Practical Semantic Astronomy

I just came back from the workshop at Caltech, and I wanted to make some notes to myself.

• My talk (12MiB PDF)
• Wiki Pages

Cool Stuff I Learned About

RDF

It seemed like everything semantic was being driven by RDF in one way or another. And things like RDFa and microformats provide ways to provide this in the web pages.

Also, D2R looks like a fast way to get existing relational databases exposed.

VSTO

This is a project led by Peter Fox that uses ontologies to help map between data.
