La Casa nel ~Mare~Running away from slavery

Now we have FOAF User profiles!
I search for Foaf profiles through Qdos thanks to the hit that swh sent to me while on the #foaf IRC chat…it’s wonderful to be able to talk to such great persons on there!! There’s Wikier who created RDFOhloh and SWAML and Fred Giassons ! who’s working on Umbel! everyone !! it’s exciting ^__^

However now user’s profiles are linked to their foaf data (if any) or to their sioclog data (probably there are more persons using IRC than the ones having a Foaf profile). And then I can start linking Issues!

I have good news about user’s profiles on which I’m working on at the moment. I managed to get some useful info about how much a developer is committed in communicating with others. Thanks to tuukkah’s sioclog I can retrieve, given a nickname (used on IRC channels), the total number of messages sent by an user and on which channels. Also channels are described as linked data, even if it’s not yet possible to identify their dc:subject and then eventually retrieve the total number of messages sent only about computer science topics. However this would be an easy realizable future directions from which Hackystat LiSeD will take advantage as it will be released.
For now having the total numbers of posts and the frequented channels could be enough
All this has been possible thanks to tuukkah who I’ve fortunately met on the #sioc IRC channel and who has been very kind to offer his help for my project’s needings: thanks a lot tuukkah! ^__^ This is an example of the user’s data that he’s providing: http://irc.sioc-project.org/users/tuukkah#user (if you access it with a linked data viewer such as the OpenLink data Explorer mozilla’s add-on, you can view the RDF data source).

Tomorrow I’m going to retrieve also foaf profiles using Sindice.

Every day it’s getting harder to keep studying thanks to a hot temperature and to seeing everyone spending their vacation time and to the Fina World Championships (especially the synchronized swimming of which I’m fond)…however RDFOhloh provides linked data about projects extracted from Ohloh but without providing any way to search over them neither through a Sparql endpoint nor through an URI lookup endpoint. Then I’m going to extract the project ID using the Ohloh API (which indeed allows queries exactly over tags, title and tags associated with projects) and I’ll insert links of the form http://rdfohloh.wikier.org/project/ID/n3 (every project in Ohloh has an ID).

stay freeze (me too… XP )
