Re: W3C Linked Data Community Directory

I encoded the Community Directory (30 Members) on a spreadsheet and converted to RDF/XML[1].  The app is the index of this URL[2].  It is a transform of the RDF/XML to XHTML Strict 1.0.  The GRDDL of the XHTML (head) is also available[3], as well as a csv version of the spreadsheet[4].

There is a singlet example in RDF[5] and a Graph[6]


This was before I RTFM and found out that Callimachus uses a custom RDFa+XHTML, naturally.  I did make one hard wired adjustment to the XHTML Schema and that was a fixed "target" attribute which makes all links open in a new window ... tabbed browsing was not available at the time the spec was finalized.  I validated with Xerces and XSLT'ed with Saxon.  All the source files are available here[7].  


The data sources are: LOC (ID and LCSH), The National Atlas (US Counties), USGS Earth Explorer (Int'l Subdivisions), Ordinance Survey (UK Counties), US Census (US Counties), UN LOCODES Countries + Subdivisions, and Wikipedia to resolve UN LOCODE problems.

The main app has a 1) a Organization Nickname, 2) A link to the LOC Subject Heading (Europe and North America at this time).  The LCSH supplies broader terms. 3) A link to the narrowest available LOC Vocabulary Encoding, which you can follow up to the LCSH 4) Leftovers (the LOC has a lot of work to do), down to the narrowest Subdivision defined by UN LOCODES (who also have a lot of work to do, and needs a better definition of "peer").

Notice the Nicknames are sorted by LOC ID, and that extension down to Street Addresses would be a little pointless since no "knowledge" would aggregate.

Consider this a contribution from the non-Working Group eGov IG (and have fun).

Let me know if you want to add a full text regional identifier e.g.

Nickname = 3 Round Stones Inc.
ID = [North America].[United States].[Virginia].[Spotsylvania County]

It will come in real handy when there are thousands of entries; and the time to do it is when there are 29 entries since the maintenance is pretty easy.

Hi all,

The W3C has launched a community directory of eGov projects and suppliers:
  http://dir.w3.org

The directory is built on Callimachus [1], a Linked Data management system.  A SPARQL endpoint is available to authenticated users.


Regards,
Dave
