    SDoW2009

    After a shot holidays in Sardinia, I’m back to announce the 2nd International Workshop on Social Data on the Web (SDoW2009), that will be held at Washington in October, co-located with the 8th International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC2009). We’ve just send out the CfP, contributions are welcomed until July 24th.

    Migrating to libre.fm

    Some weeks ago I decided not to use more last.fm. Thanks to a set of python scripts, today I completed the migration of my tracklist to libre.fm. It’s nice to know that I’m the owner of my own data :-)

    Two Free Software weeks in Asturias

    The previous week the course «El Software Libre, fundamentos e impacto en la sociedad» started at the University of Oviedo, with the collaboration of CTIC Foundation and Morfeo Project. Yesterday it was the last session. And I’d like to say that, in spite of the heterogeneity of students, I’m very happy with the result of this academic experiment, and it might not be the last.

    But in the middle of these two weeks of course, AsturLiNUX celebrated its 10th anniversary with a brief event last Saturday. Although I’m a little bit missing this year, I’m sure the association can continue many more years helping to spread the free software in Asturias.

    Mailing Lists and Social Semantic Web

    Social Web EvolutionToday I’ve received my printed copy of the book Social Web Evolution: Integrating Semantic Applications and Web 2.0 Technologies, which includes a chapter titled Mailing Lists and Social Semantic Web gathering all the work made these last years around SWAML, SIOC, mailing lists and the Social Semantic Web.

    This is the first book that I’ve written, so I’m very proud of it. Thank you to the co-authors of the chapter (Diego, Lian, Labra and Patricia), the editors of the book, and all the people that help us during these years.

    If someone wants to take a look at book, you can find it on Amazon or just use the preview provided by Google Books.

    Bye bye last.fm

    Last.fm Radio will soon require a payment subscription, so that means the end of three years and a half using it. I pay for other services, such as hosting, flickr and other; but not just to share the list of the music I usually listen (I don’t really use radios too much).

    Updated LOD cloud figure

    The LOD cloud figure has been updated by Anja Jentzsch and Chris Bizer. Thanks for their effort, now we also have a nice colored version according the application areas of each dataset:

    Really nice. And RDFohloh is already there :-)

    Language and science

    It is impossible to disassociate language from science or science from language, because every natural science always involves three things: the sequence of phenomena on which the science is based, the abstract concepts which call these phenomena to mind, and the words in which the concepts are expressed. To call forth a concept, a word is needed; to portray a phenomenon, a concept is needed. All three mirror one and the same reality.

    Antoine Lavoisier, 1789

    Cited in the preface in a quite interesting book that I’ve just discovered.

    Debian 5.0

    It looks that my dpkg doesn’t know the news:

    lisa:~# apt-get upgrade
    (...)
    supported_versions: WARNING: Unknown Debian release: 5.0
    (...)

    Good work, Debian!
