Hi Bernadette, 2012/10/16 Bernadette Hyland<bhyland@3roundstones.com>: > Hi Ivan, > Thanks for sharing this announcement. I found the tool easy to use and well > explained. Nice work. Thank you very much for your nice words, and apologizes for the late response: we've been addressing some of your comments to improve this beta release. > I liked how quickly I could upload a csv file (note a .CSV failed, so that > needs some attention) and view it immediately in Exhibit. What are you > plans for increasing the results set? I understand the reasons to limit > results, however, what is your experience with increasing the number to say > 1,000? Good point! We've actually increased the number of results to 1000. With more results allowed, Exhibit runs slower. > There are some decisions in the automatically generated Turtle that were > made and are not clear. We've just created a pair of explanation videos for a quick intro on how to use Tabels and how to work with maps. Hopefully, they will be helpful enough [1]. Regarding the RDF generated from a simple auto program, it just reflects the structure of a plain table. The templates can be modified to produce the desired RDF. In addition, this simple auto program does not automatically recognize complex table structures. This has to be done manually, writing a specific Tabels program. We're currently working in the auto-recognition of some table structures. > Also, some documentation on whether this is an R&D > project that is up for the duration of someone's dissertation or research > grant, or a project you intend to support for the foreseeable future, maybe > even as a FLOSS project. Tabels is a self-funded project of CTIC, partially developed in the context of some R&D projects. CTIC bets then for Tabels as a promising tool which deserves investment and commitment. At this moment, Tabels is not an open source project, but it is publicly available as a service. Users can benefit from Tabels to perform their own data transformations. We'll keep in the next months the development of Tabels and its data-exploitation toolkit in order to provide more appealing features to end-users. > There are many tools available but supported tools that have the potential > to grow into community supported OS projects are entirely something > different and will be met with more enthusiasm. > > Finally, how would you like the community to report issues?

We have provided a web form both in the web page and the service to facilitate the feedback. We are really interested in the comments and suggestions from you and the community.
