&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;cite&gt;&quot;CERN&apos;s decision to make the Web foundations and protocols available on a royalty free basis, and without additional impediments, was crucial to the Web&apos;s existence. Without this commitment, the enormous individual and corporate investment in Web technology simply would never have happened, and we wouldn&apos;t have the Web today.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;

The original announcement says &quot;CERN relinquishes all intellectual property rights to this code, both source and binary form and permission is granted for anyone to use, duplicate, modify and redestribute it.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;

    <title>What are the Benefits of the Semantic Web? A list based on Case Studies</title>
    <link>http://leobard.twoday.net/stories/4882047/</link>
    <description>We need some facts about what the Semantic Web can be used for. The &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/sweo/public/UseCases/&quot;&gt;SWEO case studies&lt;/a&gt; provide a great start, listing deployed corporate Semantic Web applications. I added them up, identifying some key benefits: &lt;b&gt;profit, data integration, querying, and taxonomies&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dfki.uni-kl.de/~sauermann/2008/04/benefits/&quot;&gt;Read my notes.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At ISWC2005, one talk presented a slide about &quot;what are the key reasons to use Semantic Web&quot;. Sadly, I lost the reference and the paper did not list them (do you know which paper this was? It was presented in the industry track).&lt;br /&gt;
Interestingly, there is not much data available about the actual benefits of deploying Semantic Web technology. To create such overviews, we can either do interviews and questionnaires or look at documented case studies.
&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/sweo/public/UseCases/&quot;&gt;Semantic Web Education and Outreach SWEO Interest Group&lt;/a&gt; of the W3C did collect and publish &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/sweo/public/UseCases/&quot;&gt;27 case studies and 10 use cases&lt;/a&gt; (numbers as of 22.4.2008). The case studies report of deployed systems, therefore I concentrate of them. As methodology, I copy/pasted all key benefits into a spreadsheet and mapped them to classifications I made up on the run. I added explanatory text about the categories by copy/pasting statements by the authors. Then I sorted the results, showing the top-named benefits first. One argument from a use case could map to multiple of my categories (i.e. when a benefit touches both a business profit and is about data integration, it will be added to both categories).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dfki.uni-kl.de/~sauermann/2008/04/benefits/&quot;&gt;Read the whole report with the data.&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The correct scientific method to do such study would be to use questionnaires and to check if the statements given by the authors are true, so the scientific value of this note is questionable, but I love controversy.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

    <title>POSCCaesar Semantic Days 2008 Stavanger</title>
    <link>http://leobard.twoday.net/stories/4882026/</link>
    <description>&lt;b&gt;Du er nå på Internett.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I am currently attending the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.posccaesar.com&quot;&gt;Semantic Days 2008&lt;/a&gt; in Stavanger. From the speakers, you recognize it&apos;s a melting pot of Defence (Rear Admiral Morten Jacobsen and Major General Arnvid Løvbukten), Oil&amp;Gas (StatoilHydro, DNV, NOV, Epsis) and Semantic Web. For the last subject, amongst others, Ora Lassila and Ian Horrocks presented. I also fall in the last subject.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/leobard/2436174746/&quot; title=&quot;Presentation Michael Ross, Lockheed Martin by leobard, on Flickr&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2361/2436174746_df2b7d424b_m.jpg&quot; width=&quot;240&quot; height=&quot;160&quot; alt=&quot;Presentation Michael Ross, Lockheed Martin&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The conference is located at Clarion Hotel Stavanger, in the city center. From my room I have a great view of the sourrounding sea and town, but there is not much time to go there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/leobard/2436174822/&quot; title=&quot;Presentation Ian Horrocks by leobard, on Flickr&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2149/2436174822_481d546e6e_m.jpg&quot; width=&quot;240&quot; height=&quot;160&quot; alt=&quot;Presentation Ian Horrocks&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My presentation contains some new data about the use of semantic web technologies, but I will blog that extra, as it deserves some more space.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

In the words of the organizers:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;cite&gt;Semantic Days is an annual conference that has become a meeting place for industrial use of Semantic Web technologies with significant contribution also from research institutions and universities.&lt;/cite&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My talk will be on &lt;i&gt;Semantic Web in use&lt;/i&gt; on the first day.</description>

    <description>For the interested social researcher:&lt;br /&gt;
I let &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.xing.com&quot;&gt;xing.com&lt;/a&gt; check if people from my desktop address book are on xing, and if I am connected with them (a feature that &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.linkedin.com&quot;&gt;linkedin &lt;/a&gt;had before them, I think).

