S is for Semantics

SPIN Webcast

No, it isn't an elaborate April Fool's joke.  Tomorrow, TopQuadrant is sponsoring another webcast with Semantic Universe.  The topic of this one is SPIN, a Semantic Web modeling language based on SPARQL and organized like an Object Oriented model.  That actually just scratches the surface - feel free to attend the webinar (registration is free at Semantic Universe) and see demo and details. 

Generation of SPARQL Queries

We produced a webinar a couple weeks back that shows off some of the cool things we can do to help people cope with creating and managing SPARQL queries.  There were some technical difficulties on the day of the webinar itself that were disappointing, but I understand that the recording (linked here) came out well (I can't listen to it - you know how hard it is to listen to your own voice). 

I have shown in particular the query generation stuff live to a few audiences since then - most of them - well, all of them so far - have been pretty excited about it.  I find that even as an experienced SPARQLer, I use the automated generation quite a lot myself.

Review

Okay, this counts as blowing my own horn.  So be it.

SPARQL Webinar

Along with Scott Henninger of TopQuadrant, I will be presenting a webinar as part of the Semantic Universe webinar series called  SPARQL for dynamic business applications.  The webinar will take place on Wednesday, March 11 at 2:00 pm EDT.   We've got some pretty fun stuff we're doing with SPARQL - I hope you enjoy it.
