Fabl - A Native Programming Language for the Semantic Web
http://fabl.net/

Fabl (pronounced "fable") is a native programming language for the Semantic Web. The Fabl object model is the RDF property graph, and the Fabl type system implements a subset of the OWL web ontology language (RDF is the W3C standard data representation for the current generation of Semantic Web technology, while OWL is a W3C standard for describing classes of RDF objects). However, this manual does not assume prior familiarity with RDF, OWL, or other Semantic Web technologies. Learning Fabl is one way of learning about the Semantic Web. Fabl programs themselves are represented as Semantic Web objects. This representation of computation within the Semantic Web allows active content to be integrated seamlessly into RDF repositories, and provides a programming environment which simplifies the manipulation of RDF when compared to use of a conventional language via an API. Fabl programs may be expressed as RDF objects using standard RDF syntax, or via a conventional syntax which might be described as Javascript (or its standardized variant ECMAScript) enhanced with types and qualified property names. The language is designed to be easy to learn for programmers familiar with the conventional JavaScript/HTML/XML/DOM web–programming model. In fact, this alternative syntax allows programmers to create and manipulate RDF objects without needing to learn the XML-based RDF syntax - a syntax that can be difficult to master. This has been added to the Semantic Web Research section of Deep Web Research Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.

Oracle 9i is a native XML database


Oracle 9i is a native XML database 06/27/2002 02:08 AM
At this point I have to say there's little reason for products like Software AG Tamino to exist anymore. Even if there is some speed advantage to Tamino and brethren, it's simply lacking in almost every other regard. This is especially damning given that Tamino and brethren will cost more for most simple implementations. There's plenty of room for native XML databases to play in smaller apps and for apps requiring DTDs, but when it comes to large corporate repositories of data, there's really no reason now to go away from the existing relational databases. I expect IBM and Microsoft to be coming out with products of similar power in the near future. -- Kimbro Staken

RSS native parsing in the next Firebird


RSS native parsing in the next Firebird 02/10/2004 02:42 AM

This is new to me. I was checking out the nightly builds of Firebird 0.8 betas (windows and linux, mac< /a>) and they' ve got an rss button and panel that parses RSS, with titles linking to the main window. Slick, but they need to let you track which ones have new/old items.

update: It turns out I'm actually a dumbass. I installed this RSS extension so long ago I forgot about it, and because I never saw it show up in any menu, I figured it never "took" on my Firebird install. Then when I had the new nightly build the toolbars were out of whack on first run so I went to customize them and saw the RSS button for the first time, and assumed it came with Firebird 0.8. My bad.

Sony May Support Native MP3 (What Took

09/22/2004 04:23 PM

Oh ho! Sony, who I had already pretty much counted out of the portable music game, has just stepped back up to the plate with the announcement (which makes for really boring baseball, really) that they will be supporting MP3 on their players, starting with flash players and going from there. That's the good news. The bad news is that their plans aren't official yet, so they could still drop the ball if they aren't careful. Oh, and there's nothing saying that the existing product line - on which millions of dollars worth of marketing and distribution have been slathered - will be able to be upgraded to support native MP3 playback.

Figure it out, Sony! And hurry!

Talis Moving Towards Native RSS Feeds,

Talis Moving Towards Native RSS Feeds,
Too?
02/01/2005 10:10 PM

Last week, Paul Miller left a comment on this site saying that Talis, an ILS vendor in the U.K., had blogged some ideas about RSS in the catalog. I meant to get back to it, but didn't until today when I also saw a link to Talis RSS Feed via del.icio.us/rss.

So first of all, blogged?? An ILS vendor is blogging?? Heck, yeah. Check out Panlibus here! The RSS post is titled RSS Is Not Just Another TLA, and it includes a discussion about patron data feeds. Go and score, Talis!

Even better, it's an interesting blog, comprised of musings and reflections by Talis staff. They even blogged last week's ALA Midwinter conference. I'm subscribed (feed here)!

When you're done there, check out their explanation of RSS, which is where you'll also find a link to their company RSS feed! There's even an RSS heart and an easy-to-find link to the feed on their home page! Goal-o!

All of which has to make you think that they're on the verge of offering native RSS feeds out of the catalog. That would make two vendors, and I've now heard about two others that are working on it. If just those four vendors go live with feeds this year, I think we'll have an official tipping point!

The National Museum of the American Indian opened on Tuesday. Although generally praised, the occasion did draw some mild concern that some groups are under-represented. The museum occupies one of the last few coveted spots on the National Mall. Washington Post collumnist Courtland Milloy comments on the contrast between the opening ceremonies for the museum in the home of the 'Redskins'. And I can't resist throwing in a plug for The Eiteljorg (flash splash screen) which is the only other museum with a partnership with the Smithsonian collection.

Justine Cooper's photos of the American

Justine Cooper's photos of the American
Museum of Natural History
06/05/2005 11:42 PM
David Pescovitz: Justine Cooper was the first artist-in-residence at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City. During her residency, she explored the back passageways, storage rooms, and specimen cases where the majority of the museum's collection is stored. Cooper documented what she saw using a wood 4x5 view camera from 1910. Her huge photographs are a stunning testament to the wonder and oddity of nature as we collect it. Cooper's show, Saved By Science, at the Kashya Hildebrand gallery in New York closed today, but much of the work can be viewed online. (Seen here: Trophies | 30" x 39") From the press release and artist statement:
 Newyork Images Cooper Large Cooper014 Sheer optical exuberance surfaces from a set of Graphium sarpedon butterflies. In the Victorian attic a group of donated ex-Barnum & Bailey, Ringling Brothers Circus seals, swathed in plastic wrap, await their departure to climate-controlled storage. The 21st century liquid nitrogen cooled frozen tissue collection holds a million specimens in a room the size of a studio apartment. Immense corridors of locked steel storage cabinets most powerfully express the veil of structure dropped over the complexity of nature...