&lt;ul&gt;  
&lt;li&gt;623 contacts in my address book have email addresses and can be compared&lt;/li&gt;  
&lt;li&gt;105 (17%) of them are Xing members&lt;/li&gt;  
&lt;li&gt;I am already connected with 52 (8%) of them&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

Does this say anything scientifically? Hm.... &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
and, you 53 people, expect to get mass-mailed soon...</description>

    <title>Glowing Tape Sculpture for Nowhere2008</title>
    <link>http://leobard.twoday.net/stories/4860242/</link>
    <description>&lt;b&gt;What participatory Art project do you bring into the desert to Nowhere2008 festival? It has to glow, it has to look amazing, it has to be less than 5kg and 5 liter space to fit in the luggage in the airplane?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You have to bring an idea. The idea is combining Led lights with &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.tapesculpture.org/&quot;&gt;TapeSculpture.org&lt;/a&gt;, a form of street art developed and perfected by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.xmarkjenkinsx.com/outside.html&quot;&gt;Mark Jenkins&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The core of the idea is that the ingredients are cheap and can be bought virtually everywhere:
&lt;ul&gt;  
&lt;li&gt;clear packing tape&lt;/li&gt;  
&lt;li&gt;plastic wrap&lt;/li&gt;  
&lt;li&gt;scissors or a knife&lt;/li&gt;  
&lt;li&gt;and an object you&apos;d like to cast&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
Read the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.tapesculpture.org/index.html&quot;&gt;tutorial&lt;/a&gt; or watch the video by Mark Jenkins:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;object width=&quot;425&quot; height=&quot;355&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;movie&quot; value=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/JX7QzfNS3xk&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;wmode&quot; value=&quot;transparent&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/JX7QzfNS3xk&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; wmode=&quot;transparent&quot; width=&quot;425&quot; height=&quot;355&quot;&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An technique that can be easily &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.tapesculpture.org/workshops.html&quot;&gt;tought &lt;/a&gt;and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.tapesculpture.org/gallery.html&quot;&gt;copied&lt;/a&gt;. Excellent. Mash it up with &lt;a href=&quot;graffitiresearchlab.com/?page_id=6&quot;&gt;LED Throwies&lt;/a&gt; (I use AA batteries) and we have lighted art.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Here is my first real piece, the Rabe:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/leobard/2410293459/&quot; title=&quot;crow by leobard, on Flickr&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2215/2410293459_dcbef1d796_m.jpg&quot; width=&quot;160&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; alt=&quot;crow&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Its a great piece of DJ art to give light to your labels:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/leobard/2411092630/&quot; title=&quot;TapeRabe by leobard, on Flickr&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3218/2411092630_ae0084bbea_m.jpg&quot; width=&quot;240&quot; height=&quot;160&quot; alt=&quot;TapeRabe&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And a second one, appearing magically today in Kaiserslautern:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/leobard/2410293819/&quot; title=&quot;arm with heart by leobard, on Flickr&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2219/2410293819_c6bfaee987_m.jpg&quot; width=&quot;160&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; alt=&quot;arm with heart&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</description>

The &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/i&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.i-semantics.at/&quot;&gt;I-Semantics Conference&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
includes a Linking Open Data Triplification Challenge which will award three prizes to the most promising triplifications of existing Web applications, Websites and data sets. The prizes are:
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.apple.com/macbookair/&quot;&gt;MacBook Air&lt;/a&gt; or Euro 1.000 (1st prize)

For the success of the Semantic Web it is from our point of view crucial to overcome the chicken-and-egg problem of missing semantic representations on the Web and the lack of their evaluation by standard search engines. One way to tackle this problem (some might say the only one) is to reveal and expose existing structured (relational) representations, which are already backing most of the existing Web sites. The Triplification challenge aims to expedite this process by raising awareness and showcasing best practices.

