Hi SWEOs, a small summary to the Portal-Discussion happening on the mailinglist and in todays telco: Kingsley put it in very good words in the telco, saying that we should focus on the deliverable we have at the moment: a SPARQL endpoint which gathers data about the semantic web. (see wikipage [HowtoPublish]) Based on this deliverable, there is a second step that people who run portals can take this data and integrate it into their portal (see wikipage [PortalPlans] for our own planned portal) But anybody who runs already a portal, can integrate the data. And we should still continue experiments on how the data can be visualized, for example by copying it into a longwell browser. Also, a colleague of mine offered to use his e-learning portal software ALOE for SWEO, and Susie found somebody from California (?) who may run such a portal. Anyway, a Portal will drag away much of our resources if we do it ourselves (see [PortalPlans]) We need to setup a server, write software, write a synchroniser or ontology alignment stuff for the data, write, code, work, etc. It also appeared to me, that us SWEO members may not make this happen, until somebody really says: I am going to do that. There is a chance we can convince external people to do it (for a list of possible candidates, see [DataSources], section "Information on Communities and Outreach Organizations". For example, the Semantic Web School Austria guys are such people we may be able to convince.

In my knowledge, conventional longwell needs a whole dump of the data to work, it was not possible to make longwell run with a sparql endpoint, for the linked data project there was a hack by Chris and you guys, but I don't know the details, and probably Danny doesn't either, if Longwell can work on top of virtuoso. Longwell keeps its own indizes and lucene stuff, it has always been standalone and not-integrate-with-your-server. Does Longwell now run directly on virtuoso? I remember Chris Bizer saying that they wnated to do that and that you guys implemented capable count() methods for longwell.....)
