16:38:04 Xabby77 hi lars
16:38:09 Xabby77 hi lheuer
16:38:31 lheuer Hi Xabby77! :)
16:38:39 lheuer Hi other Lars, hi all ;)
16:39:02 Xabby77 lasr i posted also the link for the xtm file where the are also the definition of the role scope topic and association
16:39:55 Xabby77 A question, is possible to convert the RDF to Topic Maps and viceversa? or is just a chimera?
16:40:39 opland opland has quit None ("Opland has left the channel...")
16:41:32 larsbot hi Xabby77
16:41:35 larsbot it's definitely possible
16:41:38 larsbot you can do it with Omnigator
16:41:46 larsbot there's even a UI for RDF -> TM
16:41:58 Xabby77 oh you got the link?
16:42:21 larsbot you have to download it
16:42:22 larsbot but there's a page about it
16:42:22 Xabby77 oh no matter is in OKS right?
16:42:36 larsbot yes
16:42:39 larsbot look here: http://www.knowledge-synergy.com/topicmaps/document/rdf-browsing-en.html
16:42:51 larsbot you don't have to turn on the plug-in the way that page says, but otherwise it's accurate
16:42:59 Xabby77 really nice
16:43:43 Xabby77 so the advantage to cross from a format to another is the interoperability? am i right?
16:45:30 larsbot yes
16:45:48 larsbot although you could say that to go from one format to another *is* interoperability
16:47:28 Xabby77 so if you can go from topic maps to rdf you can also use owl on the rdf file you got from topic maps?
16:47:40 Xabby77 or is just for the same label
16:49:28 larsbot sure, you can use OWL on that RDF
16:49:40 larsbot it will be normal RDF, just like if you'd typed it in yourself
16:51:43 Xabby77 ok i understand, but is also possible the same? i mean is possible convert a RDF file with a schema in a Topic Maps?
16:51:52 chefpogo chefpogo has joined #topicmaps
16:52:58 larsbot yes, it's possible to do that conversion
16:53:10 larsbot however, you'll need extra rules to turn an RDF Schema into a TM schema (OSL or whatever)
16:53:18 larsbot the same goes for OWL, obviously
16:54:49 Xabby77 ok but at moment the conversion from rdf to topic maps i as bit difficult because there is not a standard ....is it right?
16:55:30 larsbot at the moment there is only the RTM method
16:55:31 larsbot RTM: http://www.ontopia.net/topicmaps/materials/rdf2tm.html
16:55:49 larsbot that's supported by the OKS (and Omnigator), and there is a half-finished open source implementation
16:56:05 larsbot the W3C is working on a standard mapping that will probably come out this summer some time
16:58:58 lheuer [OT] Sourceforge sucks :(
16:59:17 Xabby77 so next question is .....supporting interoperability developing a TMCL and a TMQL will push the TM to rappresent the Knowledge as the Semantic Web with RDF+OWL now permit.....so why make another standard ?sorry i am a gestional engeneer so on my side is such a duplication of resource
16:59:42 lheuer [OT] At least 2 weeks the CVS is not updated (for anonymous access)
17:00:52 lheuer Xabby77: Since TMs and RDF is not the same thing, both camps have to do the work
17:02:46 larsbot Xabby77: my answer to that is these four paragraphs: http://www.ontopia.net/topicmaps/materials/tmrdf.html#N68
17:02:50 larsbot :-)
17:02:55 larsbot lheuer: :-(
17:03:42 Xabby77 thx larsbot i am a bit confused at moment :)
17:04:04 larsbot no worries :-)