    <title>Semantic Search Against Animal Experiments</title>
    <link>http://leobard.twoday.net/stories/4850393/</link>
    <description>Imagine you could avoid an animal experiment if you would find the result of the experiment online? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img align=&quot;right&quot; src=&quot;http://gopubmed2.biotec.tu-dresden.de/go3r/go3r/Help/Images/Ratte.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;the experiment rat&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Press Release/&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.transinsight.com/&quot;&gt;Transinsight&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;cite&gt; the knowledge-based semantic search engine &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.go3r.org/&quot;&gt;www.Go3R.org&lt;/a&gt; is now available online. It enables information transparency for the prevention of animal testing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In only four months development time, Transinsight from Dresden, Germany, succeeded in making available online Go3R, the worldwide first knowledge-based search engine for alternative methods to animal experiments. Via www.Go3R.org, scientists from all over the world can take advantage of the benefits of semantic searches for the area of alternative methods in accordance with the 3Rs principle. The Search engine can from now on used as Beta version.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The so-called 3Rs principle developed by Russell and Burch in 1959 stands for Replacement, Reduction and Refinement. It describes scientific methods that can either replace animal experiments, or reduce animal numbers or refine the suffering of the animals during the procedures. In the European Union, compliance with the 3Rs principle is legally required. In accordance with the EU Laboratory Animal Directive, just as with the German Animal Welfare Act, animal experiments may only be performed if the scientific goal pursued cannot be achieved by any other means, i.e. in totally non-animal procedures, or in methods using fewer animals or entailing less animal suffering.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In practice, however, this legal requirement oftentimes is not met, because the scientists and the responsible authorities are unaware of 3Rs alternatives that would exist to the respective foreseen animal experiment. Queries for alternative methods are time consuming and cumbersome, and this situation has possibly even become worse in the era of the internet. Additionally, at the end of a search, it remains unclear whether all relevant information sought for was indeed retrieved. This is where the search engine Go3R sets in.&lt;/cite&gt;</description>

    <title>Bandholz: Cool URIs in a RESTful World</title>

    <description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bandholtz.eu/index_en&quot;&gt;Thomas Bandholtz&lt;/a&gt; blogs about &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.infoq.com/news/2008/04/cool-uris-rest&quot;&gt;cool-URIs in a RESTful World&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
He summarized literature about URIs, SOA, and REST into something combined:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;cite&gt;RESTful SOA may argue that this mainly fits for a provision of fix document files. A dynamic SOA server can easily implement this &quot;generic&quot; URI concept without any redirection, just by rendering the content in the requested format on demand. This view satisfies content provision, while the redirection architecture better supports linkage and reference. It also leverages resource management and governance, be it in the Semantic Web, or in RESTful SOA. And may be these two application areas are not so distinct from each other.&lt;/cite&gt;</description>

