Google's structured seach talk / Google squared UI
Hi all, This talk might have been seen by some of you; but was certainly new to me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5lCSDOuqv1Afeature=autoshare Much of this is an exploration of how google is making use of freebase's underlying linked data to better understand what they are crawling - deriving what something is by examining its attributes; and automatically creating something like linked data from it. Additionally; it talks about Google squared - this tool appears to be heavily powered by freebase data; as well as derived data from the web. I was fairly impressed by the mix of understanding a user query and rendering results as actual entities (one of the few non-facet based UIs I have seen). For instance: territorial authorities in new zealand http://www.google.com/squared/search?q=territorial+authorities+in+new+zealand Whilst this is not using the typical linked data technology stack of RDF, SPARQL, open licenced data, etc; it certainly shows you what can be done with data in a graph structure; plus a UI which is a cross between a spreadsheet and a search result.

Hi, I did something very similar to Google Squared in small php script a couple of years ago: http://iandavis.com/2009/lodgrid/?store=spacequery=jupitercolumns=6 It uses linked data held in the Talis Platform and the platform's full text search service.

Nice! But unfortunately I have to choose a platform store. Shouldn't I be able to search for jupiter and return results from nasa and dbpedia?

Daniel, Export the tabular data, lookup URIs from DBpedia, add to table, use angle brackets for URIs, de-normalize to 3-tuple structure (table with Reference values), and you have platform agnostic Linked Data. This resource can be ingested by anything that supports N-Triples :-) Great example. Of course folks can go down other unproductive routes, but be best assured, the guide above gets you to the finishing line quickly. In addition, it demonstrates the real power of Linked Data at InterWeb scale without any platform lock-in. The game of Linked Data isn't about Lock-In. It's about Open Access to Linked Data Objects, leveraging the prowers of URIs as Super Keys. -- Regards, Kingsley Idehen President CEO OpenLink Software Web: http://www.openlinksw.com Weblog: http://www.openlinksw.com/blog/~kidehen Twitter/Identi.ca: kidehen

Give me a break, it was only an hour or so's work! :) Seriously, what you suggest is possible with a bit more effort. On Friday, February 11, 2011, Juan Sequeda juanfeder...@gmail.com wrote: Nice!

All very nice, might be worth mentioning Michael Hausenblas' fine (WIP) addrable here too: https://github.com/mhausenblas/addrable Best, Nathan Ian Davis wrote: Hi, I did something very similar to Google Squared in small php script a couple of years ago: http://iandavis.com/2009/lodgrid/?store=spacequery=jupitercolumns=6 It uses linked data held in the Talis Platform and the platform's full text search service.
