Just for you, Kingsley, I have fixed it :-) You might need to shift-reload to get the latest code.

I wasn't actually expecting such an intense reaction to just "javascript:{}". I wonder if that might put off newcomers, who believe that the slightest profanity against The URIs on this mailing list will always trigger such adverse reactions.

If you expose the URIs, I would then be able to demonstrate what I mean using your nice UI, how about that?
Now that that's all behind us, I'm looking forward to see what you mean. Please, show us what you've got!

Best,

David,

In the "nice to have" bucket, is is possible for you to use <link rel="dc:source" title="Data Sources" type="application/< [atom+xml] | [rss+xml] | [rdf+xml] >" href="<feed-information-resource-url>" /> to expose the list of Freebase URLs in you pages. Thus, a list of all URLs (once all "javascript:{}" have been replaced).

Example:
http://mqlx.com/~david/parallax/browse.html?type=%2Fgovernment%2Fus_president

Has URLs (instead of: "javascript:{}") for each page about a President, but this isn't the case re. "Filter Results" DIV. Ideally, all the Freebase URLs could be exposed via a Feed which lists all the URLs (as per the <link / > suggestion above, with dc:source as the DC term for data sources).

So one last thing, which cannot be expensive to implement since you are simply substituting a few more "javascript:{}" for URLs and the listing them is a data sources collection resource (using Atom, RSS 2.0, or RSS 1.0 or even OPML).

When all of this is in place, I will then have multiple points from which to launch a SPARQL Query without the user writing a line of SPARQL or seeing anyting to do with RDF. They will simply feel the FORCE of the Linked Data :-)
