<p class="entry-content"><div><p>There's been a flurry of nice little semweb services appearing recently - e.g. <a href="http://triplr.org">triplr</a> ( <em>stuff in, triples out</em>), <a href="http://www.sindice.com">sindice</a> ( <em>Semantic Web resource lookup</em>), <a href="http://pingthesemanticweb.com/">pingthesemanticweb</a> ( <em>pingable RDF repository</em> - ok, not that recent). PS. Gunnar reminds me about <a href="http://dev.uriqr.com/">uriqr</a> ( <em>find URIs of things labelled or named...</em>) - sorry Tom! <br></br></p> <p>They all only aim to do pretty much one thing (and appear to do it well). What's really appealing about these mini-services is they make ideal components for gluing together and/or extending with/into other services.</p> <p>Case in point is <a href="http://sw.joanneum.at/sid/start.php">SID</a>, from <a href="http://www.sw-app.org/">Michael Hausenblas</a> :</p> <blockquote> <p>How many times have you already signed up for a site? How many Wiki user pages have you got? You got a blog? A Web 1.0 website? There are so many web pages out there that basically have one thing in common: they tell things about you. One could talk about different aspects of a 'thing' - a thing that happens to be you ;)</p> <p>So, here comes SID into play. SID is the Social (or Semantic) ID, hence allows finding, and publishing your many identities on the Web. <br></br>Technically, what SID does is looking up resources at <a href="http://www.sindice.com">sindice.com</a>...</p> </blockquote> <p>After putting in your own URI (remember, <a href="http://dig.csail.mit.edu/breadcrumbs/node/71">Give yourself a URI</a>), you get to choose the equivalents - for owl:sameAs - and then get presented with that data expressed as <a href="http://www.w3.org/2006/07/SWD/RDFa/">RDFa</a> displayed as a sweet little button ( <em>which presumably will be readable by</em> <em> <a href="http://triplr.org">triplr</a> then eatable by <a href="http://pingthesemanticweb.com/">pingthesemanticweb</a></em> ). Nifty.</p> <p>btw, if you've not seen it yet, the <a href="http://browser.zitgist.com:8890/">Zitgist RDF Browser</a> (prerelease) is looking mighty promising.</p> <p> <em>Bonus points to anyone in the uk that remembers the "Tell Sid" campaign...</em> </p>@en </div></p>
