Sto facendo un po’ di prove su un tool da poco rilasciato open, che mi sta sorprendendo molto…
-> Aduna Autofocus

In realta’ sto cercando di capirne le potenzialita’, e nella versione server la caratteristica innovativa:
i metadata poi creati sono in **RDF, all’interno di Sesame..
**
Cosa significa: significa che sono in un formato aperto, espandibile, e sotto il nostro controllo.
Oltre che, volendo, poter poi visionare i dati RDF con un front-end ad hoc personalizzato.

Non mi pare poco.

E questa e’ la direzione, spiegata molto bene e con ampia veduta d’insieme:
-> Aperture to the Semantic Desktop

Some thoughts about the last developments in Gnome desktop enviroment…
Based on this post ( _written in italian _)…

Using Ubuntu Dapper with AIGLX support, in combination with Beagle, Google Web service, Evolution and Liferea for RSS support… it’s a very cool and usable place to work… ( this is my notebook, Benq S53 white )

Thinking of the innovation and the productity of a tool like Devon Think, its capability to show and “records” data and how it is similar to the RDF world…potential ASAIK…
I think i’m looking for… A bit more…

Let me explain: a lot of good ideas from this cool blog, about the new way of visualizing data, graphs everywhere but not only…
And with the support of others ways of navigations in the information sea…

I’m frustrating with the not enough time problem: a request for LazyWeb…

Liferea reads and saves RSS and RDF or ATOM data: but in a way that it’s not simple to export…

**Why not have a simple RDF engine that captures all that data, with a simple setup and a simple way to offers data for others RDF capable applications?
**

Looking into the SIMILE project in these days, i am surprised by the good work they are making:

Thinking of Beagle++ : a very cool idea for the semantic data…

As the original Beagle, our improved Beagle++ crawls your desktop (only the directories you want it to) and indexes the content of all known files such as Office documents, Emails, images, music and video files, source code, etc. Unlike Beagle, our version also extracts metadata and it restores the semantic relations among documents and entities on your desktop. E.g. when a keyword search returns a file that you originally stored from an attachment of an Email, the search application will tell you so.
Then you can obtain further information of the context in which you recevied that file.

Relations and links between entities in our everyday life: understanding the semantic implicit data in the way WE make associations between files and data and saving them…

The directions are very interesting…

As someone told in PlanetRDF:

Semantic Web based research isn’t working

Totally agree with: the semantic landscape is changing and it’s a matter of time, and the everyday desktop usage will be totally DATA based… finally…
Applications and others desktop metaphors are old enough…
**
Linking ( as data hyperlinking ) implicit and explicit are a new keys for manage and navigating into our data…**

Google docet….

-> Frederick Giasson: I had a dream for the Semantic Web

Talk Digger is a web application developed by Frédérick Giasson that helps users to find, follow and join conversations evolving on the Internet.

Talk Digger greatly evolved in 2006. I started being a comparative search engine using the link-back feature of many search engines. Then it evolved in a full-scale meta-search engine reporting web sites linking to another web site. Then it evolved in a search engine of its own: a “conversation search engine“ with feature helping the creation of communities around each conversation.

Talk Digger is also entering in the age of the Semantic Web. All its content is accessible trough ontologies like SIOC, FOAF, DC, GOE, etc. It give the possibility to developers to create software agent that can easily understand Talk Digger’s data and create other services above it.

So, what is the future of Talk Digger? I hope it will be the Semantic Web.

I develop it as a research project and prototype platform where I can implement and test my ideas. I also develop it hoping it is helpful to some Internet users. It is not impossible that the project eventually evolve into an enterprise but right now it is not a priority.

Questo progetto sta assumendo caratteri unici, da vedere…
-> Ping the semantic Web

Prossimamente magari, una spiegazione approfondita…

E una possibile integrazione nel blog…
