Slashgeo | LinkedGeoData.org - Adding a Spatial Dimension to the Web of Data - 1 views

  • We mentioned the LinkedGeoData.org project during summer 2009, and LinkedGeoData has just been released as open source on Google Code (via OGD). The project's synopsis: "In order to employ the Web as a medium for data and information integration, comprehensive datasets and vocabularies are required as they enable the disambiguation and alignment of other data and information. Many real-life information integration and aggregation tasks are impossible without comprehensive background knowledge related to spatial features of the ways, structures and landscapes surrounding us. LinkedGeoData uses the comprehensive OpenStreetMap spatial data collection to create a large spatial knowledge base. It currently consists of information about approx. 350 million nodes and 30 million ways and the resulting RDF data comprises approximately 2 billion triples. The data is available according to the Linked Data principles and interlinked with DBpedia."

YouTube - Microsoft Pivot & Virtuoso RDF Quad Store Demo - 5 views

  • This demonstration shows how Microsoft Pivot (an E-A-V Model Linked Data Browser) acts as a client to a Virtuoso RDF Quad Store Instance. The Client and the Server are E-A-V model based, but instead of serving up N3, Turtle, RDF/XML or any other RDF-Graph model data representation, it delivers CXML (a Microsoft devised XML representation for EAV based Linked Data graphs).

    So Google and Microsoft are moving to 'faceted search' and fast! Really powerful and compelling!

    Right. Freebase also announced something similar to Pivot yesterday (David Huynh, http://blog.freebase.com/2010/03/26/preview-freebase-gridworks/) and Kingsley Idehen mentioned that he is doing interesting things with Pivot. I think this is why T2 failed: too much competition both from the core linked data community and from the big guys, not much originality. I found the Pivot and Gridworks demos much more impressive than the T2 demos. Nova's excitement about faceted browsing was probably right, but he didn't play the role of the "visionary that sees farther than everyone else" as well as he should have. I still don't understand why he didn't exploit the social bookmarking advantage he had over Google, Microsoft, Freebase and Openlink.
