[okfn-discuss] [Ann] Triplify / LOD Triplification Challenge

Sat Apr 12 03:59:12 UTC 2008

Hi all,

In order to get more explicit data, information and knowledge on the
Web, we recently released Triplify, a small plugin for database backed
Web applications, which publishes structured relational data on the Web
as Linked Data, RDF and JSON. Triplify uses CC for adding licensing
meta-data to these "semantic feeds". You can find more information about
Triplify (and download the latest version) at:

http://Triplify.org

In order to expedite the process of transforming the document Web into a
*queryable Web of Data* we are organizing a Linking Open Data
Triplification Challenge together with this years I-Semantics conference
[1]. The challenge awards *attractive prices* (MacBook Air, EeePC, iPod)
to the most innovative and promising semantifications.

More Information about the challenge can be found at:

http://triplify.org/Challenge

I would be very excited if you support this effort - e.g. by spreading
the word and/or submitting to the challenge.

Best,

Sören
