Fwd: Panton Fellowships
Dear LODers, Thought this could be interesting for some of us: Funded by the Open Society Institute, two Panton Fellowships will be awarded by Open Knowledge Foundation to scientists who actively promote open data in science. The Fellowships are open to all, and would particularly suit graduate students and early-stage career scientists. See attached email from OKFN's Laura. Best, Sören ---BeginMessage--- Dear all, The OKFN is delighted to announce the launch of the Panton Fellowships! Funded by the Open Society Institute, two Panton Fellowships will be awarded to scientists who actively promote open data in science. The Fellowships are open to all, and would particularly suit graduate students and early-stage career scientists. Fellows will have the freedom to undertake a range of activities, which should ideally complement their existing work. Panton Fellows may wish to explore solutions for making data open, facilitate discussion, and catalyse the open science community. Fellows will receive £8k p.a. Prospective applicants should send a CV and covering letter to jobs[@]okfn.org by Friday 24th February. Full details can be found at [Panton Principles]( http://pantonprinciples.org/panton-fellowships/). You can also see our [blog post](http://blog.okfn.org/2012/01/25/panton-fellowships-apply-now/). Please do feel free to circulate these details to interested individuals and appropriate mailing lists!

Modelling colors
I see hasColor a lot in the OWL documentation but I was trying to work out a way to say something has a certain color. I understand linked open colors was a joke Anyone know of an ontology with color or hasColor as a predicate?
Re: Modelling colors
As far as I remember when it was announced, Linked Open Colors was not really a joke. It was clearly something made for fun, but it was also trying to usefully model colors according to Linked Data principles.

In http://www.w3.org/ns/ui are some terms for adding to things (classes, or individuals) hints for user agents as to what color things should be. The tabulator uses this for things like task priority level in the tracker in the bug pane. e.g. http://www.w3.org/ns/ui#color In practice backgroundColor is more useful if you are going to use us it for text-based UI, as it is more legible than text color. Tim BL style a r:Property, owl:DatatypeProperty; s:label style; prompt CSS style; s:comment Must be a valid CSS style string such as one could put in an HTML style attribute. Depedning on teh user interface system, this can by given to individuals, classes or properties. It is up to a user interface which wants to draw on them to pick how it uses styles from which parts of the data it has. For example, the style of a class may be picked to distinguish information about things in that class.. backgroundColor a r:Property, owl:DatatypeProperty; s:label background colour@en; s:range ui:Color; s:comment Must be a valid CSS color string such as one could put in an HTML style attribute. This should be in the #xx form, (with 6 digits of hex) so that it can work with Graphviz.. color a r:Property, owl:DatatypeProperty; s:label colour@en; s:range ui:Color; s:comment Must be a valid CSS color string such as one could put in an HTML style attribute.
