Hi David, folks, cc'ing [EMAIL PROTECTED] (the Talis Platform dev list - please join if you haven't already ;-), after the questions I'll describe what I'm up to...
I think I've got most of the code I need in place for SPARQL=>XSLT=>Timegrid, but there's a little info I'm lacking (at least one reason it doesn't yet work :-), and I need to do quite a bit of tidying... I forgot to mention earlier that I'm using XML data with Timegrid - I'd already started the XSLT before I saw the JSON examples. So the first question is how do I say the dates are ISO? The data I've got right now looks like this: <data xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#"; wiki-url="http://simile.mit.edu/shelf/"; wiki-section="Simile JFK Timeline" dateTimeFormat="iso8601"> <event start="2007-09-26T09:40:32+01:00" title="make executable jar " isDuration="False"> // some text </event> ... it's live at : http://tinyurl.com/yuff5v the Timegrid should show at: http://danja.talis.com/timegrid Source is at: http://n2.talis.com/svn/playground/danja/forms/timegrid/index.php and nearby. As you can see, I've done a bit of (unsuccessful) guesswork, so the second question is: what do I need to do to get it to work? :-) (btw, there's an absolute reference to a static.simile url - the ajax kit - in timegrid-api.js) ---------------------------- Being for the benefit of n2-dev : what I'm trying to do is run a SPARQL query against my online store (which contains dated resources, mostly the output of my work-in-progress activity logger thingy), run the results through XSLT and render it using Timegrid : http://simile.mit.edu/timegrid/ I'm gluing everything together with fairly trivial (!) PHP. So the query is: PREFIX dc: <http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/> SELECT DISTINCT ?event ?date ?title ?property ?value WHERE { ?event dc:date ?date ; dc:title ?title; ?property ?value . } ORDER BY DESC(?date) which is live at http://tinyurl.com/2mzkdm (or if you copy & paste, at http://danja.talis.com/sparql-editor.html ) The property/value bit isn't really used yet, right now I've just them dumped into the Timegrid data as a placeholder in lieu of a more useful description. the XSLT takes the results and (not quite) transforms them to what Timegrid understands. http://danja.talis.com/timegrid/sparql2timegrid.xsl The plan is to use the query as a URI, pass that to an online XSLT service - making a longer URI, which is the one shortened to http://tinyurl.com/yuff5v I've not yet the URL encoding/XML escaping quite right in the PHP (trivial? pah!) , so for now I've just bunged in the tinyurl. btw, the Talis XSLT service (http://n2.talis.com/wiki/Transformation_Service) chokes on the SPARQL-embedded URI (probably encoding issues again), so I'm using the W3C service at: http://www.w3.org/2001/05/xslt Cheers, Danny. -- http://dannyayers.com _______________________________________________ General mailing list [email protected] http://simile.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/general
