  1. chatting with @countculture about how to make this stuff sustainable #opendata #democracy
  2. @pauldappleby companiesopen.org uses the companies house XML gateway for new queries, that throttles you to 2 requests a second
  3. launched new Companies Open House domain http://companiesopen.org/ credits: @delineator @grahamashton @jamespjh @martinbtt @metade #opendata
  4. seeing OS guy has "toitu he kainga: whatungarongaro he tangata" on the back of his t-shirt: http://bit.ly/2QZuX4 #semweb09 #opendata
  5. @tommyh agree that persistent, meaningful URIs for subject indicators are essential - but think useful services can be built without RDF
  6. going to talk about my experiences opening govt data, incl FOIA requests, PDF parsing, identity resolution code; the work #opendata requires
  7. sitting at @okfn's #semweb event, looks like audience have technical rather than policy objectives #opendata
  8. @tommyh or join them up with Topic Map associations, or HTML hyperlinks, or ActiveRecord associations #linkeddata #opendata
  9. @JeniT already have working code to identify company names using regexps plus the companies house XML gateway api - works quite well
  10. @johnlsheridan a Govt entity indentification service would be useful, something that takes text input similar to opencalais or alchemyapi
  11. deciding not to bother with attending Personal Democracy Forum Europe
  12. @johnlsheridan is RDF premature optimization? getting Govt to use permanent URIs as identifiers (eg for companies) is a better start I think
  13. @tommorris in practice the data I'm interested in is not available as RDF - it's as simple as that - I can't use what's not there
  14. @JeniT thanks for confirming it would have "been too expensive or difficult to mark them up" - I wanted to highlight that for @tommorris
  15. @tommorris London Gazatte RDFa project decided it was too expensive or difficult to identify companies for all notices: http://bit.ly/1Hg48o
  16. seeing Google's joining the #opendata game - "Tell us about your organisation's public data": http://bit.ly/3rEgb9
  17. @tommorris a URI for each subject is a good idea - but it's too expensive, impractical, and inaccurate to convert all useful data to RDF
  18. probably heading to http://wiki.okfn.org/Semant... tomorrow - it feels like the REST vs SOAP days of 2002 all over again #opendata
  19. saying geographically based representation doesn't cut it anymore; MPs representing my interests incl @joswinson and @tom_watson - I want PR
  20. in great post-lrug chat: how do parties swing public opinion to win an election? In NZ it was "nanny state" spin. In UK it's ... ?
