around
04:01:35<DanC_lap>IvanHerman, was that phone number previously published?
04:02:38<cerealtom>IvanHerman: thanks, will pass that on
04:03:27<DanC_lap>where he says "sparql graph pattern" I tend to think of "rules"; I wonder if any RIF folks are watching
04:14:47<tuukkah>is it lunch time in beijing ?-)
04:16:20<bbagins>I'm storing arbitrary binary data (a jpeg) to a char * and want to store it in a Perl scalar and save it from a Perl program, when I return the char * and Perl only saves the first few bytes, any pointers to handling binary data in strings would greatly be appreciated
04:18:07<kasei>bbagins: wrong channel
04:19:24<bbagins>kasei, ah, thanks, sincere apologies
04:19:37<kasei>no worries
05:25:19<mmmmmrob>kidehen: when you get a sec: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mmmmmrob/2433392050/
05:26:03<kidehen>phenny, tell timbl: http://umbel.org/about
05:26:03<phenny>kidehen: I'll pass that on when timbl is around.

06:10:37<cerealtom>LeeF: timbl was bigging up Boca here in Beijing
06:12:40<LeeF>cerealtom, guess I need to do a better job getting the word out that Boca was forked a while ago and active development is proceding in Open Anzo :-)
06:12:55<LeeF>thanks for the tidbit

06:14:24<cerealtom>K:Open Anzo, successor to/fork of Boca
06:14:44<LeeF>The demo itself isn't - we're working on doing a "for real" version of that, though

06:17:04<timbl>How much of Cambridge Semantics work is open source?
06:17:10<timbl>Is there a policy
06:17:12<timbl>?
06:18:14<LeeF>timbl: Policy is still being written & rewritten. Right now, most (I'd estimate 80-90%) is open source.
06:18:33<LeeF>We're doing a lot of serious thinking about what to do with the rest - very seriously considering free academic and perhaps non-profit licenses for all of it
06:18:35<LeeF>But undecided
06:19:07<timbl>And the business model?
06:19:38<LeeF>Better answered in person, since it's a somewhat involved answer :)
06:20:05<timbl>:)
06:20:30<timbl>Lunch some time then, or drop in if passing my office
06:20:36<LeeF>Will do.

