SW, LOD and OGD

[on LOD, OGD, examples, strategies]

[one key point: coming from third parties, why?]

<josema> http://www.rdfabout.com/ -- those are the ones by Josh Tauberer

[eGov IG to emphasize in the doc why it's good for agencies to take on this but there are issues, hence FAQ entry and issues section in the doc]

[on LOD and OGD and FAQ #9: http://www.w3.org/2007/eGov/IG/faq#q9]

[from screen scraping to XML to SW, need of strategies for agencies to evolve]

[RDFa as bridging technology and easy way to start]

[need of expertise, no need to have everybody building triple stores in an agency, just someone building that]

<josema> SW in Europeana: http://www.europeana.eu/portal/thought-lab.html
and their data cloud: http://eculture.cs.vu.nl/europeana/www/datacloud.html

[john on the possibility to bridge different stores (XML _and_ SW ones) with something like SPARQL so you can have best of both worlds]

[most of the time you'll need both]

[legislation can be a good example on why RDF alone is not enough since one needs all the processing power of XML]

Note Editing

[jose on jigedit instructions, _very_ easy "load document, edit, save, done"]

[http://www.w3.org/Amaya/]

[oscar to start drafting Interoperability]
