Lazy loading data from RDF

Science Collaboration Framework (SCF) has a "node proxy" module that allows Drupal to query a SPARQL endpoint and only loads the data when someone looks for it-- at this point it creates a node.

The system isn't bad and may be a good base lacking any established best practices in Drupal for lazy loading of nodes from outside data sources.

Science Collaboration Framework repository structure

SCF may have to move to a full Drupal distribution at some point, but for now it is a profiles directory that can be put into any Drupal 6 installation (before or after install is run).

Modules

The modules directory is currently broken down into categories.

modified

If a module is customized, modifications to a module that is available elsewhere, it should be called something else. Otherwise there are namespace conflicts, one overriding the other, and potentially breaking the dependencies for it.

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).

Lots of stuff built around RDF because it's

Our goal: Manage the [scientific knowledge base]

hypothesis
contains 40 statements
including: A claim
which has:
qualifiers
supporting evidence
relationships with other statments in the knowledge base

not a complete RDF graph because we are pruning some information
first level, claims (C)
then in the outside level
H stands for hypothesis

The Golde hypothesis includes a claim which is inconsistent with another claim in the same hypothesis. This suggests something is wrong here.

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 6. I can talk about Drupal 7.

Need to convince the

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 Exportables discussion continued in a birds of a feather

Dmitri: Not all things are a multiple. Can't have more than one setting for user registration.

Updating an install profile is a huge pain.

HeyRocker's talk just finished, his solution is to have a [central] site that pushes to others.

Dmitri: We don't have a core import-export API

Does your stuff work with deployment, patterns, context and spaces? If there was one in core people would standardize on it.

All these projects are at a 40-50% overlap. "More."

Menus and block is similar

  • Page matcher (admin/* or admin/% oh well hmm)
  • Multiple ways to control access
  • D7: Just pieces of the page array

In Drupal7 the whole page is a renderable array, and the regions are just pieces of the page array. The center, content region is handled by the menu system, and the other regions are

They are so similar I will dare to say that they have duplicated code.

So let's unify them.
