“ we discussed the difficulties of explaining it, as it is easy for people who are hooked on the new technology to forget that it is a new mindset which others don’t necessarily have. But an ever-increasing number do.

“ By rendering data into RDF, it can be more easily interposed with other sets of data to create entirely new datasets and visualizations, Ding said. He showed a Google Map-based graphic that interposed RDF-versions of two different data sources from the Environmental Protection Agency, originally rendered in CSV files.

“ During the question and answer period, an audience member asked why exposing the application programming interface isn’t sufficient for exposing data, a technique used by Data.gov. Berners-Lee pointed out that to use an API, a system administrator or developer must write some sort of program to get at the data. With RDF, the data should be able to be reused directly within the browser itself, involving no additional work on the part of the user.

“ But while there’s a lot of information included, it’s not everything that Google knows about you — e.g., data in cookies, click throughs data from search results and information from companies it’s acquired, like Doubleclick. Still, it is a big step in a positive direction.

“ For more than 150 years, The New York Times has meticulously indexed its archives. Through this process, we have developed an enormous collection of subject headings, ranging from “Absinthe”[1] to “Zoos”[2]. Unfortunately, our list of subject headings is an island. For example, even though we can show you every article written about “Colbert, Stephen [3],” our databases can’t tell you that he was born on May 13, 1964, or that he lost the 2008 Grammy for best spoken word album to Al Gore. To do this we would need to map our subject headings onto other Web databases such as Freebase and DBPedia. So that’s exactly what we did. Over the last several months we have manually mapped more than 5,000 person name subject headings onto Freebase and DBPedia. And today we are pleased to announce the launch of http://data.nytimes.com and the release of these 5,000 person name subject headings as Linked Open Data.

“ Robert Jhonson aveva detto poco prima che i veri leader sono dei folli, perchè non stanno alle regole, ma creano un mondo diverso e non macinano acqua. Sono dei ribelli che non si adeguano allo status quo.
I manager hanno applaudito questa affermazione di Jhonson; poi si sono alzati e sono stati rapiti dal luccichio delle paiette sulle forme delle soubrette e dalle promesse del facile guadagno con i primi posti su Google.
Gazze ladre, irresistibilmente attratte dall’inutile. Alla fine la spiegazione dell’onda anomala, dei social media, del buzz marketing, delle strategie di comunicazione e della forza del web 2.0 ai manager presenti sembrava la vera truffa. Liquid Diamond - La mattanza dei marketing managers

“ Extended RDFa support. In addition to the Person RDFa format, we have added support for the corresponding fields from the FOAF and vCard vocabularies for all those of you who asked for it.

“ We will have all kinds of lists of people, groups of people, and in many cases we’ll know their OpenIDs. So why not pool what we know? If a blog or wiki has information about an OpenID that shows it is somehow trustworthy, or at least not obviously a spammer, there’s every reason to make notations (eg. FOAF/RDFa) that allow other such sites to harvest and integrate that data…
