Hot off the System One triplepress, skillfully operated by Monsieur earl: WikipediałWikipedia metadata and structural information as ready-to-mine RDF data sets. Go forthe and infere!

Together with UniProt (assembled by Eric Jain), WordNet and DBLP (available from the rather sparsely populated SemanticWeb.org Library), this is certainly one of the most interesting (and most interestingly-sized) data sets available in RDF as of yet.

47054407 triples.Of course I couldn't wait to experience Fluxiom either; so far I can only echo Matthias' comments: It's a beautiful application, but unfortunately still a bit buggy. Tags don't seem to work at all at the moment (or I am too stupid to figure out how to use them*). The image quality of the thumbnails is surprisingly poor. I also wish it were possible to disable all the animations, fades &c. - gets a bit unnerving after a while and the application would feel much snappier without them.

If you're in the mood for trying out something today and don't want to hand over your CC# just to do so, I'd recommend filicio.us, a lean interface for your Amazon S3 account, developed by Steffen Christensen with the helping hands of Guan Yang. If they add in thumbnailing, it's probably not a lot less functional than Fluxiom for private use or small team scenarios. Storage costs for the 8 gigabytes which Fluxiom offers in the highest-end variant (!) would be a whopping $1.25/m. (Honorable mention: fili's Flash-based uploading widget recycled from 23. On a semi-related note, I can't help thinking that Fluxiom would almost certainly work much smoother were it implemented in Flash - but of course we've progressed way too far in the hype cycle for that to make waves.)

* Turns out, I am! Tags work quite differently in Fluxiom, losing much of the immediacy and direct-manipulation flavor of the originals.

way over the top ajax stuff does not turn a bad idea (file sharing with high prices) into a good one. or do i miss something?

chris 6775 days AGO
it's file sharing with resizable thumbnails!

guan 6774 days AGO
Not that I want to dissuade anyone from trying out filicio.us, but you still need to hand over your CC# -- to Amazon, for the S3 service.

chris 6774 days AGO
You don't need to if you're using the demo account, right?

guan 6774 days AGO
Right.
