05:03:15<kasei>what's the simplest way to generate all OWL-Lite entailed statements of an graph?
05:03:45<kasei>I thought pellet would be able to do it, but I'm not seeing it.
05:07:02<kasei>and I seem to be doing something wrong trying to serialize a jena InfModel.
08:25:17<kwijibo>is it possible to configure firefox to render documents served as text/turtle as plain/text ?
10:17:22<UtopiahGHML>any good documentation on exploiting semantic data?
10:17:55<UtopiahGHML>(not just building schemas/ rdf, graphs but using them and providing a result that worths the effrots
10:18:07<UtopiahGHML>Id sth very well done to share with potential "clients"
10:33:13<BenO>Has someone published an onto for describing money? e.g. amount and denomination are all I currently need, and it would be a shame to reinvent the wheel in this case
10:39:58<kjetilkWork>UtopiahGHML: SPARQL would be a good starting point, see e.g.
10:40:00<kjetilkWork>http://thefigtrees.net/lee/sw/sparql-faq
10:40:18<kjetilkWork>A:|The SPARQL FAQ
10:43:42<kjetilkWork>Also, building views with Fresnel is interesting, though I haven't used it myself yet: http://simile.mit.edu/wiki/Fresnel
13:17:04<danja>can anyone else see http://www/umbel.org/lod_constellation.html ok? I'm getting dns fail
13:17:31<ldodds>danja: 404s for me
13:18:02<ghard>Works for me (once I fixed the typo in that URL)
13:18:16<ghard>http://www.umbel.org/lod_constellation.html
13:18:24<ghard>Arrrg
13:18:59<danja>thanks ghard, missed that
13:19:21<danja>B:| The Linking Open Data (LOD) Constellation
13:20:25<danja>B: visualized through class-level linkage - from the Umbel folks
13:21:25<ldodds>everyone wants to be the centre :)
13:29:22<fgiasson>ldodds: which are you seeing as "the one in the center" in this diagram?
13:30:53<ldodds>in that diagram umbel
13:31:08<fgiasson>won't it be in the bottom of the graph?
13:31:34<ldodds>"bottom"? its the one that seems to have the most and strongest links going to it
13:31:38<BenO>DanC, Just wondering if http://www.w3.org/TR/rdfcal/ is something that is moving forward/you'd recommend using? Or is there a successor?
13:32:59<fgiasson>ldodds: well, how would you define "center of the graph" then? the node that has the best connectivity in the graph, or the one that is visually in the middle of the graph?
13:33:40<ldodds>connectivity
13:33:56<ldodds>ACTION notes that he wasn't criticising the diagram, twas just a wry comment
13:35:45<fgiasson>ldodds: no I know; but great care has been taken not to show umbel has the central (visually) in the graph. But it is right that it is a wel connected node since it is its purpose: to be a structural hub to help inferencing/linkage between multiple ontologies. Check the couple of "exploding the domain" blog posts by Mike and me about this sucject
13:35:47<fgiasson>subject
13:44:37<danja_>ACTION hopeful umbel does achieve aims, but the class/individual mix would seem to limit inference for DLers...
13:44:59<fgiasson>danja_: this is another story :)
13:45:06<danja_>indeed :-)
13:46:11<danja_>whatever, nice to see different view(s) of the cloud
13:47:37<fgiasson>danja_: well, the ultimate cloud is one that link LOD datasets to the ontologies that describe the classes used to instantiate individuals that belongs to them; but it would becomes quite complexe, quickly ;)
13:47:58<fgiasson>danja_: at the end, all this cloud stuff is for education only
13:48:03<fgiasson>(at least on my end)
13:48:55<fgiasson>easy and simple things that people can "easily" understand and that will lead them to more specific data sources (datasets, ontologies, papers, books, websites, etc)
13:49:35<fgiasson>to shows a part of the current "ontological landscape" of the semantic web
14:41:31<uws>dajobe: around?
14:42:07<dajobe>barely
14:43:18<uws>dajobe: I'm playing around with librdf/python for the first time. Any clue why the example on top of http://clockwerx.blogspot.com/2005/09/snake-in-redland.html gives "RedlandError: 'Cannot split predicate URI http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/ into an XML qname - skipping statement'" when serialized (e.g. "print model")?
14:43:40<dajobe>well the message says why
14:43:57<dajobe>you used a triple with a predicate URI that can't be writen as RDF/XML
14:44:00<dajobe>so don't do that
14:44:07<dajobe>foaf has no such predicate, so it's illegal anyway
14:44:31<dajobe>gotta run. or ask on #redland
14:45:31<uws>dajobe: ah, check. the example is just broken
14:45:35<uws>dajobe: thanks for the pointers.
14:47:41<kidehen>fgiasson: no harm in putting umbel at the center of the diagram. It is the hub of this diagram just as DBpedia is the hub of the dbpedia-lod diagram
14:47:56<kidehen>fgiasson: no harm is simplifying all routes to clarity
14:48:29<kidehen>fgiasson: dbpedia is a hub for one kind of LOD space and UMBEL another. I'll deal with bring the spaces together :-)
14:48:52<kidehen>fgiasson: s/bring/bringing
16:39:55<terraces>hi - can someone tell me why importing RDFS in an ontology make it OWL-Full (using Pellet) ? eg http://apassant.net/tmp/ns2.xml
16:43:43<bengee>maybe because it defines properties which owl dl expects to be owl:ObjectProperties as rdf:Properties
16:44:13<bengee>subClassOf/range/domain
16:45:05<terraces>but the strange thing actually is that RDFS itself is OWL-Lite when I pass it through pellet
16:45:28<bengee>heh, really?
16:46:22<terraces>yep, that's what intrigues me
16:48:05<drobilla>there are no restrictions in rdfs
16:48:58<drobilla>though you could write a bunch of of data using rdfs that turns out to be owl-lite
16:49:29<terraces>yes, but I can't see what's wrong with my import
16:51:10<drobilla>I'm not familiar with pellet, sorry
16:51:34<drobilla>but it's not surprising that rdfs 'itself' is owl-lite but things described with it aren't necessarily
22:57:56<aniasis>can anyone explain what the semantic web is and what semantic search is?
23:17:39<Shepard>in how many sentences? ;)
23:17:55<Shepard>I guess wikipedia would be a good start
23:48:41<danja__>aniasis, the Semantic Web is generally taken to be the extension of the web from being a web of documents to a web of data - material that computers can digest
23:50:06<danja__>semantic search isn't very well defined - it usually means things like using natural language parsing tools to offer clearer results from the search engine
23:50:17<danja__>.g Semantic Web
23:50:18<phenny>danja__: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_Web
23:50:31<danja__>.g Semantic Search
23:50:31<phenny>danja__: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_search
23:50:46<danja__>ok Shepard, you win :-)
23:53:13<Shepard>ACTION is having fun with http://www.mr-lee-catcam.de/
