It's not especially useful thus far but it is interesting to keep an eye on what Tim Berners-Lee (a name I recognise from somewhere) is up to!

rmccabe916, that does a different thing, looking at the structure of a given HTML page. RDF is a different XML language, used to encode information that can be connected together.

E.g. at http://my.opera.com/chaals/xml/foaf/ you can find an RDF file about me (it is some of the public data from my.opera about me). It points to some other files, too. If you load my file into tabulator, you can then follow links to the other files, and load them in as well, adding to the graph.

(You can also look up some stuff on maps, where the data includes references to places, and you can run queries on all the data you have loaded, and so on)

I found a simpler version of this while searching the web. It can be found here: http://www.aharef.info/static/htmlgraph/

Too bad it runs in Java, though.

thx

Basti2015, it is for browsing RDF information - "the semantic web". So you can find some data that is linked to other data and start looking around.

RDF is meant mostly for machines, rather than people, to read, but this tool presents a lot of useful information (the connections between people, projects, pictures, and each other, for example) in a way that uses the RDF to make something people can read.

(It is also useful for semantic web developers, of course).

This is a large area of information management - if that is your field then it is something you should be aware of.

If you're looking for something that looks cool, you might like to try the aquarium widget or something else - this is a technical demo, not something that is really important for everyone to have. (And it isn't the prettiest application there ever was. First step is to make it work...)

One example, of what RDF is good for in general:

The power of the semantic web is building things that are like databases, but more easily connected. If you build a jetliner, you probably have information about who worked on what part of the plane, on how old your staff are, on what areas have caused problems in eng

im sorry i dont know and i cant imagine what this is good for...
maybe you could improve the description
