Its a pleasure to announce the first release of Metatribble, an attempt to implement some of the concepts of semantic annotation that I talked about in a previous post. Metatribble is currently packaged as a Ubiquity command and right now doesn't do an awful lot except for mark up interesting entities with RDFa, but even just that is kinda cool :-)
Last night's Oxford SWiG meeting was interesting and sociable as usual. There were three great presentations - Jeni Tennison on rdfQuery, a jQuery-like Javascript library for parsing, querying and generating RDFa markup; Iain Emsley presented a WP plug-in that creates RDF graphs for blog posts showing a nice use of multiple ontologies; Laurian Gridinoc talked about the plans for PowerMagpie - with lots of ideas for navigation/presentation of large taxonomies and complex ontologies.
If any of you are using NPCL to write your topic map ontologies, you should know that we have just released a new version of the NPCL Schema Editor. Includes MSBuild support, compiling multiple NPCL files into a single file, auto-generated documentation and much much more. Fun for all the family and competitively priced at $0. For more info see the release announcement on the NetworkedPlanet blog.
