Google supporting Semantic Web development this summer
Thu, 2010-05-13 23:58 | by Samuel Lampa
As going to work on a semantic web related Google Summer of Code project, I thought it'd be interesting to spot the other semantic web projects, students and mentors. Dissecting the list of accepted projects, searching the title field for "semantic" or "RDF", revealed seven projects, and after double-checking the project info I'm left with four (please report if I have missed a project!):
| Student | Project Title | Mentor |
| Yigang Zhou | DSpace 2.0 Storage Service Implementations Based on Semantic Content Repository | Mark Diggory |
| Samuel Lampa | General RDF export/import in Semantic MediaWiki | Denny Vrandecic |
| Sanyam Goyal | Javascript overhaul of Semantic MediaWiki | Yaron Koren |
| Lin Clark | Data Visualization for RDF data [Drupal] | Laura Scott |
| Anurag Priyam | Develop an API for NeXML I/O, and, RDF triples for BioRuby | Rutger Vos |

Scala project about RDF?
Samuel, not all 'semantic' is RDF... are you sure the Scala project is about RDF? It seems more about educating Eclipse about the linguistic semantics of Scala... do you have further info on that project? Same really applies for the Cytoscape project, which also seems to be about linguistic semantics, and oriented at text mining...
Indeed, might be true ... I
Indeed, might be true ... I better check this up ...
