Other ideas on notes, RDF and microcontent...

in Semantic Web

Another post to explain some ideas and a desire for a tool that worked with notes and RDF…

[ after episode one ]

Let me cite a nice sentence in the Scholar Google home page:

Stand on the shoulders of giants

Let’s start now with a brainstorming list of the topics of this post:

microcontent rdf notes relations aggregation recombination ideas rss tags folksonomies sparql mindmap

Starting with the end of the last post…

The last post ends with a very interesting citation from Danny Ayers idea…

I am totally agree with him: but for now i want to concentrate me with the note taking everyday task…

What i mean?

I mean that with the software available there isn’t a way to collect notes graphically fast and simple and scalable as drawing mind maps or sort of in a paper with a pen…
And a way to save the implicit semantic of these notes and these schemas…
Some efforts with mind maps in Java, but nothing using RDF model as base…

I’m thinking also as someone else has noticed [ thanks Alberto ] that we can work with a form of Microcontent in everyday task, a sort of bottom up way to organize ideas and concepts…

We can think about something that helps us in these tasks?

PlanetRDF : some ideas about...

in Semantic Web

For the people that has an interest in the RDF world, this web portal IS the main focus point, as it aggregates from different blogger the stuff around RDF world…
-> Planet RDF

It is based on RDF tools, of course and naturally…

But i don’t know why in these months it is not improved… [ lack of time is implicit ]

In fact as one of the main resources about RDF, it also can be used as the main proof of the advantages of RDF tecnology.
It’s a good start to make a little “marketing“ stuff about the triples world…

I have some ideas to improve the portal, and listen to me: just ideas, this is only some stuff and not a critic at all.. just an argument cue…

  • the portal is based on Redland toolkit, so it can use SPARQL support to the database of the all post aggregated from the beginning….
  • some useful ways of categorize posts from authors and posting time
  • a sort of Longwell data browsing of the posts
  • a Fresnel prototype viewer of the data, using Horus prototype maybe
  • … any other ideas?

In other words using the portal as informative and main “marketing“ point of the power of RDF tecnologies…

A point of aggregation not only of posts, but also of RDF uses…

Can be an idea?

The better way to improve the adoption of a technology is to show how it helps in a realworld scenario, isn’t it true?

Of course, all IMHO and from the user point of view… that begins to use the tecnology itself…

Attivista Open Data prima, studioso di Civic Hacking e dell’importanza del ruolo delle comunità in seguito, vengo dalle scienze dell’informazione, dove ho scoperto il Software libero e l’Open Source, il Semantic Web e la filosofia che guida lo sviluppo degli standard del World Wide Web e ne sono rimasto affascinato.
Il lavoro (dal 2018 in poi) mi ha portato ad occuparmi di Legal Tech, di Cyber Security e di Compliance, ambiti fortemente connessi l’uno all’altro e decisamente sfidanti.
