[the-datatank] Demo at Datalift

Wed Oct 10 08:32:54 UTC 2012

Hi Jan,

Miel is sitting next to me :)

With Datalift you can do both, link it to existing ontologies or
create your own, but their user interface is not that advanced yet. If
you really want to understand what it does just download it and run
the executable/.sh-file. It's set-up in 5 minutes tops.

There are however still some flaws that really need to be fixed with
Datalift: better URIs, bugs with importing files with similar names,
better error messages and so on, but I have been promised that these
things will be fixed in the next months.

Kind regards,

Pieter
