Dear all -

SIOC as a topic area.

We should organise some proposal submissions from the SIOC community
before the 10th December 2007 deadline, and if you want any advice, let
me know.

" The gnizr design is heavily influenced by Web 2.0 and the Semantic
Web. It features a del.icio.us-like user interface for tagging and
bookmarking. Users can create tag relations using SKOS vocabularies
(broader, narrower, and related) and export their saved bookmarks in
RDF (in SIOC and Tag Ontology). Saved bookmarks can be viewed in
different mashup API (Google Maps, MIT SIMILE Timeline and Aduna
Clustermap). "

This can be interesting to the SIOC community too as its slides
mention "Standardized message format based on RDF" as one of the
things that are planned to do next.

[1] is a webpage containing ideas about combining Drupal and Semantic
Web. An excerpt follows. Perhaps this is something the SIOC community
is interested to take part in.

" What Drupal already offers:
Relationship - need to contact dman and see if he plan to work
more on this topic. If that's the case, we need to join forces.
FOAF - not up to date (4.6), walkah plans to work on it in the next months
SIOC - not up to date (4.7)
Semantic Search - alpha in Drupal 5 - would be nice to have 1.0
release for Drupal 5/6/7 . 4 should not be supported since it doesn't
support PHP5 (maybe I'm wrong?) (- hendler) Everything Drupal needs is

Hi,

Benjamin Nowack has been working the new version of ARC, a RDF store and SPARQL engine in PHP.
Currently in preview release, ARC2 uses
SPARQL+ to load, insert and delete data.
See the documentation for more details.

regards,
Stéphane.

Potluck: Semi-Ontology Alignment for Casual Users:
http://www.cs.vu.nl/~pmika/swc-2007/Potluck.pdf

"Potluck is a web user interface that lets casual users--those without
programming skills and data modeling expertise--merge and repurpose
heterogeneous Semantic Web data. It lets users merge, navigate,
visualize, and clean up data all at the same time, using direct visual
manipulation.
This iterative process of integrating the data while constructing
useful
visualizations is desirable when the user is unfamiliar with the data
