Chump bot to edit SKOS file via IRC or how to create useful folksonomy

Hi,

I don't know if chump bot developments are stalled or not. The last  
date on usefulinc is

[[[
2003-06-11  Edd Dumbill
         * Added --utf-8 (-u) option to make the bot read and write  
UTF-8
         rather than Latin 1.  Added EntityEncoderU class to deal with
         this, and made various changes throughout the source base to
         always use UTF-8 internally, no matter what we're serialising.

I was wondering if on the channel #swig something could be developed  
to maintain a collective SKOS file that would be accessible from  
http://rdfig.xmlhack.com/

SKOS -> http://www.w3.org/TR/swbp-skos-core-guide/

Right now, on IRC, we can achieve this:

11:55:38 <bengee>  http://www.confoto.org/w3photo
11:55:38 <dc_swig> B: http://www.confoto.org/w3photo from bengee
11:55:51 <bengee>  B:|w3photo scutterplans and photo data
11:55:52 <dc_swig> Titled item B.
11:56:06 <bengee>  B:converts w3photo's RSS 2.0 feeds to RDF/XML

My first thought was, let's do a simple tagging system ala  
del.icio.us, a command like

B:tag photography rss rdf

And that would attach three tags to the system, which in the source  
of the RSS feed for the site

   <item rdf:about="http://www.confoto.org/w3photo">
     <link>http://www.confoto.org/w3photo</link>
     <chump:contributor>
       <foaf:Person>
         <foaf:nick>bengee</foaf:nick>
       </foaf:Person>
     </chump:contributor>
     <chump:contributedAt>2005-06-15 11:55</chump:contributedAt>
     <title>w3photo scutterplans and photo data</title>
     <description>
     [...]
     </description>

     <dc:subject>photography</dc:subject>
     <dc:subject>rss</dc:subject>
     <dc:subject>rdf</dc:subject>

   </item>

It could also be automatically posted to del.icio.us

That was my first thought, my second thought was about the second tag  
soup generation that is growing, my own list of tags on del.icio.us  
becomes not manageable and not useful. I would love to have my own  
little private taxonomy (ontology).

so I thought, that would be cool if could do

     B:tag: http://example.org/art/photography   (stupid example ;) )

So more than giving a name I could give an URI, maybe not usable  
there could be a namespace thingy ala.

     B:tag art:photo

so it will be shorter to write, and have a chump bot help option with

chump, list namespaces?

Then I thought I could have a way to create a SKOS file from IRC  
directly. Taking one example of the specification
<rdf:RDF
   xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"
   xmlns:skos="http://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos/core#">

   <skos:Concept rdf:about="http://www.example.com/concepts#shrubs">
     <skos:prefLabel xml:lang="en">shrubs</skos:prefLabel>
     <skos:altLabel xml:lang="en">bushes</skos:altLabel>
     <skos:prefLabel xml:lang="fr">arbuste</skos:prefLabel>
     <skos:altLabel xml:lang="fr">buisson</skos:altLabel>
   </skos:Concept>

</rdf:RDF>

That would give something like

<karl>      skos: http://www.example.com/concepts#shrubs
<dc_swig>   sA: http://www.example.com/concepts#shrubs
<karl>      sA:|@en shrubs
<karl>      sA:altLabel@en bushes
<karl>      sA:|@fr arbustes
<karl>      sA:altLabel@en buisson

The same way Chump is working with URIs  but with a few additional  
options
