Bob,
Thanks. I agree that TBC may not be the best tool for the average end
user. It should be a tool to help in creating semantic web apps and for
testing. For someone comfortable navigating it, indeed it is a good tool
for doing that. So, I isolated a problem I was having with one of the
ontologies I had been using. It is the ResumeRDF ontology. It is defined
here: http://rdfs.org/resume-rdf/
with the namespaces being the following two uri:
http://purl.org/captsolo/resume-rdf/0.2/cv# - ResumeRDF ontology
http://purl.org/captsolo/resume-rdf/0.2/base# - base taxonomy containing
possible values for ResumeRDF properties
I can import various other ontologies into TBC but I cannot find any of the
links on this page to be something that TBC can import successfully. I
just get errors when I try to import them from the web. I'm not able to
find a link to download this - as in a link that will give back only an
rdf/xml file.
I don't know if this is very popular or not... and if the underlying schema
even exists on the server. Is it ok to recreate an ontology and republish
it?
I know of some resume applications that use the semantic web but they seem
to be targeted to employers. There is a schema.org schema for JobPosting
but I don't see any for describing a person's full CV.
Thanks,
Bruce
