RE: Sheaflight Linked Data Browser

Hi Ian,

 

looks interesting (although I'm not a fan of graph-visualization).

 

Are you going to open source it? I'm especially interested in the
backend code for retrieving linked data and accessing that backend store
from silverlight...

 

Cheers,

Georgi

Subject: Sheaflight Linked Data Browser

 

Hi All,

 

I recently developed a new linked data browser as part of an MSc
project, and I'm looking for people to give it a try and send me some
feedback about the experience. The feedback consists of a simple
questionnaire, (about 20 questions), which ask you to rate some of the
browsers features on a scale of 1-5.

Sheaflight is an experimental Linked Data Browser
<http://www.sheaflight.com/browser/SheaflightBrowser.aspx>  which uses
Microsoft's Silverlight <http://silverlight.net/>  technology and Joshua
Tauberer's Semantic Web/RDF library
<http://razor.occams.info/code/semweb/>  to deliver a Treemap
<http://www.cs.umd.edu/hcil/treemap/>  visualization of the underlying
RDF/XML representation of resources (HTTP URIs).

In order to run the browser application, it is necessary to download and
install the Microsoft Silverlight 2 Beta2 plug-in which is available
from the Microsoft Silverlight <http://www.microsoft.com/SILVERLIGHT/>
site. Please refer to the Silverlight documentation for issues regarding
supported platforms, etc. After the plug-in has been installed, you can
simply point your browser to the Sheaflight Browser
<http://www.sheaflight.com/browser/SheaflightBrowser.aspx>  page. 

Additional documentation may be obtained from the website 
www.sheaflight.com <http://www.sheaflight.com/> .

Many thanks in advance,
