How to publish data for gathering by SWEO

If you keep a Web site with information about the Semantic Web, or if you have written an interesting tutorial, or when you are managing an interesting software project, you may want to publish it.

If you want to publish one link

If you have one interesting resource about the Semantic Web and you wish to upload it to SWEO, you can add the link using del.icio.us. Login to your account, and tag the website of interest, using the tag sweo and one of the tags from the Classification Ontology.

Example:

How to submit your data to be gathered by SWEO

To upload your data, use the Information Gathering Form:

How to write RDF files describing your semantic web resources

If you already have a collection of information about resources or you want to describe your resource, you will use RDF for this. We have setup a page with all data vocabularies that we want to accept, see:

  • ../DataVocabulary

TODO: add more examples that conform to the vocabularies from above


 
Example information items in N3:

@prefix rdf:  <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#> .
@prefix rdfs: <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#> .
@prefix skos: <http://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos/core#> .
@prefix rss:  <http://purl.org/rss/1.0/> .
@prefix sy:   <http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/syndication/> .

# this is the link to the ClassificationOntology
@prefix sweoconcept <http://www.w3.org/TOBECHOSENYETBYUS/SWEO/informationitemconcept#> .
