- hello there, my name's Anthony Bryan. I've developed something I think the people at DIG might be interested in, something for semantic information for downloads. there's more info at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metalink or I can tell you about it if you'd like to know more.

- ooops
- 20:13:43 [timbl]
- I wonder whether twnj's stuff is in RDF
- 20:14:01 [twanj_]
- no, there's no RDF - sorry
- 20:14:18 [twanj_]
- I am interested in improving things tho, so if you think that would be a good move...
- 20:15:24 [twanj_]
- right now you can filter download by location, language, or operating system of the files (if that info is there)
- 20:16:40 [twanj_]
- it also lists multiple mirrors and p2p sources, for higher availability. and theres chunk and full file checksums for fixing downloads in progress and verifying them when done
- 20:23:37 [timbl]
- I'm interested in the producers and user of infomation being independent, o you have to use a standard.
- 20:23:52 [twanj_]
- it's a simple XML format, so I think RDF could be used easily tho. it was hard convincing people to try it out, but I think around 17 programs support it now, and sites like OpenOffice.org, opensuse, and curl
- 20:24:02 [timbl]
- I f you produce some interesting info and consume it, that's not sem web till you share it
- 20:24:50 [timbl]
- DanC, Ian is getting "ImportError: No module named xpath"
- 20:32:28 [twanj_]
- yes, the files are pretty easy to create & share. there's a GUI tool for making them and a site for creating/sharing them
- 20:33:23 [timbl]
- If you make an RDF ontology it could connect with DOAP.
- 20:33:46 [timbl]
- By th way, its probably best to discuss this in #swig, semantic web interest group
- 20:34:06 [timbl]
- Folks ther can help you convert XML to RDF for example
- 20:34:18 [timbl]
- This is just out group at cSAIL
- 20:35:54 [twanj_]
- thanks for the direction, I'll head there. just seemed like something dig might be interested from the page
- 20:42:19 [timbl]
- Are you at MIT?
- 20:45:36 [twanj_]
- no, I can't get any of my local professors interested either. heh
