|
Group</a> - what does this mean for RDF and the RDF Interest Group?</li>
|
|
<li>Tool developer show and tell: experiences of working with RDF (both
|
|
applications and generic RDF tools)</li>
|
|
<li>RDF and XML: relationship to other W3C XML work (XLink, XSLT, XML
|
|
Schemas, datatypes...)</li>
|

<h3>Tuesday, 27th Feb 2001 [revised]</h3>
|
|
|
|
<h4>0900-1030 Developer Shows and Tell [continued]</h4>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Dave Beckett: <a
|
|
href="http://www.redland.opensource.ac.uk/">Redland</a></li>
|
|
<li>Stefan Decker: triple</li>
|
|
<li>Michael Sintek: Protege</li>
|
|
<li>Libby Miller: <a
|
|
href="http://swordfish.rdfweb.org:8085/rdfquery/">Squish</a></li>
|
|
<li>Tod Matola: <a href="http://eor.dublincore.org/">EOR</a></li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h4>1030-1100 Break</h4>
|
|
|
|
<h4>1100-1200</h4>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Harold Boley: RuleML</li>
|
|
<li>Brian McBride: Jena</li>
|
|
<li>John Punin: <a
|
|
href="http://www.cs.rpi.edu/~puninj/WWW9/www9/www9outline.html">applications
|
|
of libww/RDF parser</a></li>
|
|
<li>Eric Prud'hommeaux: Annotea</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h4>1200-1330 Lunch</h4>
|
|
|
|
<p>Interest Table ideas & organizers:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>applications 'blue-sky' [Miller]
|
|
<p>Summary: lots of blue-sky enthusiasm, no killer app was uncovered.
|
|
Calendaring was discussed.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>simple query languages [Brickley]
|
|
<p>Summary: started to draft a table of capabilities, got into a
|
|
discussion of reification.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>APIs + Parsers [Schloss]
|
|
<p>Summary: several APIs have been written. Factoring triples, model,
|
|
serializing issues can lead to a clean implementation. Discussed
|
|
analogies with XML APIs, especially SAX and DOM. APIs don't yet treat
|
|
transactional semantics, schema constraint violation. Sense is that the
|
|
action is no longer in building custom APIs. Bias toward simple APIs vs.
|
|
assuming environments that support multithreading.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h4>1330-1500 Collaboration Opportunities</h4>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Sandro Hawke: NILE (10m)</li>
|
|
<li>Dave Beckett: parser test suite (20?m)</li>
|
|
<li>XTM (30m)</li>
|
|
<li>Coping with Synonyms; Sergey Melnik</li>
|
|
<li>Discussion of education and outreach</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h4>1500-1530 Break</h4>
|
|
|
|
<h4>1530-1630 Round Table - the future of RDF and the Interest Group</h4>
|
|
|
|
<p>DanC: suggest regular IG "meetings" via <a

|
|
|
|
<p>Task subgroup on converging data storage and APIs.</p>
|

<p>?Sublists for API, storage, abstract syntax<br />
|
|
