What is done right now:

Please add what SIOC related things applications you are working on now / are planning to do:

Microblogging

Alex is making a Twitter-like microblogging application in the semantic web way. It allows you to produce SIOC Posts saved locally on your webserver, then you ping microblogging server which displays it with Exhibit.

PlanetPHP exporter

To use for John's planet.journals.ie - Thomas (for other tasks see also User:Thosch)

Which applications should be done next

See also Whiteboard 3

What are the most imprtant things that should be done next? Everyone should attach a weight of how important an item is to him/her - e.g. distribute a total of 10 points between the applications. Also write comments and say what you can personally take ownership of.

Distributed conversation tracking

Build an application providing blog and forum users a way to do follow conversation on differnt site - similar to coComment or Disqus

Votes and Comments:

Visualisation

Cosmin suggested an app doing some (not SIOC specific) data visualisation in browser, 3D navigation - he might want to demo somehting on that topic?

Votes and Comments:

SIOC Feed Reader

Expanding Straw or Buxon so that you can subscribe to SIOC feeds in order to follow blogs, blog comments, web forum threads etc.

Votes and Comments:

Use of RDFa

Use RDFa (in current or new exporters?) for having some more typed information inside posts, like structured blogging.

Votes and Comments:

Data portability plugins

Importers for blogs, forums...

Votes and Comments:

"SPARQLPRESS"

"SPARQLPRESS" - have a RDF store to a blog or a community site, so that all content which is created, is also put in the store - so each site has a companion RDF store that is being worked on in Drupal - people can query directly the content of drupal, but not in a SQL way but in a SPARQL way that is a research or implemenatation question - when will you run into problems when people run expensive querys. DOS you could have limits on queries or have preset querys that people can run - like a web service

Votes and Comments:

Miscellaneous

SIOC Discovery

Four possible architectures (also see Whiteboard 1):

  • True Peer-to-peer
  • P2P with SuperNodes
  • Centrally stored - like Sindice
  • Store data in the applications end-user-oriented (e.g. an application like a feed reader collects only the data the user wants)

SIOC Branding

We need SIOC logos for applications and branding - meeting abour branding? SIOC slogan - SIOC you? SIOC yourself?

Name for SIOC browser

Name for SIOC browser needed - as it is now not SIOC specific anymore but a generic RDF browser

Put your suggestions here: Udlis: Something like Data-R-Us Thomas: Datasaurus (datasaur.us)

Add SIOC apps to SemWeb catalogs

Adding SIOC applications to semantic web catalouges - which are there?

  • If anyone sees a wiki where SIOC would belong - add it.
  • Everyone should create a doap.rdf files for their SIOC projects. It needs a foaf:topic_interest pointing to SIOC on DBpedia (although foaf:topic_interest has foaf:Person for the domain). Send the link of your doap file to Ping the semantic web and Alex' DOAP store will get it.
  • Alex agrees to nag people about creating DOAP files.
  • There is this semantic web education and outreach on ESW wiki and there is only openlink as SIOC application → change that.

SIOC Podcast

We might interview business users of SIOC

SIOC usage patterns

How is SIOC data used? Do quantitative and/or qualitative analysis.

Add news aggregator to sioc-project.org

Add a news aggregator to sioc-project.org that gathers all the news about SIOC as Drupal provides that possiblity. Currently the cron is not running - Stephane takes ownership of that - but there are only two feeds at the moment. We had a two way link between mailing list and forum - is it still working?
