Welkin: A General-Purpose RDF Browser

Posted by timothy on from the what-am-I-thinking-about dept.

Stefano Mazzocchi writes "Many consider the Semantic Web to be vaporware and others believe it's the next big thing. No matter where you stand, a question always pops up: Where is the RDF browser? The SIMILE Project, a joint project between W3C, MIT and HP to implement semantic interoperability of metadata in digital libraries, released today the first beta release of a general purpose graphic and interactive RDF browser named Welkin (see a screenshot), targetted to those who need to get a mental model of any RDF dataset, from a single RSS 1.0 news feed to a collection of digital data."

    This is a protocol written BY ASSHATS to be used by OTHER ASSHATS.
    Stop polluting taxonomy with randomness.
