Having created RDF summaries for each Movable Type entry, I wanted a way to add extra triples to that RDF. For a first go, it seems reasonable to make any triple that can be added to an entry have that entry as its subject, so I used a shorthand (no subject, namespace-abbreviated) syntax inspired by N-Triples and wrote an MT global filter plugin (src) to transform it into RDF/XML.

I’m collating writings about my various hacks and projects in a Movable Type system, but hopefully without actually creating a blog as such. I’d rather generate ad-hoc navigation based on the categories of the items, so creating RDF-based sitemaps seems like a good idea.

I felt it was time to learn a bit more about SVG and do some concrete work with it. I made a fairly simple SVG document that renders picdiary feeds. It parses the RSS and builds the page on the client-side using Jim Ley’s lovely javascript rdf parser.
Compare the HTML version to the SVG version. There’s nothing in the SVG version that couldn’t be rendered in HTML; the interest was in doing the job entirely client-side.

A mail sent to RSS-DEV about work in progress on picdiary and its use of RSS for cataloguing photos.

A browseable hierachy of pictures organised by the hierarchy of the wordnet terms depicted in them. Start browsing at Artifact or look at the RSS backend.

This search engine uses wordnet to find synonyms of search terms, and hypernyms of marked-up keywords. So a search for skyscraper finds one picture and a search for structure finds the skyscraper and a load of other pictures too.

As with the ruby rdf parser, this runs XSLT over your RDF/XML to make ntriples then parses those. It spits out mysql insert statements ready for querying with my rdf sql query stuff.

A simple algorithm for translating rdfdb-style queries into SQL to query a triple store with a very simple schema. A perl and a PHP implementation is provided.

A mail sent to www-rdf-interest after attempting to embed XMP metadata in JPEGs.
(It turns out my code doesn’t do the jpeg embedding quite right. It looks like the JPEG-XMP package will do it correctly.)