07:01:37<mhausenblas>ACTION waves to the LDOW08 people and hopes you have a great time ;)
07:02:02<tuukkah>in case anyone has questions about fenfire i'm happy to discuss
07:02:56<CaptSolo>tuukkah is the author of Fenfire which i just presented at #ldow2008
07:03:24<CaptSolo>developers and all interested to play with it, please contact tuukkah
07:03:27<CaptSolo>and ask questions
07:04:21<mmmmmrob>tuukkah: what's the nest URI to get fenfire from?
07:04:28<cerealtom>latest LDOW2008 presentation: n2Mate: Exploiting social capital to create a standards-rich semantic network
07:04:29<cerealtom>David Peterson, Anne Cregan, Rob Atkinson and John Brisbin
07:04:38<mmmmmrob>s/nest/best/
07:05:29<cerealtom>"for sw to take off, we need to have a manageable set of ontologies which are heavily used and heavily interlinked"
07:05:37<tuukkah>mmmmmrob, the repo is at http://antti-juhani.kaijanaho.fi/darcs/fenfire-hs or i got http://tuukka.iki.fi/tmp/fenfire-0.2.tar.gz
07:06:12<mmmmmrob>tuukkah: this is not the same as http://fenfire.org is it?
07:06:17<CaptSolo>tuukkah: is that the source or the binary you compiled for the presentation?
07:06:33<tuukkah>mmmmmrob, there's only 0.1 there, but the repo is the same
07:06:36<cerealtom>"some angles on the problem: get consensus, but hard with a large group; do automated matching; social angle: encourage reuse"
07:06:47<CaptSolo>ACTION can recommend an easy way to try Fenfire - just use Ubuntu LiveCD and a pre-compiled binary
07:06:48<mmmmmrob>tuukkah: thanks
07:06:57<CaptSolo>under virtualisation on a Mac :D
07:08:10<Cloud_>I will exchange 1 sioc t-shirt for 1 semantic web sticker for my laptop (pleez!) CaptSolo: did you catch a keyring earlier?
07:08:22<CaptSolo>Cloud_: no :(
07:08:36<CaptSolo>ah, and SemWeb stickers rock too.
07:08:54<Cloud_>we'll have to make one so out of an old plastic bottle, a can and a printout from the website
07:08:59<CaptSolo>liked TimBL's approach of replacing apple logo with it
07:09:05<LeeF>K:|Open Anzo, successor to/fork of Boca
07:09:26<LeeF>g'night WWWers - thanks for all the commentary!
07:09:28<tuukkah>CaptSolo, that's the source. the binary will only work on ubuntu 7.10 i think
07:09:30<EliasT>LeeF: go to bed!
07:09:34<cerealtom>"n2mate, exploit existing social processes"
07:09:50<EliasT>I skipped the conference today...
07:09:52<LeeF>EliasT: How'd the RDFa tute go?
07:10:06<EliasT>It was good... like 25-30 folks..
07:10:09<EliasT>lots of good questions
07:10:12<CaptSolo>tuukkah: still a simple way to start. i enjoyed it so much (running from livecd). makes many more non-specialists try it
07:10:17<EliasT>no microformat battles.
07:10:22<cerealtom>ACTION thinks there will be more keyrings in the w3c track tomorrow
07:10:24<LeeF>Any particularly interesting use cases discussed?
07:10:37<cerealtom>EliasT: phew;)
07:10:51<EliasT>Discussions with Yahoo folks.
07:10:51<kidehen>cerealtom: UMBEL presentation: http://www.slideshare.net/mkbergman/umbel-semantic-web-services/ (can be associated with Zitgist demo )
07:11:13<mhausenblas>EliasT: what's about the background .. how many have heard about RDFa/RDF before?
07:11:15<iand> EliasT: are you coming to xtech?
07:11:29<EliasT>iand: no xtech for me..
07:11:36<EliasT>I'd love to visit Dublin.
07:11:36<tuukkah>CaptSolo, here's the binary: http://tuukka.iki.fi/tmp/fenfire-ubuntu710v2.tar.gz
07:11:43<EliasT>We just got back from the Forbidden City
07:11:48<EliasT>had to miss the Talis presentation
07:11:56<EliasT>but did have breakfast with Paul and others...
07:12:00<KiYanWang>EliasT-- ... hope your brought back some sweets :p
07:12:13<EliasT>We bought a lot of tea
07:12:18<Paul_Miller>ACTION hopes EliasT has sweeties, too.
07:12:20<EliasT>oolong, puehr, etc.
07:12:27<Paul_Miller>ACTION really fancies some chocolate, actually...
07:12:33<EliasT>got a foot massage
07:12:34<EliasT>Ben is looking for sweets too...
07:12:37<EliasT>(Adida)
07:12:45<Paul_Miller>EliasT: Presentation S. Plural.
07:12:45<EliasT>there's a grocery store 5min walk from here...
07:12:47<KiYanWang>EliasT: tell mmmmmrob he's after a massage
07:12:51<EliasT>we should make a trip.
07:12:54<Paul_Miller>So you missed two. So feel VERY guilty.
07:12:54<ghard>tuukkah: got a distro/package handy that runs under MacOSX?
07:13:06<EliasT>He just has to be prepared for the SALES PITCH
07:13:17<EliasT>they told me I'm going to have health complications very soon
07:13:25<EliasT>but the foot massage WAS VERY GOOD
07:13:27<iand>EliasT: :(
07:13:38<iand>(for no xtech)
07:13:38<mmmmmrob>EliasT: where did you go?
07:13:42<tuukkah>ghard, nope :-(
07:13:48<EliasT>we took a tour
07:13:52<EliasT>Forbidden/T. Square
07:13:56<EliasT>private driver
07:14:03<EliasT>she then took us to different places
07:14:09<EliasT>silk factory, foot massage, tea house
07:14:12<CaptSolo>tuukkah: thanks
07:14:16<EliasT>all to get you to buy stuff....
07:14:17<ghard>tuukkah: OK
07:14:30<EliasT>We should all go to Tea house tonight
07:14:37<EliasT>it's AWESOME
07:14:46<EliasT>private rooms.. girl serving tea...
07:14:50<ghard>ACTION has not slept 6 hours during last 72...
07:14:54<EliasT>delicious... and we can have some good laughs
07:14:58<EliasT>who's up for it?
07:15:07<EliasT>only half of Talis came come.. though.
07:15:27<CaptSolo>ghard: have you got VMWare fusion?
07:15:32<Paul_Miller>EliasT: bah.
07:15:41<EliasT>what else is happening right now?
07:15:42<ghard>In about 10 minutes if need be ;)
07:15:42<Paul_Miller>COFFEE!!!
07:15:43<EliasT>at the conf..
07:15:46<mmmmmrob>EliasT: half of Talis ~= 40 people :)
07:15:53<CaptSolo>EliasT: where is the teahouse?
07:15:56<EliasT>mmmmmrob: that's good..
07:15:59<EliasT>Dr. Tea
07:16:02<EliasT>it's close from here...
07:16:08<EliasT>not sure if we can walk or not..
07:16:10<ghard>Yeehaw caffeine. I'd need some intravenously.
07:17:02<ghard>ACTION is going to talk VM with CaptSolo over coffee.
07:17:23<EliasT>I'm looking for a dumpling place tonight.
07:17:29<EliasT>no more peking duck for me
07:17:40<timbl>:)
07:17:46<CaptSolo>ghard: just get Ubuntu 7.10 CD then
07:18:06<EliasT>We should get a big group for Tea House though.
07:18:08<CaptSolo>i have a CD here, so you can just make an image and attach it in Fusion
07:18:17<EliasT>Where is everyone at right now? I'll walk over...
07:18:25<CaptSolo>then get the binaries that tuukkah pasted link to
07:18:30<CaptSolo>and you are all set
07:18:38<ghard>CaptSolo: Gonna have to find out how to get enough HD space free :(
07:18:46<CaptSolo>even get the demo data as a bonus :)
07:18:52<ghard>Yummy
07:18:58<CaptSolo>which were included in the arhi=ve to do the demo
07:19:20<CaptSolo>ghard: ok, you can keep the CD. then you won't need HDD space :)
07:19:21<Cloud_>@captsolo: did oyu hear @jccq had his laptop stolen out of a taxi? :(
07:19:40<CaptSolo>Cloud_: yes :( bad :(
07:19:50<ghard>Yoda sez: Bloatware these modern linux distros are. Too much C++ code there is.
07:19:58<CaptSolo>EliasT: what' s wrong with Peking duck?
07:20:04<kjetilkWork>EliasT, just be really sure you understand the menu first
07:20:12<CaptSolo>ghard: Yoda right, he is
07:20:15<EliasT>Cloud_: How did that happen?
07:20:21<Cloud_>Ah that was the best quote of Kingsley's talk this morning: CyCorp = Yoda
07:20:22<kjetilkWork>they robbed me of 50 Yuan per tiny cup of tea
07:20:34<CaptSolo>we went to a noodle place somewhere not too far away from here
07:20:37<CaptSolo>last night
07:20:46<CaptSolo>like 2 blocks away (two large blocks)
07:20:53<CaptSolo>just wondered in there, was cool
07:20:55<Cloud_>EliasT: unsure, I think someone opened the door, but no sign of it anyway :/
07:21:13<ghard>ACTION runs for the coffee now...
07:21:35<mhausenblas>ACTION likes the redesign of http://blogs.talis.com/nodalities/2008/04/this-weeks-semantic-web.php
07:21:56<EliasT>CaptSolo: nothing wrong... but I want something else....
07:23:52<iand>thanks mhausenblas
07:26:47<bblfish>is everyone in china?
07:26:59<tuukkah>i wish i were :-)
07:27:15<EliasT>the problem is scheduling time for the great wall
07:27:19<EliasT>not enough time
07:27:22<iand>ACTION wonders what time it is in Beijing
07:27:24<mhausenblas>bblfish: no, 'just' about 1 billion people ;)
07:27:28<EliasT>3:27 pm
07:27:48<bblfish>yes, I was just checking in my cal
07:29:13<Cloud_>http://oscf.davelangley.com/
07:29:27<Cloud_>R: Online Semantic Community Framework
07:29:43<Cloud_>ACTION forgets how to use this
07:30:03<Cloud_>Ah yes
07:30:36<bblfish>I wonder if it is as polluted as the wired article described it http://www.wired.com/science/planetearth/magazine/15-08/ff_pollution
07:31:14<EliasT>Beijing?
07:32:18<bblfish>yes. I suppose it is not just a beijing problem though. Not sure where the conf now is taking place...
07:32:57<Cloud_>R:|A framework for managing online communities based on semantic technologies; a final-year project by Dave Langley, TCD
07:32:58<EliasT>Some people were saying I was going to come back sick.. with resp problems..
07:33:07<EliasT>a bit exaggerated if you ask me.
07:33:52<bblfish>well you are not running at Olympic standards

