Re: technical web standards for eGov

Yes, actually you don't have to aim.  The D2R Server runs in a browser on your local machine, at the "local" domain.  All of the files are in the right place.  Since you can also do an RDF dump, you have everything you need to run Callimachus - which is what runs the W3C GLD Community Directory http://dir.w3.org/  So, the D2R Server is just another route to Government Linked Data.  My tool is intended to address the "domain" problem.  If the domain covers too wide an area you cannot deliver science (Brand knows a lot about this) and maintain service levels across the domain.  If the sewer system in NYC is stressed it makes no difference if the sewer system in Los Angeles has extra capacity.  Sewer system relationships do not change when linked.  You can get a visualization of what "stressed" means, but linked data does not solve the problems it may uncover.

I'll try and post some tutorials tomorrow.

Thank you Gannon and Brand


hadnt understood  I need to download d2r from github to make sense of
the ttl file

ok-  but can D2R functionalities not be served as a web service?
(thats what i'd aim for)

Please consider writing some tutorials and how tos
for people to get on the same page on you with this data, and let me
know if I can help with foolproofing and promoting any outcomes.
Or even better, send some diagrams!!

I ll have a go though (feeling inadequate)

Cheers

You don't need to do any further development of the framework.
