Introducing CloudStack - 0 views

  •  
    CloudStack Manifesto Before getting into the framework specifics, it would be worthwhile to cover some of the design principles we had in mind while we were building CloudStack: CloudStack brings together the best of the web and the desktop: We strongly believe in the convergence of the desktop and the web and will continually strive to expose more services that bring out the best from both. CloudStack enables rapid application development and deployment: Out of the box, CloudStack provides a fully brand able and deployable shell application that can be used as a starting point to jumpstart application development. CloudStack also provides a scalable deployment environment for hosting your applications. CloudStack leverages existing web technologies: We built the CloudStack P2WebServer container over the J2EE compliant Jetty web server. As a result, CloudStack applications are built using standard web technologies like AJAX, HTML, JavaScript, Flash, Flex, etc. CloudStack does not reinvent the wheel: We strive to reuse as much as possible from other open source projects and standards. By creatively stringing together seemingly disparate pieces, like P2P and HTTP, it?fs amazing to create something that's really much greater than the sum of the parts. CloudStack does aim to simplify existing technologies: We will abstract and simplify existing interfaces if needed. For example, we built simpler abstractions for JXTA (P2P) and Jena (RDF Store). CloudStack encourages HTML-based interfaces: We believe that the web browser is the most portable desktop application container with HTML being the lingua franca of the web. Rather than writing a native widget interface for the local desktop application and another web-based interface for the remote view, we encourage writing a single interface that can be reused across both local and remote views. HTML based interfaces are inherently cross-platform and provide good decoupling of design from code (versus having the UI as compiled

MSOffice Finally Embraces SharePoint in 2010 - 0 views

  •  
    Review of SharePoint-Office 2010 integration.  MSOffice access and integration with SharePoint "content" has been improved and expanded.  Templates, forms and reports have been moved to the SharePoint center.  Or should i say "the many possible SharePoint centers".   There is also an interesting integration of the tagging system, with smart-tags becoming Bing enriched.  Good-bye Google.  Good-bye RDF - RDFa. excerpt:  Many enterprises buy into Microsoft's integrated vision of collaboration because they assume their products work well together. While in the case of SharePoint and Office this is technically true (more so with the 2007 versions), many of these integrations are either not used by or not visible to the average Office user. However, integrations introduced in SharePoint and Office 2010 may change this perception because they are exposed in menus and dialogs used by nearly every Office user. Perhaps supporting SharePoint Online and having SharePoint provide the basis of Office Live Workspaces is encouraging the SharePoint and Office planners to take a more user-centric perspective. In any case, here are some of the new integrations between SharePoint and Office 2010 that you should look for.

RDFa API - 0 views

  • RDFa APIAn API for extracting structured data from Web documentsW3C Working Draft 08 June 2010
  • RDFa [RDFA-CORE] enables authors to publish structured information that is both human- and machine-readable. Concepts that have traditionally been difficult for machines to detect, like people, places, events, music, movies, and recipes, are now easily marked up in Web documents. While publishing this data is vital to the growth of Linked Data, using the information to improve the collective utility of the Web for humankind is the true goal. To accomplish this goal, it must be simple for Web developers to extract and utilize structured information from a Web document. This document details such a mechanism; an RDFa Document Object Model Application Programming Interface (RDFa DOM API) that allows simple extraction and usage of structured information from a Web document.
  • This document is a detailed specification for an RDFa DOM API. The document is primarily intended for the following audiences: User Agent developers that are providing a mechanism to programatically extract RDF Triples from RDFa in a host language such as XHTML+RDFa [XHTML-RDFA], HTML+RDFa [HTML-RDFA] or SVG Tiny 1.2 [SVGTINY12], DOM tool developers that want to provide a mechanism for extracting RDFa content via programming languages such as JavaScript, Python, Ruby, or Perl, and Developers that want to understand the inner workings and design criteria for the RDFa DOM API.

Sig.ma - Live views on the Web of Data - Sindice Blog - 0 views

  • While Sig.ma is by no mean the first data aggregator for the Semantic Web, its contribution is to show that the sum is really bigger than the single parts and exciting possibilities lie in a holistic approach for automatic semistructured data discovery and consolidation. In Sig.ma, elements such as large scale semantic web indexing, logic reasoning, data aggregation heuristics, pragmatic ontology alignments and, last but not least, user interaction and refinement, all play together to provide entity descriptions which become live, embeddable data mash ups.

      Interesting experimental data aggregator for the Semantic Web. 7-minute video is well worth the watch.

  • Great news! The House just voted to pass SJR34. We will finally be able to buy the browser history of all the Congresspeople who voted to sell our data and privacy without our consent!” he wrote on the fundraising page.Another activist from Tennessee has raised more than $152,000 from more than 9,800 people.A bill on its way to President Trump’s desk would allow internet service providers (ISPs) to sell users’ data and Web browsing history. It has not taken effect, which means there is no growing history data yet to purchase.A Washington Post reporter also wrote it would be possible to buy the data “in theory, but probably not in reality.”A former enforcement bureau chief at the Federal Communications Commission told the newspaper that most internet service providers would cover up this information, under their privacy policies. If they did sell any individual's personal data in violation of those policies, a state attorney general could take the ISPs to court.
