Last week I released version 1.4.17 of my Raptor C library (release notes) but in the 38 releases over the 7 years or so since I started building it, there’s more to see than just triples.
I/O stream API Abstracts from specifics of I/O so that you can read/from write to any of a string/memory buffer, a [...]
Yahoo! Search announced today in their blog post that they will soon support in the Search Monkey project the use of semantic web technologies such as RDFa with standard vocabularies such as FOAF and Dublin Core. It also will do a lot of other cool stuff that you can read about above. It was nice [...]
Happy 10th Birthday XML. It’s clear you are going to be around for some time. People know your good points and bad and have got the kinks worked out using you in production, in diversity and at scale. Take care not to be distracted in the next 10 years by sexy new text formats that overlap [...]
It’s been nearly 2 years since I joined Yahoo! and the the semantic web-based technology I helped develop has been deployed in production for some time. It has been encouraging to see the ideas get more accepted since today I noticed that in a hotjobs search for rdf yahoo near Sunnyvale there 5 jobs open - not in my group, but in Yahoo! [...]
In January 2007 just for fun I started writing a C API to Flickr using the Flickr web services called Flickcurl. The name was because it was originally built using Flickr via libCurl to do the HTTP work … although right now it contains more use of libxml than of libcurl.
I started this for a bunch of reasons, including to [...]
I am heading to Portland next week for the O’Reilly Open Source Conference 2007 which I’ve been to only once before. This year’s conference has around 15 parallel tracks, which makes it pretty huge to follow. I’m hoping to get learn lots of new things, be inspired with ideas, meet some great people, and who knows, maybe hire some [...]
I’ve made a new thing: Triplr for GETting semwebby data. Go check it out.
It’s unrelated to the other older new thing not previously mentioned in a blog post: Flickcurl which is the C library I made for the Flickr API (about 25% complete) although I did steal the cute name from the utility which turns a Flickr photo’s description into triples, [...]
I often been puzzled why people write “The Semantic Web is AI” and “The Semantic Web is a top-down design” and “The Semantic Web is Ontologies”. As far as I’m concerned, all of those are bogus. I think I’ve worked out why they write this - they aren’t talking to anyone actually working [...]
My Raptor RDF parsing / serialising library has been doing GRDDL processing of a sort to make RDF triples for several years but it was only in Raptor 1.4.14 announced 31 January that I finally got round to managing the recursion through XML Namespace URIs and HTML head profiles, so that I was covering the majority of the spec. That was [...]
I was reading Google Deprecates Their SOAP Search API by Brady Forrest but it’s not really about SOAP, it’s the removal of a useful programmatic API entirely as the remaining AJAX Search API according to the terms of use, can only be invoked by a <script> tag and is thus not really an API for anyone [...]
