Some snappy explanation.
- Use URIs to identify things
- Use HTTP URIs so that people can locate and look up these things
- Provide useful information about the thing when it's looked up
- Include links to other, related things in the exposed data as a means of improving information discovery on the Web
RDFTree ‘Crowley’ release
A very buggy & crufty desktop Java-based RDF editor extracted from an old on-pause project (coolest URIs for that are on the Internet Archive at IdeaGraph m’fraid). There’s a photo on Flickr of it looking at it’s best. It also includes half-baked source editing.
I did have it in svn, but for some reason that’s fallen over so it seemed a good opportunity to try out a DVCS. But after spending way too many hours mucking about with Apache config (for Mercurial) I gave up and dumped the lot in a tarball : rdftree.tar.gz
It’ll need a bit of fiddling to get running, but some familiarity with ant should sort that.
I’ve not yet figured out a proper todo list for it, but there are some really obvious bugs, and little bits of functionality that would make it a lot more useful (e.g. pluggable connectors to external stores - in particular I could really use something like this for checking data in store on the Talis Platform. Having a clean RDF tree/table component should be a nice side effect - again see Flickr
To fix it up will need a bit of Swing hoodoo and a passing acquaintance with Jena.
Bounty!
As this is something I want for my own use, I’ll be more than happy to provide anyone that gets the thing shipshape some token pressie - book, CD, DVD (within reason) or even a t-shirt.
In case you hadn’t guessed, the ‘Crowley’ bit is inspired by “Do what thou wilt…”

[…] a fine suggestion from MrJ1971, I’ve uploaded the code I mentioned yesterday to Google Groups svn. To grab it just do: svn checkout http://rdftree.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ […]
