Term Fields rejected for SCF

While we prefer to use existing modules rather than create custom ones whenever possible, the specific needs for storing additional Gene Ontology data with Drupal (multiple kinds of relationships between terms) and the functionality of Term Fields module did not match up.

Presenting Drupal and Semantic Web

from video. Presentation by Boris Mann.

Drupal 7 will be the most widely deployed Semantically enabled platform.

Not technically true, but practically speaking, this is the way we can use it.

Blog = Better Listings On Google
CMS = Content Made Semantic

I firmly believe the Semantic Land Rush will happen (heh, i made my gold rush slide a week before– we're thinking the same).

MOAT: Meaning Of A Tag

not a complete RDF graph because we are pruning some information
first level, claims (C)

Q: Is there one table per module? No.

Can you export the mapping?

Exporting of the RDF

We also have the beginning of RDFa output for the properties, injected in the HTML.

Drupal is known for running on cheap hosting, you couldn't run on a Java RDF store. But it might be coming

I already used ARC when I export the RDF.

What about disconnected data sets?

Conference on Semantics in Health and Life Sciences report-back at Cambridge Semantic Web Meetup

Presented to us by Eric Neumann, Clinical Semantics Group

C-SHALS, this smaller conference, pre-competitive, more interesting public discussion than some other major industry events. Two day event.

Sponsored by pharmaceutical industry.

Gets very exciting, a lot of energy, semantic web but different emphasis.
FriendFeed microblogging. Only downside is understanding it manually, if someone would write a converter to triples...

Allowed vendors to do lightning talks, but not a full 20 minutes.

DrupalConDC Drupal Association session

[This is a blog not a note on Agaric because it contains my opinion and not the elusive collective opinion... not that any of my notes have that either]

Question about why the Drupal trademark is not transferred to the Drupal association.

Dries replied:

The Drupal Association could decide tomorrow to throw me out.

If it comes to a split...

Frankly the other party should pick a new name. But there is an agreement between [the Drupal association and Dries for use of the name for the purpose of protecting it.]

Very hard thing: Getting a roomful of Drupal developers to not try to solve problems.

WOOHOO!

I feel bad I didn't make that patch. I meant to! I've fixed this with form_alter before.

By default the admin menu no longer shows up there.

Scor's presentation:

Just installing RDF CCK, you get all this for free.

It prefaces every field with site:

It's your own local vocabulary.

you can see the entire site schema vocabulary at /ns#

The source

RDF and RDF/XML are two different things.
