GoodRelations: Exposing information about which products you own, at Web Scale
Dear all: Many shopping sites provide recommendations based on your past purchases. For example, Amazon suggest books related to books or book topics from previous purchases. The main problem of such recommendations is that they are limited to what you previously bought in that particular store. If you buy stuff from multiple sites, the current site cannot take into account what you bought from the other ones, which limits the quality of the recommendations. Since long, GoodRelations has provided a simple yet extremely powerful mechanism for making information about what you previously bought or own to multiple shopping sites. So you can expose data about ALL products that you own to ALL shopping sites that you want to be aware of those for recommendations. That is exactly the cross-site product ownership info that services like e.g. http://shwowp.com are providing, but with GoodRelations, you can do that at Web scale. Here is a recipe of how it works in GoodRelations: http://www.ebusiness-unibw.org/wiki/GoodRelationsOwns Best wishes Martin Hepp martin hepp e-business web science research group universitaet der bundeswehr muenchen e-mail: h...@ebusiness-unibw.org phone: +49-(0)89-6004-4217 fax: +49-(0)89-6004-4620 www: http://www.unibw.de/ebusiness/ (group) http://www.heppnetz.de/ (personal) skype: mfhepp twitter: mfhepp Check out GoodRelations for E-Commerce on the Web of Linked Data! = * Project Main Page: http://purl.org/goodrelations/ * Quickstart Guide for Developers: http://bit.ly/quickstart4gr * Vocabulary Reference: http://purl.org/goodrelations/v1 * Developer's Wiki: http://www.ebusiness-unibw.org/wiki/GoodRelations * Examples: http://bit.ly/cookbook4gr * Presentations: http://bit.ly/grtalks * Videos: http://bit.ly/grvideos
Re: ISIC as Linked Data?
Hi Aldo, Not directly an answer to your question, but: In GoodRelations, we use ISIC as a datatype property, http://purl.org/goodrelations/v1#hasISICv4 , because replicating standardized numbering schemes is usually difficult due to maintenance and legal issues.

You can take the Microsoft Access dump, re-org the SQL data if need be, zap it through the RDF Views Wizard (using ODBC connection to Access) and you're set re. RDF based Linked Data Space.

Call for Chapters and Reviewers: Linking Government Data Book
Hi all, The Call for Chapters will be extended by one month to allow for submission by some stragglers. Please feel free to refine your proposal during that time. The revised Call is posted at: http://3roundstones.com/2010/12/call-for-chapters-extended-linking-government-data/ Springer has agreed to publish the book. As with Linking Enterprise Data, the book will be copyright by Springer and published in ebook and print form. The entire contents of the book will be made available on the Web as HTML by me after the final submission of the manuscript. To get an idea of the ways in which Linking Government Data will be published, please see Linking Enterprise Data at: http://3roundstones.com/linking-enterprise-data/ Also, if anyone on this group would like to be a chapter reviewer, please reply to this message. Thanks in advance. Regards, Dave

Yes, and how do you take advantage of the network effect without a Linked Data Space? Of course your desired effect could be Intranet or Internet scoped. 1. If it is done, don't do it again 2. Reuse IDs which will eventually align my dataset with another datasets. For example, someone will add images to these categories, and my apps will benefit from that with a simple import. I think Virtuoso's RDF Views are best ( in fact, crucial ) when dealing with a live dataset which is stored in an RDBMS and being operated on by other apps. Like sugar CRM for example. SugarCRM (easy map via RDF Views), SalesForce.com (via our Cartridge which maps to our on eCRM ontology), our own eCRM (which has had its own Ontology for eons), all end up as foundation for powerful Linked Data Data Spaces (public or private). Thus, make the data space, and experience the network effect you seek :-) Kingsley You get the picture Kingsley We are using it to fill this predicate.

PhD/PostDoc Positions in Semantic Web, Web Science, and E-Business - Deadline December 15, 2010
The E-Business and Web Science Research Group (Prof. Hepp) at Universitaet der Bundeswehr in Munich, Germany invites applications for several fully funded PhD positions and one Post-doc position in the field of Semantic Web, Web Science, and E-Business Research. We are a young team of researchers with backgrounds in information systems, conceptual modeling, economics, computer science, and related disciplines. Our main goal is to find practically relevant and scientifically significant results that help coordinate human activity over the Web. A flagship example of our recent work is the GoodRelations technology for e-commerce, adopted by major Web companies like Google, Yahoo, BestBuy, Overstock.com, and many others. Research topics for the positions: * Linked Data and the Semantic Web * Recommender Systems * Data Quality * Ontology Engineering * Economics of Semantic Technology * Social Commerce * Micropayment We offer... * a stimulating research environment with people who are working on leading edge problems of the future World Wide Web and novel E- Business scenarios, * a „small think-tank“ atmosphere, in which experienced seniors are still deeply involved in actual research, * excellent ties to the international research community, * guidance on how to publish your best findings in good conference proceedings and peer-reviewed journals , and last but not least * the supervision and continuous, timely feedback that you need to achieve great results and complete your PhD in a 3 – 3.5 years time- frame. The salary will be according to the German TVOED E13 scheme for the PhD positions (75 ...100%, depending on profile and experience) and E14 for the post-doc position (100%). We expect... * a sincere interest in the technical, socia, or economic aspects of the World Wide Web, ideally related to E-Business, * the willingness to contribute the „99% perspiration“ (Thomas Alva Edison) that is needed to carry a great idea forward until it yields a validated result: a prototype, a statistically significant improvement, or similar, * excellent English skills in speaking and writing, and * a master’s degree or equivalent in business management, computer science, information systems, economics, or a related subject. A plus would be any of the following skills: * Conceptual modeling (in particular in UML, ER, ORM, or BPMN) * Good knowledge of the current WWW technology stack (Web architecture, XML and related technologies, Web protocols, etc.) * RDF, OWL, SPARQL expertise * Programming skills in Java, PHP, or Python, ideally with RDF APIs * Economics and Business Management * Databases * Statistics We very much appreciate if you develop prototypes or supervise the development of prototypes of your work, unless that is not applicable to your type of research question. If you have a deep interest in driving forward the World Wide Web both as a technology and tool and as a social environment, we would be happy hear from you. Please submit your application in English by e-mail (mandatory) with all documents as PDF attachments (mandatory) to martin.h...@unibw.de, no later than December 15, 2010. Your application should include the following documents: 1. Cover letter 2. CV 3. Academic credentials 4. Title and abstract of your Master's thesis 5. List of publications (if any) For further information, see also our following Web pages: GoodRelations research project: - http://purl.org/goodrelations/ - http://www.ebusiness-unibw.org/wiki/GoodRelations Recent publications: - http://www.heppnetz.de/publications/ Research vision: - http://www.unibw.de/ebusiness/research/ Best regards Martin Hepp --- Dr. Martin Hepp, Professor of General Management and E-Business Universitaet der Bundeswehr Werner-Heisenberg-Weg 39 D-85579 Neubiberg, Germany http://www.unibw.de/ebusiness/research/
