    <John> Not at the office - looking up thedial in number

SW, LOD and OGD

    [on LOD, OGD, examples, strategies]

    [one key point: coming from third parties, why?]

    <josema> [6]http://www.rdfabout.com/ -- those are the ones by Josh
    Tauberer

       [6] http://www.rdfabout.com/

    [eGov IG to emphasize in the doc why it's good for agencies to take
    on this but there are issues, hence FAQ entry and issues section in
    the doc]

    [on LOD and OGD and FAQ #9:
    [7]http://www.w3.org/2007/eGov/IG/faq#q9]

       [7] http://www.w3.org/2007/eGov/IG/faq#q9

    [from screen scraping to XML to SW, need of strategies for agencies
    to evolve]

    [RDFa as bridging technology and easy way to start]

    [need of expertise, no need to have everybody building triple stores
    in an agency, just someone building that]

    <josema> SW in Europeana:
    [8]http://www.europeana.eu/portal/thought-lab.html
    and their data cloud:
    [9]http://eculture.cs.vu.nl/europeana/www/datacloud.html

       [8] http://www.europeana.eu/portal/thought-lab.html
       [9] http://eculture.cs.vu.nl/europeana/www/datacloud.html

    [john on the possibility to bridge different stores (XML _and_ SW
    ones) with something like SPARQL so you can have best of both
    worlds]

    [most of the time you'll need both]

    [legislation can be a good example on why RDF alone is not enough
    since one needs all the processing power of XML]

Note Editing

    [jose on jigedit instructions, _very_ easy "load document, edit,
    save, done"]
