I’m trying to build a website using best linked-data practice.<\/p>\n
This means providing RDF info about each resource described on the site (easy with a SQL DB backend), plus also providing sameas information to join our information to 3rd party sites like dbpedia.<\/p>\n
Problem is finding a persons URI. I’m having to do websearches, which wastes my time and makes the job less likely to happen. Pages should make it easy to get to the URI of a person, event, conference or other resource you want to be linked up. If you don’t, we won’t bother sameas’ing you!<\/p>\n
ECS has provided an RDF link in the page which makes it easy to get to both the RDF & the URI’s. Without this, how the hell do you expect people to find the URI to link it in the first place!?!<\/p>\n
On our database driven people pages for ECS, the RDF button on the left side of http:\/\/www.ecs.soton.ac.uk\/people\/cjg <\/a>takes you to http:\/\/www.ecs.soton.ac.uk\/people\/cjg\/rdf<\/a> which tells you my URI, the URI of my role in the school and the links to the RDF.<\/p>\n We also put the URI & RDF links on projects pages: http:\/\/www.ecs.soton.ac.uk\/research\/projects\/42<\/a><\/p>\n As a result of this annoyance, I’ve asked our webmaster to add the URI’s directly to the list of contact details along with email, homepage, phone etc.!<\/p>\n UPDATE: @das05r<\/a> suggests “semantic radar” for Firefox and http:\/\/sig.ma\/<\/a> which is all very well, but I want to do this with mimimum work. I want the URI right there one the conference homepage, not to be forced to use special tools to find it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’m trying to build a website using best linked-data practice.
