Hi Michael,

There is a small bug in the Turtle representation: in e.g. my colour

    <http://companjen.name/id/BC><http://companjen.name/id/BC>  a   rdf:Resource ;
        cold:colour loc:26bd27 .

    cold:color a owl:AnnotationProperty ;
        rdfs:label "color"@en ;
        rdfs:domain rdf:Resource ;
        rdfs:range dbpo:Colour .

... you mixed up "color" and "colour". That's all :)
thank you for reporting this small bug. Now it should be fixed.

By the way, I really like my colour!
Yes your color is quite good.
Its even more fancy than my one:

Maybe we should open a contest about beauty WebId's :-)

All the best

Dear all,

On behalf of AKSW research group [1] I'm proud to announce an innovative
approach for coloring the Data Web. The monochromacity of the Data Web
is widely perceived to be the main obstacle for a wider deployment and
penetration of Linked Data and Semantic Technology (cf. e.g. [2]).

So far, no unified algorithm existed for coloring the Data Web. With
http://cold.aksw.org  we developed a key base technology able to color
URIs and IRIs (future work will focus on literals, whole triples,
containers, reifications etc.). Features of COLD include:

* globally unique URI/IRI coloring algorithm
* cross-application color consistency
* ensuring color fidelity
* built in color attack prevention
* support for vocabulary/ontology coloring
* 24bit / 16,777,216 color support
* integrated RGB support, extensibility for other color models
* example implementations in five programming languages
* small memory and code footprint

We deem COLD to be the key technology for the ultimate breakthrough of
semantic technologies. COLD is already implemented in a number of tools
including CubeViz [3]. Please beware of brand infringement, due to color
trademark protection (cf. [4]).

Best,

Michael Martin
