http://www.technologyreview.com/read_article.aspx?id=17845&ch=infotech , while talking vaguely about Web 2.0 and Semantic Web, mentions Piggy Bank:
"Another project attempting to extract more meaning from the Web is Piggy Bank, a joint effort by MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, MIT Libraries, and the World Wide Web Consortium. Piggy Bank's goal is to lift chunks of important information in data-heavy websites from their surroundings, so that Web surfers can make use of these info chunks in new ways." I installed http://simile.mit.edu/wiki/Piggy_Bank 3.01 in Minefield (a Firefox pre-alpha variant) and visited my page on ontoword, and somehow its "Collect and Browse Data from the Current Page" shows all my attributes and relations! I think it follows the link type="application/rdf+xml" in pages to read the RDF export of the page info. And maybe it has special knowledge of Semantic MediaWiki -- http://simile.mit.edu/wiki Special:Version has SMW 0.6 installed. Piggy Bank's details are beyond me but at least it's a user-friendly way to view SMW's RDF export. -- =S ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