The photographs present the stored collections as both an evolution of the collecting and storing process, and as an historical and contemporary perspective on how we systematize and assign value to nature.

An excellent article by George Soros, The bubble of American supremacy, on why the world is not supporting Bush's war to remove the tyrant Saddam Hussein. "The problem is that the world is allergic to the Bush doctrine ...(1) The United States will do everything in its power to maintain its unquestioned military supremacy; and (2) the United States arrogates the right to preemptive action. ... the Bush doctrine is not stated starkly; it is buried in Orwellian doublespeak. The doublespeak is needed because the doctrine contradicts American values. " Very highly recommended. Via Dave Farber's IP list....

The realistic training that these forces provide is what has turned the American Army into one of the most powerful militaries in the world. We are closing down the Army's best schools and sending the teachers to Iraq? This is robbing our Army's future in order to put a band-aid over a gaping wound. I can't believe that so-called conservatives on the Armed Services Committee are letting this happen without protest. I can't believe the Army is letting this happen. Where are the defenders of America's soldiers?...

GEORGE BUSH:
BIG BROTHER, BIG SPENDER, ENDANGERER OF
AMERICAN LIVES


GEORGE BUSH:
BIG BROTHER, BIG SPENDER, ENDANGERER OF
AMERICAN LIVES
06/27/2004 01:00 PM
NIIP
It seems hardly a week goes by without another astounding revelation of the Bush Regime's agenda to intervene without limit into the lives of Americans, and everyone in the world, to further its right-wing, psychopathic agenda. Here's the latest grim news:

Bush plans to screen all Americans for 'mental illness': As reported in the British Medical Journal, under another Orwellian program entitled, in Bush Newspeak, 'The New Freedom Initiative', Bush wants all Americans, including pre-school children, to be examined by armies of psychiatrists and those showing signs of potential "disruptive or aggressive behaviours and emotional disorders", and treated with a range of new, expensive antidepressants and antipsychotic drugs available exclusively from -- surprise! -- pharmaceutical companies that have contributed three times as much to Bush as to Kerry. This is a flagrant invasion of government into the private medical histories and choices of Americans -- Big Brother doping up American children. The plan, developed in Texas, has been decried there as a massive payoff to the drug companies, and this new initiative makes it a national program. An executive who blew the whistle on kickbacks from pharma companies to the Texas legislators was fired for his indiscretion, the BMJ reports.

More foreign journalists terrorized, deported by US Customs: The Guardian tells the increasingly common story of harassment, detention and intimidation of British and other 'friendly nation' journalists when they attempt to enter the US. Although this treatment is mild compared to the now-routine despicable, arbitrary and sometimes lethal abuse that people born in the third world face at the US border, it is evidence that the megalomanic and paranoid Homeland Security brownshirts are now treating every non-American, and every American with a foreign-sounding name or appearance as an enemy of the state, and treating them accordingly. It's a government-run hate factory run amok.

In other depressing and under-reported US news:

Balance of payments debt reaches another record: A statistic watched closely by economists, but not really understood by the media, is the Net International Investment Position (NIIP), the cumulative total of foreign investment and trade deficits. The Center for American Progress analyzes the unprecedented degree to which the US, and global, economy depends on willingness of the US's trade partners to continue to finance the US's insatiable demand for foreign goods and services, especially in the increasingly weak US dollar. See my earlier articles for the explanation of the danger. But take a look at the chart above to see how far it's gone, surpassing $2.5 trillion dollars, a fourth of the entire US economy, last year. Imagine what would happen if the foreign creditors get nervous and decide to call in their debt, or at least denominate it in some other currency. Imagine what will happen when interest rates spike, and the interest on this debt alone suddenly exceeds the lenders' ability to repay it without slashing domestic spending and massively increasing taxes. That's exactly what happened to Argentina, and to the Asian 'tiger' economies. Except this time, the bankrupt debtors will take the creditors with them.

Heard the latest about anthrax?: There has been surprisingly little blather from the Bush machine about the recent revelations (in the 9/11 report etc.) that Al Qaeda has planned, and still plans, an anthrax-based bioweapons attack on US soil. The group claiming responsibility for the Madrid bombings said that Operation "Winds of Black Death", involving a planned attack on the United States, was 90% complete. Attorney General Ashcroft has described the statement as coming from an Al Qaeda spokesman. But while senior government and all military personnel now get the (still risky and somewhat unreliable) anthrax vaccine, plans to administer or at least stock vaccine for all Americans appears to have been abandoned. So while Homeland Security wastes time (and America's reputation) harassing harmless foreigners and torturing Iraqi inmates, this real threat to Americans' security is ignored. It's almost enough to make you think they are perversely hoping for another 9/11, or worse, to get re-elected.

Scary stuff. Michael Moore and Ralph Nader were both up in Canada this week urging Canadians not to make the same mistake as Americans by electing a Conservative government here on Monday. As I've reported already, even if the Conservatives get a plurality they won't be able to forge a lasting governing coalition. Michael and Ralph have their work cut out for them in their own country, however. I'll have more to say about both of them next week.
