Hi all,Great news! Manning's publisher and Webmaster helped us to publish some LD about the book on Manning's site.
Great!
In my opinion, that is much, much better than doing it ourselves on a separate site.
Not really, there's never too much Linked Data about anything. For instance, the following could have happened:
1. You make a little turtle document describing this Book 2. You publish it3. You also contact the publisher about the virtues of a complimentary effort in their data space.
Effects: 1. You've created Linked Data 2. You've published Linked Data3. You are now armed with something that makes "opportunity costs" palpable -- in this case to the publisher 4. The Book's SDQ (Serendipitous Discovery Quotient) is now on an exponential curve -- and this even extends to search engines like Google.
There is a now an RDF icon on: http://manning.com/dwood/ …that links to: http://manning.com/dwood/LinkedData.ttl
Great. Few things though, note the incorrect mime type (it should be: text/turtle): curl -I http://manning.com/dwood/LinkedData.ttl HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Thu, 06 Dec 2012 15:27:58 GMTP3P: policyref="http://info.yahoo.com/w3c/p3p.xml";, CP="CAO DSP COR CUR ADM DEV TAI PSA PSD IVAi IVDi CONi TELo OTPi OUR DELi SAMi OTRi UNRi PUBi IND PHY ONL UNI PUR FIN COM NAV INT DEM CNT STA POL HEA PRE LOC GOV"

; dc:abstract """The flexible, unstructured nature of the Web is
being extended to act as a global database of
structured data. Linked Data is a standards-driven
model for representing structured data on the
Web that gives developers, publishers, and information
architects a consistent, predictable way
to publish, merge and consume data. The Linked Data
model offers the potential to standardize Web
data in the same way that SQL standardized large-scale
commercial databases. Linked Data has been
adopted by many well-known institutions, including
Google, Facebook, IBM, Oracle and government
agencies, as well as popular Open Source projects such
as Drupal.
Linked Data presents the Linked Data model in plain, jargon-free language to Web developers. Avoiding the overly-academic terminology of the Semantic Web, this new book presents practical techniques using everyday tools like JavaScript and Python. You'll work step-by-step through examples of increasing complexity as you explore foundational concepts such as HTTP URIs, the Resource Description Framework (RDF) and the SPARQL query language. Then you'll use various Linked Data document formats to create powerful Web applications and mashups. This book teaches you how to effectively use emerging Web standards to find, query, use and create structured data
on the Web."""

We will continue to build out the LD as the book progresses. Suggestions for content welcome.
That's exactly what should happen. Some folks might right reviews and publish from their own data spaces, ultimately all the puzzle pieces continue to coalesce into a coherent puzzle, across many contexts.
Many thanks to the people at Manning for making this happen.
Yes. Links:1. http://bit.ly/YRJSBC -- SPARQL Query results URL that verify the effects of the SPARQL INSERT query
2. http://bit.ly/VpkIDE -- SPARQL Query definition URL3. http://bit.ly/UpJDs8 -- Follow-Your-Nose exploration pattern starting with a PDF document URL 4. http://bit.ly/TJOV3p -- ditto but via URIBurner which has much more Linked Data (so you have deeper FYN exploitation).
Of course, it get much more interesting, but this should be a nice start for now :-)

Unfortunately, I haven't made any progress yet. I'll keep trying! Thanks for the mail. Perhaps I can use it as proof to Manning that people do want LD on their site. Regards, DaveDave, They have to understand that its sorta contradictory if they need to be convinced of this matter :-)Oh, I see your point and have made it myself. Unfortunately, economics seems to be dictating otherwise to them for right or wrong. The only productive suggestion that has been made to me is to put up a parallel site for the book that includes LD. Michael Hausenblas has offered the domain linkeddatadeveloper.com, which was his original site for the book but has fallen into disuse. Of course, I would need to be willing to pay for the site and take the time to operate it. Would the community find that a useful thing to do? I am willing to go to the effort if I receive a good number of positive responses. Regards, DaveA while back, there was a thread (on this list) about simple Linked Data deployment demonstration scenarios. I suggest you simply describe the book in a Turtle document then publish a link from one of the data spaces you control. You don't need more than that for this dog-fooding to kick in :-) Links: 1. http://bit.ly/SBDmXr -- describing stuff I like using a turtle document . -- Regards, Kingsley Idehen Founder & CEO OpenLink Software Company Web: http://www.openlinksw.com Personal Weblog: http://www.openlinksw.com/blog/~kidehen Twitter/Identi.ca handle: @kidehen Google+ Profile: https://plus.google.com/112399767740508618350/about LinkedIn Profile: http://www.linkedin.com/in/kidehen
