<h1>Roadmap diagrams</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>2001/04/30</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Here are some roadmap diagrams which illustrate, broadly, dependencies
|
|
between</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>W3C activities both actual and contemplated. The granularity varies a
|
|
little. For example, st</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>the time to writing, Voice and XHTML seen as single nodes wheras in fact
|
|
they are each</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>composed of several items closely related.</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><a href="ws.svg">Web Services architecture under discussion</a>
|
|
<a></a></li>
|
|
<li><a href="sw.svg">Semantic Web components (simplified)</a> <a></a></li>
|
|
<li><a href="swws.svg">Combination of Web Services and Semantic Web</a>
|
|
<a></a></li>
|
|
<li><a href="all.svg">All activities</a></li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>Note. These are all in <a href="/Graphics/SVG">SVG</a><a></a> - so if you
|
|
don't have a browser like <a href="/Amaya/">Amaya</a> which supports it out of
|
|
the box then you will need a plug-in.</p>

<h2>How they were made</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>The raw data of the diagrams was entered by hand in RDF, and then various
|
|
small</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>files written which use rules to extract subsets of information. Another
|
|
file of rules</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>(a stylesheet in effect) derives colors and styles from the types of nodes
|
|
and relationships.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>See <a href="about.svg">diagram</a></p>
|
|
|
|
<p></p>
|
|
|
|
<p><img src="about.png" alt="data and style files are all in" /> </p>
|
|
|
|
<p>These are all fed into a generic RDF rule processor which combined the
|
|
information to produce the input data for the graph drawing program. An XSLT
|
|
script converts the RDF into the input format for the GraphViz software, which
|
|
then generates graphics files in a variety of formats. The SVG files produce
|
|
the best results, as they have the highest precison and can be zoomed. See <a
|
|
href="../../02pd/">DanC's converter</a> and ATT's open source <a
|
|
href="http://www.research.att.com/sw/tools/graphviz/">GraphViz</a>.</p>
|
|
|

<p></p>

|
<h2>Viewing SVG</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>The <a href="/Amaya">Amaya</a> browser will display SVG natively.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>There are a number of plugins for common browsers. <em>(The Adobe one is
|
|
controlled by the mouse, with combinations of Alt to move, Ctrl or Ctrl+Shift
|
|
to zoom , and has a right-click menu. If you don't see anything at first,
|
|
wait for it to finish loading them try zooming ot or moving)</em></p>
