[dlpdev] Reading lists in FOAF (fwd)

[jo walsh]

hello distributed library people,

i thought you might like this email from leigh mentioning his work with an
RDF schema for books. it sounds quite relevant to http://dlp.theps.net/ , 
this is a node of the 'distributed library project' though it is not as
distributed as yet we might wish.

leigh, perhaps youd be interested in getting involved - there are several
community libraries scattered around england having occasional meetings
and building indexes using the existing software from
http://communitybooks.org/ but quickly finding some of its constraints -
such as inflexibility of categorisation - a pain.

i'm very interested in the talk on this list of a RDF discussion group but
i'm still in san francisco and not sure when i will be back in london or
for how long. maybe leigh (who also wrote the foaf-a-matic) could be
roped into that occasionally, also dan and libby the bristol foafers...

[0] http://dlpdev.theps.net/DlpGraphModels for some graph sketches made at
a DLP meeting. for classification stuff i have been thinking more and more
about the self-reinforcing freeform-tagging approach at
http://del.icio.us/ (a bookmark sharing / 'shared memory palace' site)     

[1] http://rdfweb.org/topic/OwningStuff as a more general schema for
owning and sharing things...

i have some work converting the DLP backend into a foaf model still
unfinished on my hard disk and saul was talking about having it output
XML, rather than html so we could transform it.

Subject: [rdfweb-dev] Reading lists in FOAF

Hi,

I've spent a bit of time this week writing a transform 
to capture data from AllConsuming.net and turn it into 
RDF [1].

As part of that I wrote up a simple schema for describing 
reading lists, e.g. what have I read, what am I intending 
to read, which books are my favourites, etc [2].

Cheers,

L.
