Stéphane has just posted a call for feedback on the Drupal 7 RDFa design, before the first official alpha release. First reaction above all, is that this is great news! Very happy to see this work maturing. I’ve tried to quickly suggest some tweaks to the vocab, by hacking his diagram in photoshop. All it really shows [...]

I’ve just closed the loop on last weekend’s XMPP / Apple Remote hack, using Strophe.js, a library that extends XMPP into normal Web pages. I hope I’ll find some way to use this in the NoTube project (eg. wired up to Web-based video playing in OpenSocial apps), but even if not it has been a [...]

In the NoTube project, we are exploring the use of Semantic Web technology in Television and Web-TV scenarios. By making use of richer and linked descriptions of content and users, we hope to help users better find (and annotate, tag, cross-link etc.) content that is interesting to them. The growing amount of linked RDF data [...]
