Sir Tim Berners-Lee: The next Web of open, linked data
Ok, let’s practise: shout out loud Raw Data Now!
Good, and again… :-)
So, what’s the bottom line?
Open is good, no doubt about that. And the concept will work right away with all things non private – actually it does already today. But we have to start considering about privacy concerns now in order to implement it as common practise in our day-to-day life.
But one step at a time… Raw Data Now!
Mac: HTTP Client – your friend while (semantically) RESTing
Speaking about nice little GUI helpers on the Mac: in case you’re – again like me – a fan of REST for your (semantic) web application’s software architecture you might enjoy working with Todd Ditchendorf’s HTTP Client.
A Mac OS X Leopard developer tool for debugging HTTP services by graphically creating & inspecting complex HTTP messages.

The app. comes in particularly handy while exploring the semantic web’s linked data spaces. E.g. in case you want to test with different Accept headers (JSON vs. XML/RDF) against your linked data space, e.g. my URI matthiasgeisler.net/id/me, built with Paget.
Why does the Semantic Web matter: a Video Presentation in 5 Minutes
Well, simply because …
…a revolution is happening in the structure of the web itself. It’s gentle and it’s powerful, it’s like tai-chi: you hardly know that is happening, but when it hits, it has a massive impact.
(by Tom Llube, explaining the Semantic Web at the Davos economic forum.)

Yes, that’s what the semantic web is about.
Released my personal linked data space into the wild
I just published my personal URI/ linked data space at http://matthiasgeisler.net/id/me.
The space is built with Paget, an open source PHP framework for building linked data applications by Ian Davis. The framework requires the moriarty library (by Talis) and ARC2 (by semsol / Benjamin Nowack).
As Paget is currently only focussed on publishing data. Updates require touching the RDF resources – in my case static RDF files served by a custom, FileBasedUriSpace.
Lesson Learned: thanks to the great work of Ian and Benjamin a personal contribution to the Semantic Web, by exposing/ sharing personal linked data, is these days already pretty straight forward. And of course fun after all… :-).
Looking forward to integrate and ellaborate this experience into my book!