07:34:27<bblfish>I wonder why OSCF decided to replace the scroll bar with their own
07:34:27<Cloud_>(got them the wrong away around)
07:34:29<EliasT>Well the lady at the foot massage parlor said I could if I bought the oil there.
07:34:39<ghard>With the air here, neither will the marathon runners ;)
07:35:57<bblfish>ghard: you are in China?
07:38:23<ghard>Yeah
07:39:10<mmmmmrob>cerealtom++ # for suggesting we go to the bar
07:39:29<ghard>The bets are on... how many will actually make it to the finish.
07:39:33<mmmmmrob>8pm in the bar at the Crowne Plaza
07:39:50<ghard>I mean of the Marathon runners.
07:40:13<mmmmmrob>some confusion over which bar - just look for cerealtom kidehen or other linked data geeks with beer
07:41:08<ghard>ACTION is tempted but with the amount of sleep deprivation is afraid the Finnish reputation on booze tolerance would suffer.
07:41:14<cerealtom>current talk at LDOW2008
07:41:16<cerealtom>Automatic Interlinking of Music Datasets on the Semantic Web
07:41:16<cerealtom>Yves Raimond, Christopher Sutton and Mark Sandler
07:41:29<cerealtom>go on ghard, you can do it!
07:41:53<cerealtom>http://events.linkeddata.org/ldow2008/papers/18-raimond-sutton-automatic-interlinking.pdf
07:42:07<cerealtom>S: paper about interlinking music datasets on the web
07:42:53<cerealtom>talk covering datasets such as musicbrainz, jamendo, bbc etc
07:43:35<cerealtom>"goal: automated links but low number of false positives"
07:44:58<Cloud_>mmmmmrob: sounds good, is that the bar that also has food?
07:45:42<cerealtom>Cloud_: would be great if you could join us
07:45:49<ghard>Thought Crown plaza had astronomical pricing (?)
07:45:53<EliasT>hotel bar?
07:45:58<EliasT>booooooorrrinngg
07:46:04<mmmmmrob>EliasT++
07:46:52<ghard>Like I'd need to offer a write-up in Hitchhiker's Guide to The Galaxy to get out in hte end ;)
07:46:53<EliasT>I'll have to go over there and do some organization.
07:47:07<cerealtom>ACTION thinks that EliasT and mmmmmrob would feel differently if they were trying to organise an event in a foreign city with an attendance range between 2 and 100 ;)
07:47:20<EliasT>true...
07:47:48<mmmmmrob>cerealtom: nope, hotel bar is boring - appropriate for the event, but still boring
07:47:48<EliasT>Let's split in small groups with similar interests...
07:47:58<EliasT>everyone paste their FOAF url in here now, let's have a bot do the work
07:48:05<Cloud_>!
07:48:22<cerealtom>ACTION smiles at EliasT - get hacking then
07:48:24<cerealtom>;)
07:48:27<Paul_Miller>ACTION makes supportive noises in cerealtom's direction...
07:48:41<Cloud_>EliasBot is it? or dc_swig_foaf:interest_hacked_bot
07:48:42<cerealtom>everyone shares the same interest: linked data ;)
07:48:53<cerealtom>Paul_Miller++
07:49:02<Cloud_>you better get adding those interests to you profiles so
07:49:14<Cloud_>s/you profiles/your profiles
07:49:18<EliasT>we'll get an infinite loop
07:49:29<Paul_Miller>cerealtom: linked data and beer. Easy, innit?
07:49:53<Cloud_>Paul_Miller: sent you a Skype - can I get an Engage screenshot from you? Also, could you convince the Talis blog maintainer to install Uldis' SIOC exporter?
07:50:12<Cloud_>How's the power?
07:50:26<cerealtom>Cloud_++ #good idea re the sioc plugin
07:50:33<iand>Cloud_: we have tried :)
07:50:39<Paul_Miller>Cloud_: borrowing KiYanWang's power cord right now... ;-)
07:50:45<iand>but we're running Wordpress MU
07:51:02<Paul_Miller>Cloud_: Skype not on just now... :-(
07:51:14<Cloud_>iand: ahhhh
07:51:20<Paul_Miller>robotrobot: you got an Engage screenshot handy for Cloud_ (John Breslin, at DERI)
07:51:25<Cloud_>and it does something funny with authors for mu
07:51:41<iand>we'd love to have it on all our blogs though
07:51:58<cerealtom>CaptSolo: ping
07:52:04<Paul_Miller>Cloud_: definitely a good idea re plugin... Is Uldis MU-ifying it?
07:52:04<Cloud_>Cool, I'll ping CaptSolo when he returneth
07:52:06<iand>if we get some time we'll fix the plugin...
07:52:15<Cloud_>AFAIK the last time I installed it
07:52:19<iand>but maybe someone else will do it first
07:52:24<Cloud_>it worked on MU but exported all authors
07:52:31<Cloud_>from all blogs, which was bad
07:52:35<iand>ACTION offers us up as test guinea pigs
07:52:48<Paul_Miller>ACTION hides behind iand...
07:53:02<Cloud_>excellent, i have a wpmu install on journals.ie but getting further out of date - oops
07:53:13<Paul_Miller>Cloud_: you in the room?
07:53:22<Cloud_>No am at the AC meeting
07:53:38<robotrobot>Paul_Miller, Cloud_, anything you wish to see specifically?
07:53:49<Paul_Miller>Cloud_: ah... assumed it had finished, given some of the people now in the room...
07:53:56<Cloud_>something that shows the community area, discussions maybe
07:54:02<robotrobot>hold on..
07:54:06<Cloud_>Yeah, there's drifiting back and forth
07:54:07<Paul_Miller>Cloud_: robotrobot is 'responsible' for Engage... and here with us in China...
07:54:15<Cloud_>Ah excellent, must meet up!
07:54:19<mmmmmrob>everyone stop downloading while yves demos!
07:54:19<Cloud_>robotrobot: real name?
07:54:22<robotrobot>yeah, Engage was my fault...
07:54:23<robotrobot>Chris Clarke
07:54:26<Paul_Miller>Cloud_: he's also speaking about it on Friday afternoon in the Dev track...
07:54:27<robotrobot>you at www2008?
07:54:32<Cloud_>Cool Chris - see you later!
07:54:40<Cloud_>Yep - bu tI fly back Friday :(
07:54:49<robotrobot>ah, my talk is at 3ish on Friday
07:55:02<Paul_Miller>Cloud_: guess you're not coming with us to the Wall on Sat/Sun, then!
07:55:12<robotrobot>if you're coming along to the lodw2008 beer 'n meet later...
07:55:26<mmmmmrob>s/lodw/ldow
07:55:37<robotrobot>thanks mmmmmrob
07:55:43<Cloud_>No :( Dang! Yep will do!
07:55:45<Paul_Miller>mmmmmrob: no... lodw drinks in bar on left. ldow drinks in bar on right.
07:56:05<mmmmmrob>Paul_Miller: SPLITTERS!
07:56:07<Cloud_>ACTION realises that sounded schizophrenic
07:56:11<robotrobot>http://skitch.com/robot/kyfs/talis-engage-trial-cadbury-world
07:56:16<Paul_Miller>mmmmmrob: what have the Romans ever done for us ?
07:56:25<mmmmmrob>sanitation
07:56:33<Cloud_>Perfic - thanks!
07:56:41<robotrobot>This one shows Cadbury world represented in Engage
07:57:01<robotrobot>You can see how it links to the Person George Cadbury, a load of tags and some SKOS subjects
07:57:25<Paul_Miller>mmmmmrob: ok, other than sanitation, what have the Romans ever done for us?
07:58:04<Cloud_>(Am doing a talk about SIOC for our review board next month so need some screenies of commercial deployments)
07:58:24<Paul_Miller>Cloud_: happy to oblige... :-)
07:58:37<Paul_Miller>ACTION rephrases... Cloud_ happy to have CHRIS oblige!
07:58:53<mmmmmrob>Paul_Miller: The aqueduct.
07:58:55<CaptSolo>cerealtom: pong.
07:59:03<CaptSolo>what's up?
07:59:13<mmmmmrob>Paul_Miller: And the roads.
07:59:56<Paul_Miller>mmmmmrob: roads? Who needs roads?
08:00:10<robotrobot>rather than me spam the channel with screenshots Cloud_, see me after class ;-)
08:00:40<Paul_Miller>ACTION can't help feeling that spamming with Engage screenshots is rather more on-topic than Monty Python misquotes... ;-)
08:00:43<Cloud_>Yes sir!
08:01:05<robotrobot>lol
08:02:21<robotrobot>Cloud_ just bounced you a mail so you have my contact details
08:02:53<CaptSolo>Paul_Miller: re. MU-ifying - can be done. having someone who needs it and is ready to use a MU-ified version sounds good

