        Mm, certianly not just in the music world
      • 2010-09-02 24528, 2010

      • Yllona
        nope, not just the music world. finance too
      • 2010-09-02 24547, 2010

      • Muz
        Academia too :)
      • 2010-09-02 24555, 2010

      • Yllona
        yep.
      • 2010-09-02 24506, 2010

      • Yllona
        so my favorite ontology editor / IDE is topquadrant. have you seen it yet? it's not open source :|
      • 2010-09-02 24522, 2010

      • Yllona
        but totally kick ass...
      • 2010-09-02 24529, 2010

      • Muz takes a peek
      • 2010-09-02 24552, 2010

      • Yllona
        it's worth a download of the eval copy
      • 2010-09-02 24537, 2010

      • Yllona
        sadly, the open source offerings have been disappointing
      • 2010-09-02 24516, 2010

      • Yllona
        they're just not "Enterprise ready" ;)
      • 2010-09-02 24519, 2010

      • Muz
        I don't think that's necessarily a problem though
      • 2010-09-02 24531, 2010

      • Muz
        The factor of something being open source or not
      • 2010-09-02 24540, 2010

      • Yllona
        nope not at all
      • 2010-09-02 24559, 2010

      • Muz
        In most cases, it's purely a safeguard over "what if the company falls through", but until then, the vast majority of people won't and don't care
      • 2010-09-02 24530, 2010

      • Yllona
        correct
      • 2010-09-02 24549, 2010

      • Muz
        Includes the people asking for it to be open source from what I've seen too tbh. :p
      • 2010-09-02 24525, 2010

      • Yllona
        so topquadrant has Helmut knuger and Jeremy Carroll staff
      • 2010-09-02 24505, 2010

      • Yllona
        helmut was the original developer of Protege, and Jeremy was the original developer of JENA
      • 2010-09-02 24549, 2010

      • ianmcorvidae
        if I could pay $500 to get the darn thing I wouldn't care
      • 2010-09-02 24551, 2010

      • ianmcorvidae
        :/

        ianmcorvidae: are you astudent?
      • 2010-09-02 24532, 2010

      • ianmcorvidae
        I am, yes
      • 2010-09-02 24512, 2010

      • Yllona
        i'll check and see if there's a student version / discount
      • 2010-09-02 24521, 2010

      • ianmcorvidae
        there is, it's the $500 one
      • 2010-09-02 24527, 2010

      • ianmcorvidae
        instead of the >$1000 one :)
      • 2010-09-02 24535, 2010

      • ianmcorvidae
        "academic edition"
      • 2010-09-02 24555, 2010

      • Yllona
        okay, you're way ahead of me ;)
      • 2010-09-02 24514, 2010

      • ianmcorvidae
        heh :)
      • 2010-09-02 24534, 2010

      • Yllona
        ianmcorvidae: what are you doing with semantic tech?
      • 2010-09-02 24503, 2010

      • ianmcorvidae
        lots of random experimentation, mostly, in part because I can't get any really awesome tools to work with
      • 2010-09-02 24521, 2010

      • ianmcorvidae
        done some playing with Semantic Mediawiki (in part with my school) but that's not a fantastic platform
      • 2010-09-02 24536, 2010

      • ianmcorvidae
        publish at least FOAF stuff for myself, but that's the most I've been able to maintain
      • 2010-09-02 24526, 2010

      • ianmcorvidae
        once the LinkedBrainz stuff finishes up I may dream up some project involving that data :)
      • 2010-09-02 24543, 2010

      • Yllona
        ah, that's a good start tho.
      • 2010-09-02 24515, 2010

      • Yllona
        yeah, i'm looking forward to the LinkedBrainz stuff myself
      • 2010-09-02 24545, 2010

      • ianmcorvidae
        it looks like it'll be pretty cool
      • 2010-09-02 24551, 2010

      • ianmcorvidae
        I need to get myself up to speed with MO, but
      • 2010-09-02 24510, 2010

      • Yllona
        did everybody see / read about the new itunes Ping service? looks an awful lot like last.fm features
      • 2010-09-02 24556, 2010

      • Yllona
        ianmcorvidae: what's MO?
      • 2010-09-02 24502, 2010

      • ianmcorvidae
        music ontology
      • 2010-09-02 24534, 2010

      • Yllona
        ah, that's somewhat limited. doesn't do classical well
      • 2010-09-02 24558, 2010

      • Yllona
        unless it's improved since last i looked
      • 2010-09-02 24511, 2010

      • Yllona
        okay, that's new and improved! definitely worth looking at
      • 2010-09-02 24532, 2010

      • ianmcorvidae
        yeah, it's improved a lot :)
      • 2010-09-02 24521, 2010

      • Yllona
        i'll say. Wow!

        hello

      • nikki
        hi :P
      • 2010-09-02 24509, 2010

      • kurtjx
        hehe
      • 2010-09-02 24524, 2010

      • kurtjx
        can anyone comment on why tags are licensed by-nc-sa and not public domain?
      • 2010-09-02 24509, 2010

      • nikki
        probably because they're not facts
      • 2010-09-02 24517, 2010

      • kurtjx
        i see
      • 2010-09-02 24535, 2010

      • kurtjx
        i think for now i'm leaving these out of the RDF translation
      • 2010-09-02 24520, 2010

      • kurtjx
        JISC (the funding guys) are a bit prickly about licenses and wan to be sure only "totally open" licenses are applied to the RDF
      • 2010-09-02 24557, 2010

      • nikki nods
      • 2010-09-02 24511, 2010

      • nikki
        it can always be done later I guess, if someone says it should be added :)
      • 2010-09-02 24523, 2010

      • kurtjx
        indeed :)

        kurtjx: i saw this last night reading catching up on LinkBrainz activity. I found it odd as well
      • 2010-09-02 24513, 2010

      • Yllona
        kurtjx: what ontology editor / IDE will you be using? just curious
      • 2010-09-02 24518, 2010

      • kurtjx
        you mean the tags license - a bit odd, but i'm not gonna make too much noise quite yet - it means less work for me in the short term :P
      • 2010-09-02 24530, 2010

      • kurtjx
        Yllona, i'm using emacs mostly
      • 2010-09-02 24509, 2010

      • kurtjx
        there is a n3 mode i use for ontology editing altho for this project i think there won't be much ontology editing
      • 2010-09-02 24546, 2010

      • kurtjx
        altho i do need to create a small ontology for media formats - an extension of the Music Ontology which covers just about everything
      • 2010-09-02 24557, 2010

      • Yllona
        ah, well. i'm impressed (really). would you be interested in something more advanced? i have some vendor love to share, but can't catch up with Ruaok
