Re: vCard RDF merge.... from Toby Inkster on 2009-06-30 (www-archive@w3.org from June 2009)
A while back I wrote a little RDF vocab that extended the 2006 vCard vocab. It introduces a few extra terms which I thought were useful, mostly taken from the vCard 4.0 drafts at the time. e.g. a "lang" property to indicate languages spoken by the person represented. One other thing it has though is a more vCard-like way of representing telephone numbers, e-mail addresses, etc.
Stop Justifying RDF and RDFa | Bb RealTech
I did want to apologize for assuming that the XHTML errors I had recently were due to WhatWG members having fun at my expense. I've had people deliberately break my XHTML-based comments in the past when I've written about XHTML, and the break was documented with a screenshot in the web site of a WhatWG member. I put 2 and 2 together and came up with 5. (1/10/2009)

Aligning Ontologies with Falcon - Home
Falcon-AO, a prominent component of Falcon, is an automatic ontology matching system that helps actualize interoperability between (Semantic) Web applications that use different but related ontologies. Recently, it has become a very practical and popular choice for matching Web ontologies expressed by RDF(S) and OWL. Falcon-AO is implemented in Java, and presently, it is an open source project under the Apache 2.0 license.
Why we love Semantic Web technologies - TechnicaLee Speaking
un peu trop communiqué de presse, mais des idées à retenirRDF is a data standard that is both expressive enough to represent any type of data that’s connected to the server and also flexible enough to handle new data sources incrementally. URIs provide a foundation for minting identifiers that don’t clash unexpectedly as new data sources are brought into the fold. Named graphs give us a simple abstraction upon which we can engineer practical concerns like security, audit trails, offline access, real-time updates, and caching.

surfrdf - Google Code
SuRF is an Object Oriented - RDF Mapper based on the popular rdflib python library. It exposes the RDF triple sets as sets of resources and seamlessly integrates them into the Object Oriented paradigm of python in a similar manner as ActiveRDF does for ruby
Understanding the Striped RDF/XML Syntax
This document provides a brief introduction to the underlying structure of the RDF/XML 1.0 graph serialization syntax. The Intended audience is mainly content and tool developers familiar with XML basics, and with the RDF model, who want a minimalistic understanding of RDF's XML syntax, so they can read and write RDF/XML with more confidence.

Bill de hÓra: Snowflake APIs
RDF is worth learning for a different reason — the profound enlightenment experience you will have when you finally get it. That experience will make you a better format and data API designer for the rest of your days, even if you never actually use RDF itself a lot. (You can get some beginning experience with RDF fairly easily by writing and modifying simple files like FOAF and DOAP for social networks and software projects, or RDFa extensions for XHTML.)
Turning the read-only Web of Data into a read-write Web of Data on Vimeo
We introduce pushback, a method that enables writing changes to non-RDF sources such as flickr, Twitter, Amazon, etc. from an RDF document.
The video explains our motivation, the architecture and the interaction between the components as well as RDForms. A demo (for Jira, a professional issue tracker system) is included in this video, where we show how to create, deploy and use an RDForm.
See esw.w3.org/topic/PushBackDataToLegacySources for further information.

Using the Semantic Web for Genealogy
(...) genealogy seems to be an obvious application of an RDF ontology and the Semantic web. I've investigated making use of RDF and the Semantic Web for Family History. The results of my investigation are here on this web page. In my work, I created a program to translate files in GEDCOM format to XML. I also wrote several stylesheets which translated the data into a new format GEDCOM XML, HTML, and RDF.