08:03:16<cerealtom>Afraz Jaffri, Hugh Glaser and Ian Millard
08:03:30<Paul_Miller>CaptSolo: count us in... Might be worth ambling into #talis at your convenience, and saying 'Hi' to mauvedeity ...
08:04:54<timbl>ACTION finds that his safety-minded red cable is camouflaged in China
08:05:24<timbl> rkbexplorer.com
08:06:12<cerealtom>CaptSolo: fancy taking over the scribing for a moment? i need to concentrate on the talks!
08:06:21<Cloud_>Stay away from the red carpet everyone!
08:07:07<cerealtom>"hugh glaser has 20-something URIs for himself"
08:07:12<CaptSolo>re. Fenfire - what i should have mentioned is plans for remote publishing of RDF edits

08:10:54<cerealtom>CaptSolo++
08:11:04<CaptSolo>that different persons are conflated under one author URI on DBLP
08:11:26<CaptSolo>92% of authors with commo names had publications incorrectly merged
08:11:34<CaptSolo>worst case - 15 diff authors with 1 uri

08:14:45<CaptSolo>ChrisB: if you have a better algorith for improving our linked data...
08:14:50<CaptSolo>let us know
08:15:08<CaptSolo>ChrisB: owl:sameAs is a best effort
08:15:28<CaptSolo>... if we try not to use it whenever we cannot be sure we will never write anything
08:15:44<CaptSolo>Answer: for linked data we could come up with something better
08:16:15<CaptSolo>TimBL: was DBPedia using owl:sameAs when Wikipedia was describing 2 different things?
08:16:39<CaptSolo>can someone type ChriB's answer can't hear it here
08:17:36<CaptSolo>owl:sameAs as a best effort - if you get 99% of cases right, you can tolerate some noise (incorrect conflating, ...)
08:18:11<CaptSolo>may need some trust architecture
08:18:26<CaptSolo>TimBL: or use a human assisted disambiguation service
08:19:31<CaptSolo>re. trust architecture - if you are using reasoner, use trust architecture to throw the "unsure" assertions out

08:27:03<CaptSolo>use .name domains for minting individual URIs / entity IDs
08:27:23<CaptSolo>platforms that generate Web Data associated with individual identity
08:27:35<CaptSolo>such platforms would:

08:27:53<CaptSolo>"i suggest you use this name, let me create it for you"
08:27:57<CaptSolo>- DNS config
08:28:15<CaptSolo> - leverage shared vocabs and ontologies (FOAF, SIOC, and others)

08:37:23<CaptSolo>= Questions? =
08:37:40<CaptSolo>typical problem
08:37:51<CaptSolo> - been blogging on wordpress and now want to move somewhere else
08:38:15<CaptSolo> - linked data allows you to set up a new blog and reference / link to what you already have
08:38:52<CaptSolo>showibng Kingsley's interests
08:38:57<CaptSolo> - Linked Data
08:39:20<CaptSolo> - following the link, goes to LinkedData, (from DBPedia?)
08:39:29<CaptSolo>you are navigating the data all in one place
08:39:54<CaptSolo>cerealtom: at what point does Linked Data become a primary subject of this UI
08:39:56<CaptSolo>?
08:40:10<CaptSolo>(as Kinglsey' s profile / photo is still on screen)
08:40:19<yvesr>ACTION feels ashamed
08:40:38<CaptSolo>"if you clikc on Beijing, would it become primary topic of this screen?"
08:40:42<yvesr>first the buggy sound, now my URI doesnt dereference becasue of a dead server :)
08:41:11<CaptSolo>yvesr: just relax, it's your birthday
08:41:18<CaptSolo>who worries about servers?
08:41:23<CaptSolo>:)
08:42:14<yvesr>heh :-)
08:42:18<CaptSolo>Kinglsey: in the end we want to be able to send a query and find out what everyone is saying about me, ...
08:42:32<CaptSolo>Q: are you offering just another way to host RDF?
08:42:59<CaptSolo>Answ. - no. that is optional
08:43:21<CaptSolo>it has created an RDF view of all your web[2.0] content