    <title>CHI2008 surprise: Video Browsing by Direct Manipulation</title>
    <link>http://leobard.twoday.net/stories/4844940/</link>
    <description>&lt;b&gt;If you look at one paper from the &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.chi2008.org/&quot;&gt;CHI2008&lt;/a&gt; conference, look at &quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.chi2008.org/ap/69.html&quot;&gt;Video Browsing by Direct Manipulation&lt;/a&gt;&quot;. The conference is the place where innovation in computer-human interaction is presented each year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Video and more documentation available at&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.aviz.fr/dimp/&quot;&gt;http://www.aviz.fr/dimp/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A small video is available here:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dgp.toronto.edu/~bonzo/index.html&quot;&gt;http://www.dgp.toronto.edu/~bonzo/index.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The idea of this system was developed by four groups in parallel, without being aware of each other (in the beginning) ... the other paper was &quot;DRAGON: A Direct Manipulation Interface for Frame-Accurate In-Scene Video Navigation&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Abstract:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;cite&gt;We present a method for browsing videos by directly dragging their content. This method brings the benefits of direct manipulation to an activity typically mediated by widgets. We show that this method can out-perform the traditional seeker bar in video browsing tasks that focus on visual content rather than time.&lt;/cite&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strike&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
I wish they would put the system demo video on youtube. I have both the paper and the video on the proceedings, but its up to the authors to publish this.&lt;/strike&gt; - just saw the project homepage</description>

    <title>Cooler URIs for the Semantic Web</title>
    <link>http://leobard.twoday.net/stories/4830214/</link>
    <description>&lt;b&gt;Get to know how cool URIs can be, for the Semantic Web.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.w3.org&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.w3.org/Icons/w3c_home&quot; alt=&quot;W3C logo&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Everything needs to be identified, being it a person, a web document, an image, or a mythical unicorn. The &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.w3.org/2001/sw&quot;&gt;Semantic Web&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.w3.org/RDF/&quot;&gt;RDF&lt;/a&gt; are based on the assumption to identify them all using URIs. But these need to be cool, so read &quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.w3.org/TR/cooluris/&quot;&gt;Cool URIs for the Semantic Web&lt;/a&gt;&quot; which was published on 31.3.2008 as a W3C Working Group Note.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.w3.org/TR/cooluris/&quot;&gt;http://www.w3.org/TR/cooluris/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.w3.org/News/2008#item58&quot;&gt;official statement&lt;/a&gt; is:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;cite&gt;2008-04-01: The &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/sweo/&quot;&gt;Semantic Web Education and Outreach (SWEO) Interest Group&lt;/a&gt; has published an Interest Group Note &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/NOTE-cooluris-20080331/&quot;&gt;Cool URIs for the Semantic Web&lt;/a&gt;. The Resource Description Framework (RDF) allows users to describe both Web documents and concepts from the real world people, organizations, topics, things in a computer-processable way. Publishing such descriptions on the Web creates the Semantic Web. URIs (Uniform Resource Identifiers) are very important to the Semantic Web, providing both the core of the framework itself and the link between RDF and the Web. This document presents guidelines for the effective use of URIs in the context of the Semantic Web.&lt;/cite&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The note was edited by &lt;a href=&quot;http://dowhatimean.net/&quot;&gt;Richard Cyganiak&lt;/a&gt; and myself, and it took us from &lt;b&gt;November 2006&lt;/b&gt; (&lt;a href=&quot;http://iswc2006.semanticweb.org/&quot;&gt;ISWC&lt;/a&gt;, where we had the idea to write it) until yesterday, the 31st March 2008 to finally finish it. &lt;a href=&quot;http://xam.de&quot;&gt;Max Völkel&lt;/a&gt; was also with us at the beginning and helped us to stay motivated. I am happy about this event - we have finished it! &lt;i&gt;Excellent&lt;/i&gt;! &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Horray&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Read some comments from reviewers that also made us happy:
&lt;ul&gt;  
&lt;li&gt;&quot;... &lt;b&gt;I think this is quite an important note&lt;/b&gt;...&quot; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.w3.org/mid/47ED2D68.90009@ibiblio.org&quot;&gt;Harry Halpin&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;  
&lt;li&gt;&quot;... &lt;b&gt;I thought it was good before, but now it&apos;s excellent!&lt;/b&gt;...&quot;  &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.w3.org/mid/47EE7BEB.3070809@dfki.de&quot;&gt;Susie Stephens&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;  
&lt;li&gt;&quot;&lt;b&gt;I think this is an important document. It contains a large amount of very valuable material,&lt;/b&gt; ... &quot; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.w3.org/mid/A638B161-C182-4E93-B956-3B5A8332BB19@w3.org&quot;&gt;Tim Berners-Lee&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;  
&lt;li&gt;&quot;... a few places which are &lt;b&gt;confusing&lt;/b&gt;, and a small number places which are, I believe, actively &lt;b&gt;misleading&lt;/b&gt;. There are also one or two places where I &lt;b&gt;disagree&lt;/b&gt; about the recommendation it makes. On the whole, though, the document is important and I hope energy is found to incorporate these comments. &quot; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.w3.org/mid/A638B161-C182-4E93-B956-3B5A8332BB19@w3.org&quot;&gt;Tim Berners-Lee&lt;/a&gt;, about an earlier draft. &lt;b&gt;And all these issues have been answered, Horray! :-)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

