Semantic Web

A couple of weeks ago, a much anticipated launch finally took place: The Getty Arts and Architecture Thesaurus is now available as Linked Open Data to the joy of much of the cultural heritage community. This was a major step for the Getty Vocabularies programme which so far allowed access to its data through its website or through a paid subscription API.

Hi,

I am creating an academic website with RDF mappings for the content. I am using Drupal 7, RDF 7.x-2.0-alpha4 and Biblio 7.x-1.0-rc5. I have couple of questions.

1) In the RDF UI Mappings for the content types from biblio module, there is no facility to map the fields already present in the content type. RDF Mappings only show up for the newly created fields. Is there a way to do this for existing fields of biblio content types?

It's been a pet peeve of mine for a long time that, while D.O and G.D.O have a lot of great ways to add ideas and discuss them there's really no efficient way of collectively prioritizing the ones we should focus our efforts on.

I have spent a lot of time trying out different tools that do this, as well as trying to design and build them. We may at some point reach a home-grown solution, but in the meantime I have found a very simple and effective tool that I'm trying out. It's called Tricider. I've posted an initial question here:

I am giving a talk at Badcamp on Big Data Drupal: Cloudera Hadoop, MapReduce, Nutch, Solr, Aegir BOA, Drupal 7 ApacheSolr Views

http://2013.badcamp.net/sessions/big-data-drupal-cloudera-hadoop-mapredu...

I am trying to gather some other experts i.e. Cloudera / Hadoop / MapReduce + HyperDrupal + Twig etc to come and handle the bigger and deeper questions

We are excited to let you know about the high level hands-on workshop on Drupal Content Management System - organized by the the IEEE Kerala GOLD along with the FOSS Young Professional Meet 2013 on September 27,28 and 29 at Technopark Trivandrum.. This will be the 9th such training by Chennai Drupal Community! Our last one was at KGISL and KITE Engineering College, Coimbatore.

I'm wondering if anyone has done any work on importing Facebook groups wholesale into Drupal Organic Groups? I know we can export all the data from a Facebook group using the Facebook API. I guess the main task is to how to map Facebook comments (with revisions?), users, events and pages to a local Drupal instance. I guess make placeholders for these Facebook objects and allow these to be acquired retrospectively? Any ideas? Any projects with similar aims?

I hope this isn't a dumb question, but do the drupal RDF* modules support having a separate RDF database like Neo4j or others?
It seems that any full-scale semantic application implemented with Drupal will very quickly grind to a halt if the data is stored in an RDBMS.
If there's been any discussion, drupalcon talks, or similar on this subject, I'd be very interested to click on that.

RDFx allows for fields to be expressed as RDFa. Sometimes RDF concepts exist in other locations, for example DBpedia, and not as part of the local taxonomies. What is the recommended way to link to these external resources? These resources do have persistent URIs, so I guess the simplest thing to do is to make the field into a link. But ideally one would prefer to get a good label to show on the HTML output rather than the link itself. RDF Proxy (http://drupal.org/project/rdfproxy) seems to be doing that but the project appears to be abandoned. Any ideas?