08:43:51<CaptSolo>Linking Enterprise Data
08:44:11<CaptSolo>by François-Paul Servant from Renault
08:44:45<CaptSolo>integration of data sources in a corporation - expensive
08:44:50<CaptSolo>SW tech can help
08:45:03<CaptSolo>the adoption remains slow, though
08:45:43<CaptSolo>LOD = a major contribution to making the Web of Data a reality
08:45:57<CaptSolo>why not try the same strategy in an enterprise
08:45:58<CaptSolo>?
08:46:22<CaptSolo>> envisioning company's ISs as a space of linked data
08:46:56<CaptSolo>linked data provide effective solutions to questions of priority to Renault for ISs:
08:47:03<CaptSolo> - data repositories
08:47:05<CaptSolo> - services
08:49:26<CaptSolo>use case: tecnical after-sales docs
08:49:41<CaptSolo> - many objects need to be shared between many systems
08:49:47<CaptSolo>> the repository
08:49:57<CaptSolo> - a dictionary of terms that doc writers may use
08:50:10<CaptSolo> - content
08:50:47<CaptSolo>for each term: a code, labels (20 languages), list of corresponding "generic parts" (link b/w repair docs and spare parts catalogs)
08:50:58<CaptSolo>a SKOS-like hierarchy of terms
08:52:04<Cloud_>is kingsley still there? i think he is to give a talk to ac mtg
08:52:24<CaptSolo>implementing linked data principles
08:52:34<CaptSolo>- mintings URIs for iterms in repository
08:52:40<CaptSolo>Cloud_: yes
08:52:48<CaptSolo> - non-information resources
08:53:03<CaptSolo>Answering requests for the RDF about NIRs
08:53:19<CaptSolo>Answering requests for the HTML about NIRs
08:53:30<CaptSolo> - several options for HTML generation
08:53:42<CaptSolo>Client-side generation of HTML
08:54:05<CaptSolo> - a patch for Tabulator's parser made (to make it work with IE)
08:55:12<CaptSolo>Turning the solution into a simple, yet generic RDF browser
08:55:20<Cloud_>kidehen: are you giving a lightning talk?
08:55:27<CaptSolo> - semalink page about a tag
08:55:39<CaptSolo> - same resource described in RDF browser
08:55:43<kidehen>Cloud_: kinda
08:55:49<Cloud_>kidehen: two more talks left if you can make it here
08:55:55<CaptSolo>The repository, as linked data, is a servic
08:55:58<kidehen>I can send you a link
08:56:04<kidehen>to share with them :-)
08:56:07<CaptSolo> - no dedicated software is needed to understand / work with data
08:56:14<CaptSolo> - as generic parsers do the work
08:56:28<CaptSolo>a "Car configurator" screenshot
08:57:09<kidehen>Cloud_: please play: http://community.linkeddata.org/DAV/home/kidehen2/Public/URI%20Everything%20final.mp3
08:57:28<CaptSolo>Use of the repository for technical documentation
08:57:47<kidehen>Cloud_: a remix of You are Everything is You as: URI Everything and Everything is Cool
08:57:48<CaptSolo> -dereference e.g., a gearbox
08:57:58<CaptSolo> - see all that references it
08:58:14<CaptSolo>but that is not enough for the after-sale documentation
08:58:26<ghard>This one has no id3tag on it... hmmh...
08:58:30<CaptSolo>> Current limitations of linked data principles
08:58:30<kidehen>Cloud_: you could click through this PPT while the song plays: http://community.linkeddata.org/DAV/home/kidehen2/Public/DataPortability_and_DataSpaces.ppt
08:58:52<ghard>The Band is called trplX feat. The Entailments
08:58:58<CaptSolo> - attached to each documents there is "applicability"
08:59:18<CaptSolo> -- a boolean formula with characteristics of a car that defines what cars this documents is relevant to
08:59:37<CaptSolo> - a form is needed
08:59:39<kidehen>Cloud_: I am still in important LOD workshop sessions
08:59:57<CaptSolo>forms are important feature of the web. also needed for the web of data
09:01:04<Cloud_>kidehen: NP - I pasted URLs on the chat channel, but no answer
09:01:07<CaptSolo>Conclusion
09:01:20<kidehen>Cloud_: huh?
09:01:31<CaptSolo> - the question of about of data to return when fetching data about a NIR
09:01:46<CaptSolo>(or rather - how much data to display)
09:01:56<CaptSolo>q- what did users think of this
09:02:04<CaptSolo>a- it is not in production yet
09:02:15<CaptSolo>but will be as soon as tech docs will be published this way
09:02:25<CaptSolo>who's asking?
09:03:38<CaptSolo>it is starting really slowly
09:03:59<CaptSolo>q- 10 years old story - when nobody agreed to introduce wikis in corporate environment.
09:04:14<CaptSolo>now we have wikipedia and corporations are happy to use wikis inside
09:04:32<CaptSolo>do you think there will be a 10 year gap to introduce SemWeb in enterprises too?
09:04:34<Cloud_>kidehen: No they won't do the talk without you here
09:04:58<kidehen>Cloud_: is anyone there? Paolo is also here at the LOD session
09:05:09<CaptSolo>a- maybe i will have external help because EU made a directive that you have to provide technical documentation to the public
09:05:16<Cloud_>yes the other three have spoken
09:05:20<Cloud_>on the last one now...
09:05:25<CaptSolo>and specifically says you should use RDF
09:05:27<kidehen>Cloud_: I could pop over, but are they waiting?
09:05:35<CaptSolo>maybe with such help it will happen sooner
09:05:49<CaptSolo>hope it will start in the years coming
09:06:00<kidehen>Cloud_: it will take me about 3 mins to get there :-)
09:06:03<CaptSolo>can someone point to info re. that directive ?

09:06:27<CaptSolo> Meaning Of A Tag: A collaborative approach to bridge the gap between tagging and Linked Data

09:06:56<Cloud_>kidehen: no it's over now, no worries
09:06:59<CaptSolo>talk by terraces aka Alexandre Passant
09:07:03<kidehen>Cloud_: k
09:07:17<CaptSolo> - heterogeneity
09:07:22<CaptSolo> - lack of organisation
09:07:52<CaptSolo>Adam Mathes 2004 quote re. folksonomy (as both best and worst in info organization)
09:08:03<CaptSolo>> tags lack semantics
09:08:19<CaptSolo> - computers do not know what users had in mind when tagging
09:08:56<CaptSolo>related work - SCOT, Tag ontology
09:09:08<CaptSolo>but what about the _meaning_ of tags?
09:09:29<CaptSolo>that's what MOAT is about
09:09:51<CaptSolo>http://moat-project.org/
09:10:08<CaptSolo>moat
09:10:41<CaptSolo> - an ontology to provide global and local meaning of a tag in a machine-readable form
09:11:22<CaptSolo>defining meanings
09:11:39<CaptSolo> - using URIs of existing resources from the LOD dataset
09:11:50<CaptSolo>MOAT models tags and meanings
09:12:14<CaptSolo>extends the Tag ontology, currently working on mapping it to SCOT
09:12:55<CaptSolo>global meaning relies on FOAF for the user aspect
09:13:10<CaptSolo> - there should be at least one Person who has asserted / defined this meaning of the tag
09:13:25<CaptSolo>MOAT ontology diagram
09:14:14<CaptSolo>an RDF data example
09:14:31<CaptSolo>creating linked data from tagging
09:15:11<CaptSolo> - it is a collaborative and decentralized approach
09:15:33<CaptSolo> - a client-server approach
09:15:51<CaptSolo> -- people subscribe to a MOAT server and install a client or tagging software
09:16:15<CaptSolo> - - when people create tagged content, client queries the server for tag meanings
09:16:55<CaptSolo>architecture diagram: http://moat-project.org/architecture
09:17:13<CaptSolo>REST-ful interface
09:17:42<CaptSolo> - content negotiation and also URIs for direct access to RDF and JSON output
09:18:10<CaptSolo>update tag descriptions by sending RDF file with TagMeaning instance(s) to the server
09:18:22<CaptSolo>> technical info
09:18:45<CaptSolo> - server - PHP5, with plugged in RDF stores
09:19:17<CaptSolo> - clients - Drupal featurng Sindice interaction (helps users find new URIs), OpenLink Virtuoso
09:19:25<CaptSolo>open source
09:19:40<kidehen>CaptSolo: he should have said: OpenLink Data Spaces :-)
09:19:59<kidehen>CaptSolo: It's integrated into SIOC, SCOT, and SKOS within ODS
09:20:12<CaptSolo>kidehen: :)
09:20:33<CaptSolo>new ways to interlink RDF
09:20:47<CaptSolo> - by linking tagged contect to URIs provides new ways to connect this content
09:20:56<CaptSolo> - helps SIOC to enter the Linked Data Web
09:21:28<kidehen>CaptSolo: It brings Web 2.0 Tags into the Linked Data Web via SIOC :-)
09:21:45<CaptSolo>can use sioc:topic to liink Item to a URI directly, w/o proxy of a Tagging object
09:22:15<CaptSolo>kidehen: indeed. nice work.
09:22:45<CaptSolo>q- i guess you could grab the whole wikipedia and model the disambiguation
09:22:59<CaptSolo>a- have not worked on automatic disambiguation
09:23:17<CaptSolo>but could havea MOAT-server to suggest disambiguation for Wikipedia keywords
09:23:32<mmmmmrob>photos of the day: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mmmmmrob/tags/ldow2008/
09:23:54<mmmmmrob>please tag with nicks, foaf URIs and real names
09:24:03<CaptSolo>kidehen: could you summarise your comment/question?
09:24:10<CaptSolo>a part of it was aquestion if there is a live demo
09:24:20<CaptSolo>---
09:24:24<CaptSolo>final talk:
09:24:42<kidehen>CaptSolo: all the loose and sloppy tags get enhanced

