SWWS: An RDF Calendar Trial

@@ugh this page is a mess.

NOTE: DanC's hand-written schedule/itinerary has been moved to a separate page.

news:

• Leigh Dodds' XML.com report on the RDF Calendar task force

recently, in the RDF calendar forum...

For me, the goal is a working RDF model for iCal; i.e. an RDF schema with lots of tools and data and services available. [...]

So let's get a bunch of social practice (real world data and tools and services) going around this schema.

So... what's a use-case we can work on together? How about the SWWS event?

There are lots of relevant sources of data

• OAG flight schedules
• my palm pilot

  (oops... broke it.)

• the meeting organizers

  (libby transcribed their stuff!)

• local night-life event calendars

So here we are. Next step: integrate with some work by other folks on an ICal schema, query services, etc.:

• content (Libby; not all is hybrid yet)
• schema (Libby et. al.; annotated)

  notes: things vs. their names (fixed). "none of the above" for recurrence; ala pd:OneTime.

• Search SWWS Conference data (Libby)

  For this system, Squish requires that you include a ical:description element for each ical:Calendar element, and ical:description and ical:dstart and ical:dend ical:Date objects

  I suggest using ical:summary on ical events.

• SWWS Schedule (Geoff Chappell. ann 24 Jul 2001)

  rdfql is to rules ala cwm --filter is to --think

• datebook ->hybrid (Libby)
• grokNavItin.pl (DanC)
• Aarons' plans (Aaron)
• Libby's plans

  in timezone stuff... odd... +0800 denotes an integer?

• EricM's itinerary in RDF/N3, RDF/xml plans for the week in RDF/N3, in RDF/xml
• SWAG cwm service. (sean/Aaron)
• pd2ical
• cyc time vocab, transportation vocab jbthingy @@

my southwest flight isn't in the OAG thingy. MCI->SJC 30 Jan schedule. (their schedule form uses POST when it should use GET, so it was a pain to concoct that link. @@quality tips for webmasters)

TODO/ideas

• is the hybrid ICal schema above grounded in running code? that is: has anybody written software to take RDF using this vocabulary and write it out in ICalendar format? or vice versa? I sorta started: vcal2xm.pl
• a circles-and-arrows diagram of some of this data?
