Dear Michel A semantic application for humans, how refreshing I want to congratulate on the effort, the interface is nice and friendly It even says 'humans welcome', things must be changing... I tried a clickin a few buttons and it retuned 'no data found' but I will look again (always in a hurry, bad connection etc) Has it been fully populated or is it my browser again? I will try to give you more feedback later Well done, hopefully it will become established practice is it optimized for any browser in particular? cheers PDM ----- Original Message ----- From: "Hausenblas, Michael" <michael.hausenblas@joanneum.at> To: <semantic-web@w3.org>; "Linking Open Data" <linking-open-data@simile.mit.edu>; "RDFa" <public-rdf-in-xhtml-tf@w3.org>; "SWD WG" <public-swd-wg@w3.org> Sent: Thursday, January 31, 2008 4:54 PM Subject: [Eurostat dataset] riese = linked data + RDFa [[ Apologies in case you receive multiple copies of this announcement ]] The 'riese' awakes: We are happy being able to announce the alpha release of riese (RDFizing and Interlinking the EuroStat Data Set Effort): http://riese.joanneum.at/ To the best of our knowledge this is the first approach deploying linked data with XHTML+RDFa. With 'riese' we aim at serving both humans (with a nice GUI) and machines (with RDF-based metadata) from a single source. Although we currently only serve some 5 million RDF triples, the goal is to have the entire Eurostat dataset (3 billion triples) online, along with millions of high-quality interlinks. The interlinking in 'riese' is hybrid: On the one hand we use standard template-based interlinking for, e.g. geonames interlinking, on the other hand we offer an interface to add semantic links in a Wiki manner, called User Contributed Interlinking (UCI). Regarding Semantic Web technologies, the following is an excerpt of what has been used to build 'riese': + linked data [1] + XHTML+RDFa [2] + SKOS [3] + SW crawling sitemap extension [4] Enjoy 'riese' and please contact us for feature requests or bug reports at: riese@joanneum.at The riese-team, Wolfgang, Yves & Michael PS: In case you wonder what 'riese' means: it's a pun - 'riese' is the German word for giant ;) [1] http://esw.w3.org/topic/SweoIG/TaskForces/CommunityProjects/LinkingOpenD ata [2] http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-rdfa-primer/ [3] http://www.w3.org/TR/skos-reference/ [4] http://sw.deri.org/2007/07/sitemapextension/ ---------------------------------------------------------- Michael Hausenblas, MSc.
