Hi Hugh,
Thanks for championing voiD here:)
I would love to avoid the manual editing too. As Leigh said, editing esw
wiki is not the best experience you could have.
Do you have a voiD description creator/editor you can share with the
community?

Please no! Not another manual entry system.
I had already decided I just haven't got the time to manually maintain this
constantly changing set of numbers, so would not be responding to the request
to update.
(In fact, the number of different places that a good LD citizen has to put
their data into the esw wiki is really rather high.)
Last time Anja was kind enough to put a lot of effort into processing the
graphviz for us to generate the numbers, but this is not the way to do it.
In our case, we have 39 different stores, with linkages between them and to
others outside.
There are therefore 504 numbers to represent the linkage, although they don't
all meet a threshold.
For details of the linkage in rkbexplorer see pictures at
http://www.rkbexplorer.com/linkage/ or query http://void.rkbexplorer.com/ .
And these figures are constantly changing, as the system identifies more -
there can be more than 1000 a day.
If any more work is to be put into generating this picture, it really should be
from voiD descriptions, which we already make available for all our datasets.
And for those who want to do it by hand, a simple system to allow them to
specify the linkage using voiD would get the entry into a format for the voiD
processor to use (I'm happy to host the data if need be).
Or Aldo's system could generate its RDF using the voiD ontology, thus providing
the manual entry system?
I know we have been here before, and almost got to the voiD processor thing:-
please can we try again?
Sure, this will be an interesting experiment.
Regards,
Jun

Hi,
I've just added several new datasets to the Statistics page that
weren't previously listed. Its not really a great user experience
editing the wiki markup and manually adding up the figures.
So, thinking out loud, I'm wondering whether it might be more
appropriate to use a Google spreadsheet and one of their submission
forms for the purposes of collectively the data. A little manual
editing to remove duplicates might make managing this data a little
more easier. Especially as there are also pages that separately list
the available SPARQL endpoints and RDF dumps.
I'm sure we could create something much better using Void, etc but
for
now, maybe using a slightly better tool would give us a little more
progress? It'd be a snip to dump out the Google Spreadsheet data
programmatically too, which'd be another improvement on the current
situation.
What does everyone else think?
Nice Idea! Especially as Google Spreadsheet to RDF is just about
RDFizers for the Google Spreadsheet API :-)
Hehe. I have this in my todo (literally). A website that exposes a
google spreadsheet as SPARQL endpoint. Internally we use it as UI to
quickly create config files et Al.
But It will remain in my todo forever...;)
Kingsley, this could be sponged. The trick is that the spreadsheet
must have an accompanying page/sheet/book with metadata (the NS or
explicit URIs for cols).

Dear all,
We are planning to produce an updated data cloud diagram based on
the
dataset information on the esw wiki page:
http://esw.w3.org/topic/TaskForces/CommunityProjects/LinkingOpenData/DataSets/Statistics
If you have not published your dataset there yet and you would
like your
dataset to be included, can you please add your dataset there?
If you have an entry there for your dataset already, can you
please update
information about your dataset on the wiki?
If you cannot edit the wiki page any more because the recent
update of esw
wiki editing policy, you can send the information to me or Anja,
who is
cc'ed. We can update it for you.
If you know your friends have dataset on the wiki, but are not on
the
mailing list, can you please kindly forward this email to them? We
would
like to get the data cloud as up-to-date as possible.
For this release, we will use the above wiki page as the information
gathering point. We do apologize if you have published information
about
your dataset on other web pages and this request would mean extra
work for
you.
Many thanks for your contributions!
Kindest regards,
Jun
