LDOW2009 Workshop now publishing Linked Data (was Re: Linked Data on the Web (LDOW2009) workshop papers online.)

Hi all,

In the name of eating our own dog food, information about the upcoming
LDOW2009 workshop at WWW2009 is now being published as Linked Data.
Basically the workshop site [1] now contains a reasonable amount of
RDFa about papers, PC members and chairs, with links between LDOW2009
authors, chairs and PC members and their corresponding entries in the
SW Conference Corpus [2].

There is plenty more data that could be exposed, but I think this is a
reasonable start. If you want to see the data in other forms, you can
use the RDFa Distiller [3], to get e.g. RDF/XML [4].

Knud, if you're listening, would it be possible to get this data into
the SW Conference Corpus (and then maybe updated later if we publish
more)? Presumably this would ensure that links to authors not already
in the corpus would no longer 404.

For the record, the main workshop Web page is generated by a hacky
little PHP script that reads a data file; this script is now enhanced
to generate RDFa and links to the SW Conference Corpus. If people are
interested I can clean the code up and release it under some open
license; it makes an easy way to generate a workshop Web site that
does Linked Data out of the box.

Cheers,

Tom.
