    susie: kjetil: updates on community projects?

Community projects

    kjetilk: a new text on the mailinglist about community projects

    susie: would it be good to organize a hacker community meeting to
    get things started?

    kjetilk: face to face is good, but I am not sure if travelling and
    ... is good for this

    susie: what about a conference and colocating it?

    kjetilk: perhaps ISWC/ESWC

    susie: There is the Semantic Technology conference

    <PaulaP> one is Vienna, one in Innsbruck

    <PaulaP> +1

    Dunitschka: the semantic technology is in vienna

Information gathering

    <Susie> Leo discussing what RDF formats to use for InfoGathering.

    <Susie> Leo has problem in that there isn't concensus on the best
    approach

    kidehen: leo: my perspective is that when we locate resource that
    fall into different categories
    ... the important thing is to be able to identify items like
    atom/rss
    ... SIOC is being modified at the moment, it was motivated with
    dicsussion forums and blogs
    ... SIOC we want to make it more generic
    ... as long as it is a standard format, we will import it
    ... there is no conflicts between SIOC and data

    leobard: so lets use the current proposal of RDFvocabs and say we
    are open for more

    kidehen: I can put the data gathering software on a W3C server
    ... part of dbpedia project, we can make a SWEO part of it

    ivan: first issue: checked the wiki, made some small additions
    ... one point is bibtex

    leobard: if we stress this now, I would go to the stuff
    bibsonomy.org uses

    ivan: I use bibsonomy.org, fine with me

    leobard: I have contact with them, we can fix bugs (Robert)

    ivan: second issue: kingsley was asking ... one thing is developing
    and installing it, second is maintaining it
    ... if its successfull, we have to be ready for a blast
    ... we may face an overload

    ivan: we have to keep this running forever

    kidehen: temporary solution: I have servers
    ... data is peanuts compared to what I already handle
    ... my server provides a rdf dump

    leo: I see three steps, A is agree on a data format, B is gathering
    the source data, C is displaying it user friendly
    ... A seems to be done, B and C have to be coordinated now

    kidehen: is there rdf sources out there?

    <kidehen> yes

    ivan: there are... dave becket, book list, bibsonomy, ...
    ... w3c has some talks metadata

    leobard: if we as SWEO propose a format, people will love it
    ... we have to agree on A

    we need to update
