OpenId is getting a lot of coverage. I have worked out a simple way
it relates to the Semantic Web.

I had a conversation with Kingsley Idehen on #swig today [1], which
reveals the following interesting problem.

There are many foaf files out there. Some of them will be editable
via webdav or atom app. There is currently no way for a client such
as Beatnik [2], to know when reading a file whether or not this is an
editable file, and how it can be edited. It does not make sense to
try to PUT for every foaf file one encounters. Neither is this
problem going to be limited to foaf btw. But this is a good case.

So what seems to be needed in a foaf file is a :edit link relation to

Hi All,

Alex Faaborg has written a series of articles (see [1]) about plans
for detecting and using semantic metadata in the upcoming Firefox 3.0.

Very interesting articles and they are relevant to the world of
Semantic Web and to the Semantic Radar extension [2] for Firefox.
SIOC, FOAF, DOAP, etc. are metadata formats that browser users could
put to a good use.

In fact, users need not worry where the data come from (microformats,
RDF, or something else) as long as that information is reliable and
useful to them. It would be good include in web browsers the
capability of detecting and using [links to] RDF data.

"Yahoo has introduced a new product called Pipes.

It seems to be a GUI-based interface for building applications that
aggregate RSS feeds and other services, creating Web-based apps from
various sources, and publishing those apps. Sounds very cool.
TechCrunch has a decent write-up, and Tim O'Reilly is all over it."

Interesting news. Pipes seem to be so popular that Yahoo can't keep
the server up. It is currently down with a message: "Our Pipes are

Hi All,

Many of you have tried the Semantic Radar [
http://sioc-project.org/firefox/ ] and are using it to detect FOAF,
DOAP and SIOC profiles in web pages. Now I would like to ask you for
some feedback to make it better.

Firstly, please send all wishes, comments or bug reports to the
SIOC-Dev mailing list. You can also record them at the SIOC ToDoList
wiki page [1], especially if there are some webpages you want to
reference to.

Secondly, please respond to this short survery on where would you like
the information about [FOAF | SIOC | DOAP] profile appear when you
press appropriate status bar icon:

Greetings,

This is my first message to the list, so to introduce myself, my name
is Alex Faaborg and I am a user experience designer at Mozilla
working on our microformats strategy for Firefox.

Today Mozilla Labs released a microformat extension for Firefox 2

Hi,

Sorry - mixed up what should be a URI for sioc:Forum. Was using the
URL of a feed but should use a URL of the blog / web page itself
instead. Fixed now, XSLT is at the same URL [1].

That brings up more questions:

1. What is a sioc:Site in this case and what should be its URI ?

In the case of WordPress SIOC export the sioc:Site gets a URL of the
blog and sioc:Forum gets a synthesized URL. But maybe it should be the
sioc:Forum instead and leave a sioc:Site w/o a URI (or invent one)?

What about sites like LiveJournal? Should a sioc:Site be
http://www.livejournal.com/ ?

Hi All,

There's a new version (v1.11) of SIOC specification online at
http://rdfs.org/sioc/spec/ .
It contains definition for sioc:WebService discussed in [1].

[1] http://groups.google.com/group/sioc-dev/browse_thread/thread/63c1000e086ed370

There are some comments in the last posts of the thread that I am
implementing now and will have those online tomorrow.

One of things to clarify is the service protocol / type / access_level
stuff. I get a feeling that we are going into too much detail in some
parts - at least when it comes to specifying read/write/delete
capabilities.
