Extract Microsoft(tm) Outlook(tm) data into RDF -- lookout.py (tm) ;-) http://www.w3.org/2000/10/swap/ --> http://www.w3.org/2000/10/swap/pim/lookout.py > - Which schema describes Emails, contacts and appointments > (Microsoft-independent) ? I have a tool that exports IMAP as RDF... I haven't found time to get the schema published... "Recent (Feb2002) development: * extracted 18MB of RDF/xml about 16000 messages using mid_proxy.py, which proxies IMAP queries over HTTP, with results in RDF (or HTML). (it started as a proxy resolver for mid: URIs) * ran some rules over all that RDF. (the computation used over 200MB of RAM; it finished in somwhere less than 6 hours on this 1.7GHz/1GB machine). The rules are, roughly: * Replies come from people; if a message has an in-reply-to header, then the address in the From header is the contact:mailbox of somebody, and the phrase used in the From header is the contact:fullName of that person. * If I wrote to the mailbox of a person, then that person is a contact of mine." http://www.w3.org/2000/04/maillog2rdf/email.html > - Where can i download it .... ? > > I already found some schemas in the Netscape/Mozilla RDF thingy, but > my feeling says that there has to be some CENTRAL schema for this > stuff that experts like you all know about...