09:25:04<CaptSolo>An Entity Name System for Linking Semantic Web Data
09:25:18<kidehen>CaptSolo: no Semweb vs folksonomy wars, they continue to do the ad hoc tagging and systems like ODS will bind the Tags to URIs
09:25:20<CaptSolo>by Paolo Bouquet, Heiko Stoermer, Daniele Cordioli and Giovanni Tummarello
09:25:27<CaptSolo>Paolo is presenting
09:25:43<CaptSolo>> ordinary day on the web
09:26:37<CaptSolo>example, references o Beijing are "hiddn" behind different names, uris, ...
09:27:16<CaptSolo>we can not do simple integration of RDF via simple graph merging
09:27:30<CaptSolo>reasoning required mapping in advance
09:27:48<CaptSolo>can't do linking multimedia (and web2.0) content to RDF content
09:28:06<CaptSolo>(well - you can - with SIOC and SIOC Types)
09:28:25<CaptSolo>getting best from busin. intelligence / web mining apps.
09:28:26<kidehen>CaptSolo: Remember the problem with DBpedia and "Welsh" ?
09:28:37<CaptSolo>multimedia search
09:28:47<CaptSolo>kidehen: what is the relevance?
09:28:51<kidehen>CaptSolo: UMBEL answer: http://umbel.zitgist.com/explorer.php?concept=EthnicGroupOfWelsh
09:28:55<CaptSolo>> what we can do?
09:29:11<kidehen>CaptSolo: goes back to session by Southamption Univ. re. abuse of owl:sameAs
09:29:13<CaptSolo>OKKAM project aims at developing an Entity Name System for the [Semantic] Web
09:29:22<CaptSolo>EU-funded project
09:30:34<CaptSolo>> how does this work
09:30:47<CaptSolo>global distributed sotrage of billions of URIs
09:31:03<CaptSolo>entity matching for finding entity's URIs
09:31:18<CaptSolo>global and decentralised system
09:31:29<CaptSolo> - a lot of public "OKKAM" nodes
09:31:45<CaptSolo> - local "corporate" nodes for non-public data
09:32:30<CaptSolo>> ERS (entity representation schema
09:32:53<CaptSolo> - repository stores existing URIs + a representation of the corresponding real world entity
09:33:15<CaptSolo>is meant only for maximising the change of getting matching right
09:33:22<CaptSolo>(like a phone directory)
09:33:44<CaptSolo>min. 4 elements in OKKAM representation ofan entity
09:33:58<CaptSolo>> ERS: entity profiles
09:34:05<CaptSolo>main elements:
09:34:18<CaptSolo> - a semantic type (only a small number of high lvl categories)
09:34:25<CaptSolo> - collection of name/value pairs
09:34:41<CaptSolo> - collection of typed links to external resources which refer to that entity
09:35:19<CaptSolo>ERS: entity metadata
09:35:35<CaptSolo> - general, statistics, provenance, access contorl metadata
09:35:43<CaptSolo>"access contorl - it is a big mess"
09:35:52<CaptSolo>ERS: alternative URIs
09:36:06<CaptSolo> - collection of alternative URIs for the same real world entity
09:36:15<CaptSolo> - one can be marked as preferred
09:36:31<CaptSolo>and can always be returned instead of internal ENS URI
09:36:45<CaptSolo>dereferencing alternative URIs can provide additional data to help matching
09:36:54<CaptSolo>= Entity matching =
09:37:00<mmmmmrob>so, it seems we need to make clearer the difference between a necessary and an unnecessary URI alias?
09:37:03<CaptSolo>related to well-known problems
09:37:08<CaptSolo>basic use case
09:37:28<CaptSolo> - build a query based on key/attribute pairs
09:37:43<CaptSolo>ranked list is returned
09:37:56<CaptSolo>(based on similarity measures and stats on social use of the ENS)
09:38:15<CaptSolo>= ENS -enabled tools =
09:38:28<CaptSolo>content tools extended to interact with ENS
09:38:43<CaptSolo>tools you use should be able to interact with ENS
09:38:48<CaptSolo>prototypes:
09:38:51<CaptSolo> - FOAF-a-matic
09:38:55<CaptSolo> - ...
09:39:05<CaptSolo> = ENS and Linked Data =
09:40:21<CaptSolo>linked data a fantastic source of name/value pairs for building entity profiles in the ENS
09:40:41<CaptSolo>ENS can be used by Linked Data tools
09:40:44<CaptSolo>extension to non-RDF content
09:42:15<CaptSolo>ENS based on the idea that, in general, having multiple URIs for the same thing is a bug, not a feature
09:42:34<CaptSolo>using billions of ol:sameAs will become impractical
09:43:16<CaptSolo>Linked Data methods do not support well the creation of new URIs
09:44:03<CaptSolo> - what do you do to give person a URI?
09:44:11<CaptSolo> - create a FOAF file for them?
09:44:19<CaptSolo> - what if they don't want a FOAF file?
09:44:25<CaptSolo>= conclusion =
09:44:54<CaptSolo>should aim for synergies
09:45:04<CaptSolo>of different tools/approaches
09:47:03<CaptSolo>Chris: both approaches are complimentary
09:47:20<CaptSolo>when expressing different opinions about different things people may want to use different URIs
09:48:03<CaptSolo>last slide: an extraordinary day on the Web
09:48:22<CaptSolo>with all the things given www.okkam.org/entity/GUID type URIs
09:49:10<CaptSolo>can someone scribe the discussion?
09:49:27<CaptSolo> - and summarise the discussion that was right now.
09:49:33<CaptSolo>might have missed some details
09:50:13<tuukkah>is the document linked to by that uri supposed to have some content?
09:51:13<CaptSolo>dunno
09:51:21<CaptSolo>will be interesting to see ho this develops
09:51:39<mmmmmrob>tuukkah: nope, you;d have to replace "GUID" with a real guid
09:51:49<CaptSolo>esp. interesting that this is worked on as an EU-project (so someone understands the importance of such a project)
09:52:25<tuukkah>mmmmmrob, oh it was a template. but it gave 200 OK =)
09:53:03<CaptSolo> - http://www.okkam.org/entity/ok78dfda18-2c96-45a5-a7e5-9093ed919424
09:53:24<CaptSolo>but quite possibly it does not return anything yet as this is work in progress
09:53:45<CaptSolo>tuukkah: Giovanni is a part of this project, can inquire him for details
09:54:08<tuukkah>that does return some data for Beijing :-)
09:54:48<CaptSolo>q- why do you need anything more than a URI?
09:55:47<CaptSolo>"i am saying its a phonebook where all names look the same. and if i want to find what the name is we look up the URI / call the telephone number"
09:57:24<CaptSolo>question / discussion was by Mike Harris
09:58:25<CaptSolo>re. phone book - that is what the linked data i about
09:58:38<CaptSolo>you do not want to mirror / collect all the data
09:59:04<CaptSolo>q- (AlexP) thinking of using a top-level ontology?
09:59:09<CaptSolo>are in talks with Cyc
10:00:10<kidehen>Captsolo: He needs UMBEL http://umbel.zitgist.com/ or http://umbel.zitgist.com/find_label.php
10:01:29<mmmmmrob>CaptSolo is looking for someone to take over scribing
10:01:37<mmmmmrob>ideally someone who can still listen
10:01:41<CaptSolo>ACTION too jet-lagged
10:01:41<mmmmmrob>any volunteers?
