Project page update

Despite having been cranking out the software over the last few weeks I have neglected my applications page. I still haven't added wilbur-ext, but CL-AJAX and my URIQA implementation now have a home.

Next should be the tag ontology, then maybe I should head back towards FRBR… or even finish this damned paper!

CL-AJAX fix

A thousand thanks to Bob Bane, who sent me a fix for CL-AJAX's JavaScript under WebCore. Open source at its best — I thought I'd already tried the solution, so I would never have found it myself. Thanks Bob! A new .tar.gz is winging its way to this server as I write.

Want

• Write-on poly sheets — instant whiteboard! Static-sticks to the wall.
• Zebra tele-scopic pen — cheap and pocketable! Could it displace the Space Pen from my pocket?
• Noodler's ink. It's black, it doesn't feather, it's ink. I guess I'm a pen geek. Diana was aghast when I told her that my Namiki Vanishing Point was £50.

The Quotable danja

A superb post from Danny:

In one sense an RDF database isnt a standalone thing at all, its merely a cache for a little bit of the Semantic Web.

That really hammers home the idea that the Semantic Web is one big graph, and we can grab little bits of it at a time. There are no documents, as I sometimes tire of putting in presentations!

Maybe that's the lesson that APIs like URIQA and SPARQL teach us — “forget all about documents, you get the information you ask for”.
