You know, one of those people who has a “Semantic Web” category on their weblog. This will be a Geek Purity Test question someday. Onward: - _Phil Ringnalda_: Fun with RDF[1]. “RDF can actually be fun, as long as you don't foolishly invest too much ego in trying to store RSS 1.0, or wander off into flame wars.” From which we find: - _Shelley Powers_: The RDF Query-O-Matic[2], and The RDF Query-O-Matic explained[3]. “The Query-o-Matic accepts the name of an RDF file (any valid RDF file), and an RDFQL (RDF Query Language) query, and will print out a test value found as a result of that query.” - _Marcus Campbell_: “My FOAF autocreation script is moving along nicely [4]. It's now looping through my OPML blogroll file, checking the first load of bites in people's pages for head linked FOAF files, grabbing certain elements from these files (if they have one) and spitting them out into a brand new FOAF file for me.” - _Joe Gregorio_: The Well-Formed Web[5]. “After spending some time badgering poor Bill Kearney for a concrete benefit of having RDF in RSS 1.0 and not getting a really satisfactory answer I went back and read Paul Ford's essay again. I wanted to get that old religious feeling back again. It didn't work. The magic was gone.” [1] http://philringnalda.com/archives/002336.php [2] http://weblob.burningbird.net/services/query.htm [3] http://weblog.burningbird.net/archives/000564.php [4] http://www.ninjakitten.net/digiboy/2002_09.php#post000545 [5] http://bitworking.org/wellformed.html