Alltogether, we had a hard work to get it right and there have been some last minute changes on 20th March 2008 incorporating much feedback from the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/&quot;&gt;W3C Technical Architecture Group&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many thanks to Tim Berners-Lee who invested much time and helped us understanding the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/&quot;&gt;TAG&lt;/a&gt; solution by answering &lt;a href=&quot;http://chatlogs.planetrdf.com/swig/2006-10-29#T17-42-28&quot;&gt;chat requests&lt;/a&gt; and contributing many emails with clarifications and detailled reviews of this document. Special thanks go to Stuart Williams, Norman Walsh and all the other members from TAG, who reviewed this document and provided essential feedback in &lt;a href=&quot;http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2007Jun/0075.html&quot;&gt;June 2007&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2007Sep/0090.html&quot;&gt;September 2007&lt;/a&gt; about many formulations that were (accidentially) contrary to the TAG&apos;s view. Also special thanks to the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.w3.org/2006/07/SWD/&quot;&gt;Semantic Web Deployment Group&lt;/a&gt;&#39;s members Michael Hausenblas, Vit Novacek, and Ed Summers&#39; reviews and their review summary sent in &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.w3.org/2006/07/SWD/wiki/ReviewCoolURIs&quot;&gt;October 2007&lt;/a&gt;.

    <description>&lt;b&gt;On thursday I stumbled into the relaunch party of &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.transformingfreedom.org&quot;&gt;transformingfreedom.org&lt;/a&gt;. The site aims to provide essential information about our age, using the tools of our age.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/leobard/2351356131/&quot; title=&quot;Michael glowing by leobard, on Flickr&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2086/2351356131_9b0bb67e6d_m.jpg&quot; width=&quot;240&quot; height=&quot;160&quot; alt=&quot;Michael glowing&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Andreas Leo Findeisen is one of the founders of the platform and we had a great time chatting, showing off technostuff, and drinking beer. Accidentially, most of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.monochrom.at&quot;&gt;monochrom.at&lt;/a&gt; were also there and somebody put on a screening of Kubrick&apos;s 2001. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A typical content of transforming freedom is this Stallman speech:&lt;br /&gt;

