LiDRC Lab
Linked Data Research Centre (LiDRC) Laboratory
The LiDRC Lab is a collection of tools and demos we are working on in the Linked Data Research Centre, DERI at NUI Galway.
Experimental Tools & Services
In the table below you'll find tools and services we are experimenting with. They are likely not stable and are subject to (rapid) change.
| Description | Contact | |
|---|---|---|
| The DATA.gov Catalog | A facetted-browsing repository of the DATA.gov content. | Richard Cyganiak |
| dcat-GridWorks integration | A self-service Linked Government Data workbench based on Freebase GridWorks . It enables reading government catalogs represented in dcat, cleansing tabular datasets using all of GridWorks' cool capabilities, and then exporting the result as RDF data. | Fadi Maali |
| Rooms in the DERI building | Lists rooms inside the DERI building. At the same time, the page contains RDFa markup and defines permanent web identifiers (URIs) for the floors, wings, rooms and desks in the building. | Richard Cyganiak |
| ve2, the voiD editor | A tool that allows you to generate a voiD file in RDF Turtle format. Lets you define the characteristics of your linked dataset, such as categories, interlinking, technical features, licensing and the like, inspect the result as well as allows you to announce voiD files. | Michael Hausenblas |
| vox, the Dataset Explorer | Allows to explore Linked Datasets for which a voiD file has been made available. Further, it allows to interact with the dataset, such as its SPARQL endpoint, if available. | Michael Hausenblas |
| omniQ | An experimental service that allows you to store and execute SPARQL queries in a collaborative fashion. See the blog post Towards Web-based SPARQL query management and execution for more background information. | Michael Hausenblas |
| Ya3, yet another aLODin agent | A simple demo for 'a LOD cloud of interaction' (aLODin). See the Entity-Action vocabulary and the Ya3 source code for more details. | Michael Hausenblas |