10:04:08<CaptSolo>Kinglsley: need replication, resilience
10:04:39<CaptSolo>yves: 3rd party service to provide sameAs links
10:05:04<CaptSolo>1st step: provide a guess and do some ranking
10:05:21<CaptSolo>2nd step: fetch a lot of data from original sources and do some reasoning
10:05:28<CaptSolo> - though concerned about efficiency
10:05:40<CaptSolo>mmmmmrob: you talked about DNS
10:05:58<CaptSolo>which provides enormous resilience and it has federated control
10:06:04<CaptSolo>via hierarchical naming
10:06:27<CaptSolo>q- you do not have hierarchy in naming, so you can not distribute lookup
10:06:47<CaptSolo>(this is a question / comment from mmmmmrob )
10:08:03<CaptSolo>Chris: the way it can / will work is decentralised publication and centralised search
10:08:59<CaptSolo>kidehen: what about the internet archive? are you talking with them?
10:10:03<CaptSolo>ACTION offline
10:15:19<ghard>Where's the URI for the bar?
10:17:37<danieljohnlewis>http://www.opendd.net/
10:17:53<danieljohnlewis>Y: "Open Data Definition" is trying to be SIOC
10:18:48<danieljohnlewis>Y: Does anyone have an opinion on this? I've blogged my initial response: http://vanirsystems.com/danielsblog/2008/04/22/open-data-definition/
10:20:15<CaptSolo>sorry that was Hugh Glaser who asked the queston, not Mike Harris
10:22:31<danieljohnlewis>ah, you're all at Beijing aren't you? Oh well, if you get a chance to look at the opendd then do... I think it will probably die because SIOC is so much more integratabe
10:24:58<ghard>danieljohnlewis: not much info on what this actually is. No idea what the language or vocabulary would be. Or have you off-band nfo on the project?
10:26:16<tuukkah>is this post all? http://groups.google.com/group/open-data-definition/browse_thread/thread/6b44a4ea587d991d
10:26:59<danieljohnlewis>ghard: The creator will be at an event I am going to this evening, so I will ask him more... but I don't think its explicitly Semantic based
10:27:18<tuukkah>xml vs. rdf, uuid vs. uri etc.
10:27:19<danieljohnlewis>ghard: He actually works for my old employers (Curverider).... which is interesting to note
10:27:21<ghard>I guess if you want to know more you'd need to look at http://www.elgg.org/ as it's been listed as adopter byt opendd.net has no spec to DL
10:28:27<tuukkah>actually, based on that post, it's more like reinventing rdf
10:29:10<ghard>Bibende necessum est. or something similar...
10:29:17<danieljohnlewis>tuukkah: you might be right
10:29:25<ghard>I'm off to the nearest beer tap.
10:29:57<danieljohnlewis>Y: more detail about odd: http://groups.google.com/group/open-data-definition/browse_thread/thread/6b44a4ea587d991d
10:32:00<tuukkah>"The UUID is a URL which must point to an ODD representation of the thing it represents." linked data \o/
10:33:48<danieljohnlewis>tuukkah: OK, I'll change "I will ask him more" to "I will interrogate him"
10:35:23<tuukkah>danieljohnlewis, i might rather suggest introducing him to linked data from his current point of view
10:35:37<kodemaniak>window list
10:35:50<danieljohnlewis>yes, certainly will
10:40:47<Cloud_>well elgg is fairly well used so that's a good adopter for opendd
10:40:50<Cloud_>ACTION looks at it
10:42:08<danja__>phenny, tell danbri http://agileapproach.com/blog-entry/calais-module-drupal-released
10:42:08<phenny>danja__: I'll pass that on when danbri is around.
10:55:16<kidehen_>phenny, tell CaptSolo: they are interested in collaborating with the Linked Data community etc..
10:55:17<phenny>kidehen_: I'll pass that on when CaptSolo is around.
14:47:24<danieljohnlewis>tuukkah, danja & ghard: I just had notification that the ODD spec has been released
14:47:37<danieljohnlewis>tis here: http://www.opendd.net/resources/ODD_SpecV1(draft).pdf
15:03:29<danja>danieljohnlewis, thanks
15:03:41<danja>ACTION has no time now to comment - slides to do
15:04:25<danja>ACTION still curious to know what an ODD representation of a person looks like
15:07:58<danja>danieljohnlewis, I don't know why they didn't just use a "profile" of rdf, like doap
16:16:58<Gravel>quit
18:12:44<bengee>oh, bblfish:
18:12:57<bengee>.g openid http authentication
18:12:58<phenny>bengee: http://openid.net/specs/openid-authentication-1_1.html
18:13:21<bengee>hmm, no, that's not the one
18:13:55<bengee>that one: http://wiki.openid.net//OpenID_HTTP_Authentication
18:15:38<bengee>it doesn't mention a "login pointer", but (if I understood that correctly) lists a set of X-OpenID-Authenticate headers to auto-login
18:17:32<bengee>i.e. you (re-)request a protected resource (which advertises openid support via WWW-Authenticate: OpenID ) and send the openid URL
18:19:59<bengee>it's OpenID 2, though, I only have libs for OpenID 1, not sure how much changed
18:26:53<bengee>ACTION finds http://wiki.openid.net/OpenIDHTTPAuth for an 1.1 proposal
18:47:54<bblfish>bengee: thanks
18:51:39<bengee>that only solves the consumer part, though
18:51:53<bengee>but there seem to be cert-enabled IdPs, too
18:52:32<bblfish>yes, someone left a note with regard to that on my last blog post
18:52:45<bblfish>here: http://blogs.sun.com/bblfish/entry/foaf_ssl_creating_a_global
18:53:32<bblfish>why does that only solce the consumer part?
18:54:27<bengee>I think the OpenID HTTP Auth proposals don't really talk about logging into the IdP
18:54:53<bengee>they assume the client is an IdP, too, I think
18:57:25<bblfish>bengee: I'll look at that more carefully
19:21:01<TedThibodeauJr>bblfish - not sure what you're working on, but #openid often has clueful people (though they're often lurking silently for hours, as here)
19:47:15<bblfish>TedThibodeauJr: well I am going to be implementing http://blogs.sun.com/bblfish/entry/foaf_ssl_creating_a_global first, as it is cleaner
19:47:56<TedThibodeauJr>*nods*
20:10:04<rmarkwhite>bblfish i didnt mean that you had to login to your IdP to use their x509 cert
20:10:23<rmarkwhite>i was the one who made the comment on your blog bblfish
20:12:00<rmarkwhite>I just meant that since openid IdP's were providing x509 certs that was one way to get a x509 cert which had a openid as CN and perhaps they could add a foaf url to thier ASN.
20:12:05<bblfish>rmarkwhite: ah ok. I think it is interesting that openid providers are giving out x509 certs. I think both openid and foaf+ssl could work well together
20:12:17<bblfish>yes
20:12:20<bblfish>understood
20:12:40<bblfish>in fact in my example you will find that I have left openid info in the foaf file
20:12:55<rmarkwhite>yes and i liked that
20:13:02<bblfish>:-)
