Putting Government Data online from Tim Berners-Lee

Putting Government Data online from Tim Berners-Lee:

Abstract

Government data is being put online to increase accountability, contribute valuable information about the world, and to enable government, the country, and the world to function more efficiently. All of these purposes are served by putting the information on the Web as Linked Data. Start with the "low-hanging fruit". Whatever else, the raw data should be made available as soon as possible. Preferably, it should be put up as Linked Data. As a third priority, it should be linked to other sources. As a lower priority, nice user interfaces should be made to it -- if interested communities outside government have not already done it. The Linked Data technology, unlike any other technology, allows any data communication to be composed of many mixed vocabularies. Each vocabulary is from a community, be it international, national, state or local; or specific to an industry sector. This optimizes the usual trade-off between the expense and difficulty of getting wide agreement, and the practicality of working in a smaller community. Effort toward interoperability can be spent where most needed, making the evolution with time smoother and more productive.

Monisme et Dualisme

Toutes les philosophies sont soit monistes soit dualistes. Les monistes pensent que le monde matériel est le seul qui existe. Les dualistes croient en un monde spirituel en plus du monde matérialiste.

Repository of Open Government Data Catalogs

Repository of Open Government Data Catalogs [1]. Until now, only the Open Data initiatives led by either governments or public agencies have been published. Now, any public sector information catalog (managed by citizen movements, transparency commissions, NGOs, and other institutions) is welcomed. The only requirement is that those catalogs must contain public sector information.

The second main feature is the collaborative aspect of the catalog. Anyone may contribute submitting new catalogs using a simple form [2]. All the changes will be moderated to avoid spam or inaccuracies. After the submission an the approval, the meta-information of the initiative will be available through a SPARQL endpoint [3].

Applications of Ontologies in Software Engineering

From Hans-Jörg Happel and Stefan Seedorf :
The Article

Abstract. The emerging field of semantic web technologies promises new stimulus for Software Engineering research. However, since the underlying concepts of the semantic web have a long tradition in the knowledge engineering field, it is sometimes hard for software engineers to overlook the variety of ontology-enabled approaches to Software Engineering. In this paper we therefore present some examples of ontology applications throughout the Software Engineering lifecycle. We discuss the advantages of ontologies in each case and provide a framework for classifying the usage of ontologies in Software Engineering.

Documentary about the Semantic Web by Kate Ray

Kate Ray, a Journalism/Psychology major at NYU made a documentary about the Semantic Web. The film gives a nice overview of what the Semantic Web is and what it is trying to achieve.