    <title>Cool URIs Article - last call</title>
    <link>http://leobard.twoday.net/stories/4805112/</link>
    <description>&lt;b&gt;We opened the last call for comments on &quot;Cool URIs for the Semantic Web&quot; before publishing as note.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.w3.org/Icons/w3c_home&quot; alt=&quot;w3c logo&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.w3.org/News/2008#item48&quot;&gt;Published yesterday as W3C news&lt;/a&gt;, we have changed and finalised the document. You can read the draft in &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/WD-cooluris-20080321/&quot;&gt;this version&lt;/a&gt; and send comments to &lt;a href=&quot;mailto:public-sweo-ig@w3.org&quot;&gt;public-sweo-ig@w3.org&lt;/a&gt; until 28th March, but I would prefer to get feedback before. Together with Richard Cyganiak, I am editor of this article (and we have been working on it now for over 14 months, since ISWC 2006). The document is, in the eyes of the editors and contributors, finished. Therefore comments about typos, stilistic errors, bugs are welcome, whereas comments of the kind &quot;but in general HTTP URIs are bad&quot; are out of scope to be answered now. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;cite&gt;2008-03-21: The Semantic Web Education and Outreach (SWEO) Interest Group has published the Last Call Working Draft of Cool URIs for the Semantic Web. The Resource Description Framework (RDF) allows users to describe both Web documents and concepts from the real world  people, organizations, topics, things  in a computer-processable way. Publishing such descriptions on the Web creates the Semantic Web. URIs (Uniform Resource Identifiers) are very important to the Semantic Web, providing both the core of the framework itself and the link between RDF and the Web. This document presents guidelines for the effective use of URIs in the context of the Semantic Web. Comments are welcome through 28 March. Learn more about the Semantic Web Activity.&lt;/cite&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In general, the document will help you to understand basic ideas about URIs on the Semantic Web and how to tweak HTTP servers to serve useful URIs to identify mythical unicorns and other important things such as people or products. Some paragraphs, like the ones in the Section on &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/WD-cooluris-20080321/#distinguishing&quot;&gt;distinguishing&lt;/a&gt; have been editor over and over again, until sounding a little weird at the end. Next week, we got a final, looking forward to having this problem solved and described nicely from now on.</description>

    <description>... someone even thinks about victimizing the whole of Austria regarding the Third Reich. A great piece of historical ranting, Leo. The statement by Habsburg reminds me of the &quot;official&quot; view of the German Democratic Republic on the Nazis. In short (and of course totally over-generalizing): There was a small minority of people in Germany which did all the bad stuff like waging war, imprisoning and torturing Jews, homosexual people, communists etc. The majority of the German people were more or less described as a suppressed bunch who often had no other choice than to follow the cruel minority.</description>

    <title>Some note on Austrian History</title>
    <link>http://leobard.twoday.net/stories/4793084/</link>
    <description>&lt;b&gt;I am from Austria, and have to blog about some particularity in Austrian history, the &quot;Anschluss&quot;.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The reason to blog, and also to do it in English, is  a fatal quote by some elderly politician. On the 12th March 1938, 50 years ago, German troops marched into Austria and connected both countries to form the nucleus of the Third Reich. This is widely known and documented as &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anschluss&quot;&gt;&quot;der Anschluss&quot;&lt;/a&gt; (German term for &quot;the connect&quot;). This marks a dark day in Austrian history, reminded in many public rituals in the last week.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As part of a longer speech at a ÖVP meeting (the Christian-Democrat &quot;conservative/republican&quot; party in Austria), &lt;b&gt;Otto Habsburg said: &quot;kein Staat war größeres Opfer als Österreich&quot;. Which translates to &quot;no country was a greater victim than Austria&quot;&lt;/b&gt;. This caused outcry in liberal/left parties &lt;a href=&quot;http://derstandard.at/?url=/?id=3260478&quot;&gt;and medi&lt;/a&gt;a in Austria, and I would guess also international reactions (if anybody noticed). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the conservative audience, many giggles followed on some parts of the speech - making me speech-less. Here &lt;a href=&quot;http://derstandard.at/?url=/?id=3258746&quot;&gt;an article with a picture&lt;/a&gt; of our smiling ex-chancellor &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolfgang_Sch%C3%BCssel&quot;&gt;Wolfgang Schüssel&lt;/a&gt; and Otto Habsburg. You don&apos;t fucking smile when you hear this bullshit, you leave the room. To his remedy, the article says that Mr Schüssel intervened and corrected the sayings of Habsburg (so much for inviting the &lt;i&gt;right&lt;/i&gt; keynote speaker to your anti-nazi commemoration).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From what I know, shortly after the war Austria positioned itself as &quot;first victim of Hitler&quot;, to get rid of the scent of failure attached to losing the 2nd WW. Since then, this question is publicly discussed. The question is: did Hitler occupy Austria and the inhabitants were victims or was he warmly welcome and Austria was well-nazified already. Nobody can surely know, but some facts are historically known. &lt;b&gt;Within a few weeks after the Anschluss, 70.000 people were imprisoned and a systematic, institutional, and coordinated suffering was imposed on Jews, Homosexuals, Left-Wing politicians, Communists, ...&lt;/b&gt; . This was well prepared before, you need to have collected these names beforehand, it needs organisation and preparation. Within hours after the Anschluss, vandalism on Jewish property happened. It is hard to believe that Germans did this vandalism nor collected the names of &quot;enemies of the state&quot;, it can be assumed that Austrians did this, with the clear goal to steal some of this property their Jewish neighbours had worked hard for.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It marked the beginning of the holocaust and the role of the Austrian population was both victim, as the Jews and Left-Wings were Austrians, and agitators. Many had been forced to collaborate with the regime under the pressure of loss of life, property, and liberty, but surely not everyone had to be forced to collaborate. Austria was not &quot;a little victim&quot; or &quot;the Jews were Austrian victims&quot;, many people were attracted by Hitler or did not circumvent what happened. Objectively, it can never be known, but surely calling &quot;Austria&quot; a victim is far than politically uncorrect.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Personally, I hate it because many creative people, inventors, scientists, artists, queers, and freaks, were either killed or driven out of the country in the following years. And I hate the small-mindedness of some people who defend their ancestor&apos;s sins as being right until today. (End of historical ramble, go on reading slashdot now folks)</description>