20:13:42<rmarkwhite>but elimanated the multiple http connections needed to implament the openid rdfauth solution
20:16:05<rmarkwhite>your https solution usies much less http connections
20:16:30<bblfish>yes, and it works seamlessly with https, really
20:16:35<bblfish>so there is very little to invent
20:16:38<bblfish>:-)
20:16:44<bblfish>quite surprising really
20:17:04<bblfish>in fact we are taking over x509 with rdf
20:17:24<rmarkwhite>i have been following this discussion carefully on foafdev and in your blog and several others
20:18:09<rmarkwhite>i am wondering if the wot ontology will be expanded to handle x509 terms
20:18:24<bblfish>danbri?
20:18:39<rmarkwhite>or will you or someone else create a new ontology
20:18:45<rmarkwhite>yes his and others
20:19:01<bblfish>I was just checking if he was here
20:19:26<bblfish>Mhh yes I think it should be easy to create such an ont, for someone in the know. Probably most pieces allready exist
20:19:39<bblfish>it would be fun to have an X509 GRDDL
20:19:41<rmarkwhite>peter's ruminations also contribute to the discussions
20:20:01<bblfish>peter?
20:20:21<rmarkwhite>Tying FOAF identity with the identity semantics of OpenID - v2.7
20:20:42<rmarkwhite>he discusses you in his blog
20:20:50<bblfish>ah url?
20:20:55<rmarkwhite>not sure of his last name
20:21:10<rmarkwhite>http://yorkporc.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!5061D4609325B60!212.entry?wa=wsignin1.0
20:21:59<rmarkwhite>there is an ontology that deals with the despersed web conversations
20:22:11<bblfish>ouch that's a long blog :-)
20:22:23<rmarkwhite>i wish someone would use that to connect all of the discussions
20:23:13<rmarkwhite>i have to manually find all the links there needs to be a central place to connect all of the diverse information on this topic
20:24:41<TedThibodeauJr>TalkDigger was an attempt at that...
20:24:54<rmarkwhite>i happen to like the pgp version of rdfauth but recognize that it is unlikely as most people do not use pgp/gpg
20:25:12<rmarkwhite>pgp ties several of the issues together
20:25:20<TedThibodeauJr>all this silly "let's reinvent NNTP, but with no centralized structure!" blogosphere. hmph.
20:26:15<rmarkwhite>no i recongize the sillyness but have to read serveral lists, more blogs and irc logs to get alot of the infromation
20:26:42<rmarkwhite>i need to stay informed about this area
20:27:42<TedThibodeauJr>I'm in the same boat
20:27:44<rmarkwhite>now back to the pgp rdfauth solution pgp ties the foaf knows and the wot auth together
20:28:24<bblfish>I think that can be done with X509 just as well
20:28:29<bblfish>both are certificates
20:28:41<bblfish>they can be both GRDDLed into RDF
20:28:44<rmarkwhite>unfortunatly pgp is difficult to get people to use
20:29:06<bblfish>really what you need is public key /private key
20:29:20<rmarkwhite>i have used pgp since 97 but most of the people i would like to use it with will not use it
20:29:22<bblfish>and a link from you foaf id ot your public key, or its sig
20:29:51<rmarkwhite>yes in peters blog he discusses the wot athenation
20:29:55<bblfish>yes, I think it would be interesting to explore how much signing parties slowed down the adoption of pgp
20:30:29<bblfish>with rdf it could be much easier as you can link to people's files
20:30:39<bblfish>I mean to their public keys
20:30:43<rmarkwhite>i have use the wot ontology in my foaf to add my pgp key information
20:31:06<bblfish>so the web of trust in PGP is a great idea
20:31:20<bblfish>but with foaf we can get a web of trust that is easier to put together
20:31:27<rmarkwhite>and would be as good as foaf:knows to find our friends
20:32:10<rmarkwhite>i agree with that as i said most of my friends do not use pgp but i have added them to my foaf knows list
20:32:54<rmarkwhite>maybe someday the rdfauth can use multiple methods to find our "friends"
20:33:14<rmarkwhite>foaf and pgp
20:34:30<rmarkwhite>have you seen the secured distributed social network idea
20:34:45<bblfish>no
20:35:24<rmarkwhite>i will send you the link
20:35:29<rmarkwhite>brb
20:35:32<bblfish>thanks.
20:36:55<rmarkwhite>http://www.cs.queensu.ca/~thurston/fif/
20:37:10<rmarkwhite>this has potental also
20:37:29<rmarkwhite>but getting everyone on board would be a problem
20:37:53<rmarkwhite>not everyone could host thier own identity
20:38:45<rmarkwhite>the fif idea elimates the need for the rdfauth
20:41:47<rmarkwhite>the fif idea is similar to indentoo but more secure
20:41:51<bblfish>rmarkwhite: thanks for the pointer. I'll have a look at it.
20:42:10<rmarkwhite>nice talking to you
20:42:25<rmarkwhite>i have enjoyed reading about your efforts for quite awhile now
20:42:29<bblfish>I'll be spending the next few days testing SSL+FOAF
20:42:39<bblfish>And will blog about the code when it is ready
20:42:41<rmarkwhite>keep up great work
20:42:47<bblfish>should be there in a few days...
20:42:54<bblfish>l8r
20:42:55<rmarkwhite>great thanks again for all you do
20:44:23<rmarkwhite>bblfish one last question
20:44:33<rmarkwhite>for you please sir
20:44:40<bblfish>ok
20:44:51<rmarkwhite>what do you think of the xoperator on xmpp
20:45:08<rmarkwhite>this also has a potental for doing what you are looking at
20:45:25<bblfish>xmpp is peer to peer
20:45:32<bblfish>so it is one level more complex
20:45:44<bblfish>I want to see how far I can get with REST and RDF
20:45:44<rmarkwhite>well have you looked at xoperator
20:46:02<bblfish>no not yet. Link?
20:46:09<bblfish>There are so many things out there to look at.
20:46:13<rmarkwhite>this sets up a agent that can search your foaf over xmpp
20:46:29<bblfish>ah, danbri might have shown bme that
20:47:50<rmarkwhite>http://blog.dbtune.org/post/2008/02/25/Playing-with-SPARQL-and-XMPP
20:47:59<rmarkwhite>yes i think he is looking at that
20:48:59<rmarkwhite>ok i have bothered you enough today thanks again for your time sir I look forward to watching your efforts in the future
20:52:12<bblfish>no problems
20:52:29<bblfish>btw, it's all open source so you can all particiapte
20:52:33<bblfish>:-)
20:53:03<rmarkwhite>i would do more if i could i am but a follower not a leader in these areas
20:53:15<rmarkwhite>alas i am not a programer
20:53:37<rmarkwhite>of any sort i am a counselor
20:53:41<bblfish>everyone can particiapte
20:53:51<bblfish>blogging is also participating
20:54:13<rmarkwhite>i work hard at trying out he need stuff i am an early adopter
20:54:52<rmarkwhite>i am just a wantabe IT guy lol
20:55:06<rmarkwhite>my expertise lies in other areas
20:56:18<bblfish>:-) ok got to go
