11:43:42<Wikier>hi
11:53:04<CaptSolo>hi
11:56:23<thosh>hello
12:02:53<thosh>in the specification there is sioc:related_to:
12:02:53<thosh>"related_to - Related Posts for this Post, perhaps determined implicitly from topics or references."
12:03:08<thosh>so it has a domain and range of sioc:Post
12:03:23<thosh>but a property like that would also be useful for e. g. sioc:Thread - I could use such a thing for vBulletin's threads
12:03:49<thosh>unfortuanetly it can't easily be solved by changing related_to's domain and range to sioc:Item, because Thread is a sioc:Container
13:36:01<CaptSolo>hi thosh
13:36:50<CaptSolo>thosh: if so, we may have to drop domain and range of sioc:related_to altogether
13:37:31<CaptSolo>at least in RDFS it is not possible to say that a range of a property is ClassA _or_ ClassB
13:38:20<CaptSolo>for some other SIOC properties we "solve" this by dropping domain or range
13:38:26<CaptSolo>---
13:39:01<CaptSolo>thosh: did you just update WP SIOC plugin to 1.24 or also patched the line to fix foaf:mbox_sha1sum bug?
13:40:43<CaptSolo>tuukkah: another cool feature of IRC log page would be if we could search logs for some text
13:46:13<CaptSolo>---
13:46:15<CaptSolo>http://www.progbox.co.uk/wordpress/?p=461#comments
13:46:25<CaptSolo>an author is talking about printing his blog as a book
13:46:59<CaptSolo>has crossed my mind too
13:47:44<CaptSolo>and one of the commenters is saying he'd like a script too (so that he can adapt it) but that he is using Drupal and not WordPress
13:47:54<CaptSolo>now, this is where SIOC could help
14:31:01<thosh>CaptSolo: re. sioc:related_to - maybe there is a property saying somehting is "similar" or related to another thing in another ontology?
14:31:44<tuukkah>rdfs:seeAlso is something like that
14:31:53<thosh>CaptSolo: I didn't modify your WP SIOC plugin, just installed it.
14:35:36<thosh>tuukkah: yeah, kind of. still I'd like to have something more specifc. at the moment the various sioc exporters use rdfs:seeAlso just to show crawlers where to find more tripels for a given resource (as in paging)
14:36:38<tuukkah>thosh, indeed
15:00:52<tuukkah>so CaptSolo, is this a fair or an unfair implementation of search?-)
15:17:38<CaptSolo>tuukkah: what is?
15:17:41<CaptSolo>this
15:17:59<tuukkah>what i put up now
15:18:06<tuukkah>on the index page
15:18:58<CaptSolo>tuukkah: i see :)
15:19:07<CaptSolo>it's fair, a good start
15:19:25<CaptSolo>although i'd expect more from a search
15:19:40<CaptSolo>e.g., matching lines (+ maybe come context)
15:20:21<CaptSolo>saying that a word is mentioned somewhere in the 1000 lines long irc log is a good start, but still leaves some work to be done to find the actual mentions
15:26:42<tuukkah>that's right
15:44:03<RKlyne_work>CaptSolo: "at least in RDFS it is not possible to say that a range of a property is ClassA _or_ ClassB" - Are you sure about this? Wouldn't the triples [(x, rdfs:range, ClassA), (x, rdfs:range, ClassB)] do it?
16:12:14<tuukkah>and scor, now we have... a table with columns =)
16:12:49<scor>tuukkah: OMG, this is awesome! :D
16:13:34<scor>I like web usuability!
16:13:58<tuukkah>scor, what do you mean?
16:14:52<scor>tuukkah: I mean as it is this page is more readable. a human eye is able to flow the information in a quicker way now!
16:15:36<tuukkah>i see. so you prefer readable pages to unreadable pages =)
16:18:03<scor>tuukkah: yes, of course. make the web machine readable does not imply make the web human non readable! :p
16:36:45<CaptSolo>scor, tuukkah: what pages areyou talking about?
16:36:55<tuukkah>CaptSolo, the logindex still
16:37:25<CaptSolo>RKlyne_work: no. what those triples will do is state that range is ClassA _and_ ClassB
16:37:38<CaptSolo>e.g., if ClassA is a house and ClassB is a car
16:38:17<CaptSolo>then using a property with range defined as you wrote there would imply that the object of that statement is both a car and a house
16:38:34<CaptSolo>we stumbled upon that issue in the past.
16:38:52<CaptSolo>and had to remove statements which we erroneously thought to express "or"
16:39:01<CaptSolo>tuukkah: ah, the table!
16:39:05<CaptSolo>looks nice :)
16:39:36<CaptSolo>there's only 1 day which has log for #haskell2
16:40:28<scor>CaptSolo: about http://tuukka.iki.fi/tmp/logindex.html
16:40:29<tuukkah>yes, it appears because of some testing i've done
16:40:39<scor>I find it more readable now
16:40:44<scor>more appealing
16:40:54<tuukkah>CaptSolo, gone
16:53:32<CaptSolo>scor: re. readable - well, sometimes table structure is less readable
16:53:59<scor>CaptSolo: less readable for who? human or machine?
16:54:18<CaptSolo>scor: it gives a better overview for when the logs are collected.
16:54:22<CaptSolo>oh, it's a good change :)
16:54:25<CaptSolo>thx, tuukkah
16:54:42<scor>CaptSolo: I don't get your point
16:54:58<CaptSolo>scor: what i mean is that a column repeating same thing on and on ("sioc, sioc, sioc, ...") becomes boring for a human
16:55:09<CaptSolo>and brain starts to get tired from it, filter it out
16:55:52<CaptSolo>just a general observation. i don't see how that can be taken into account to improve it. so don't consider this a critique. it's just an observation.
16:56:18<scor>maybe, but then you could just say SIOC in the <thead> with some nice green V
16:56:59<scor>but my point is it's visually easier to spot which days have been active or not (no logs or logs)
16:57:13<CaptSolo>scor: that's true
16:57:30<scor>CaptSolo: ;)
16:57:34<tuukkah>do browsers support thead so i should use it?
16:58:23<CaptSolo>tuukkah: dunno re. thread, my reply weas to it being visually easier to spot
16:58:43<scor>well, it's part of the standards http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/tables.html#h-11.2.3
16:59:10<scor>although I don't know what the browser exactly do with it. it depends. it's also used in CSS for theming
16:59:34<CaptSolo>scor: it's good as it is
16:59:56<scor>sure, I'm just knitpicking now!
17:03:13<tuukkah>i could put a tbody per year ;-)
17:17:04<CaptSolo>http://sw.deri.org/svn/sw/2005/08/sioc/media/
17:17:25<CaptSolo>this is a directory with different SIOC-related multimedia materials
17:17:34<CaptSolo>mainly figures, images
17:17:42<CaptSolo>(in case if you did not know about this yet)
17:18:31<CaptSolo>vector graphics files often are in a .CDR format which is John's preferred illustration editing app
17:20:58<tuukkah>CDR?
17:25:45<thosh>tuukkah: it's a corel draw format
17:26:15<tuukkah>ok, right
21:39:56<alder>is there a little example in rdf/xml with two blog posts annotated with sioc where maybe the one references the other?
21:41:20<alder>with has_reply or related_to ?