    <title>Do Animals get Goosebumps because of terrorists?</title>
    <link>http://leobard.twoday.net/stories/4792452/</link>
    <description>&lt;b&gt;The masses lost their instincts, and may have more fear from terrorists than cancer.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.susannahertrich.com/html/humansanimals.html&quot;&gt;How much are we animals? &lt;/a&gt;Susanna Hertrich has a project on this topic:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;cite&gt;This project picks on how much today&apos;s people have detached themselves from their original animal inheritance. &lt;br /&gt;
...&lt;br /&gt;
It is said that no other generation before has been as anxious and risk aware as ours. Other than animals, we aren&apos;t equipped for the challenges of contemporary living. We don&apos;t have the abilities to identify the real dangers in a surplus of potential threats and horror scenarios offered to us by mass media. &lt;/cite&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;http://tartley.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/0aelecrtromshjoi9.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt; (photo shamelessly linked from Jonathan)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jonathan Hartley (whom I met two weeks ago in Krakow) &lt;a href=&quot;http://tartley.com/?p=284&quot;&gt;blogged about it  from a different perspective&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;cite&gt;Susanna Hertrich has an art / thesis project to artificially stimulate peoples threat perceptions (by giving them goosebumps, or making hairs stand on end) in response to actual threats, as opposed to perceived ones. Its a topic that Im unnaturally preoccupied with, since the most egregious examples of the disparity between the two seem to intrude on my life every day. My opinions about whether any given threat is real or illusiory seem to differ from almost everyone, but Im going to stubbornly cling to the idea that everyone else is crazy. Take the entry on terrorist attack as an example (see diagram.) Public reactions to the topic remind me of nothing so much as a stirred-up ants nest, a psychotic, ineffectual frenzy.&lt;/cite&gt;</description>

    <title>stagedive from 1st floor</title>
    <link>http://leobard.twoday.net/stories/4773342/</link>
    <description>&lt;b&gt;Hey, we were at the &quot;Sportfreunde Stiller&quot; concert on 28.2.2008 in Kaiserslautern, and their frontman dived from about 4-5meter height into the crowd.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
What you see here is frontman/singer Peter from &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sportfreunde-stiller.de/&quot;&gt;Sportfreunde Stiller&lt;/a&gt; doing a crazy stagedive from the first floor of the concert hall. Before, he surfed the crowd and climbed up there. ROCK! Sport!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The concert was in Kammgarn in Kaiserslautern, more information in &lt;a href=&quot;http://cestmauvaisca.de/?p=188&quot;&gt;Martin Memmel&apos;s blogpost&lt;/a&gt;.</description>
