Welcome to lotico - an open, distributed community, a Semantic Social Network that brings Location, Time, Community and concepts together for You and more than 79,000 members worldwide.

featured event:

Jena XX
20 Years of Jena - A Java API for RDF
August 2020


lotico.com is your gateway to an open community that shares a common interest in Data on the Web and the Semantic Web vision, a common framework for data to be shared and reused across applications, platforms and community boundaries. If you live, work or visit a location with an active community and you are interested to participate you are welcome to join. lotico develops and promotes standards, and cooperates closely with standard groups in particular with regards to Semantic Web technologies and data on the web.

Jena-based Components for Building Semantic Web Applications

The basics of RDF and SPARQL may seem simple enough at first, but once one starts to develop a prototype, one quickly stumbles upon the same recurrent problems, such as: How can performance be improved by means of query caching? How can we deal with blank nodes? How to deal with result set limits? A session with Claus Stadler April 2020.

A hands-on overview to produce, consume and work with Linked Data using RDF.rb and the programming language Ruby. Topics covered include: Understanding the RDF.rb object model, learning how to manipulate, parse and serialize RDF in popular formats such as Turtle, JSON-LD, and RDFa. Create and publish RDF using a Ruby-based web-framework such as Sinatra, storing RDF in various repository, including SQL DBs. Query local RDF repositories using the native SPARQL engine, access and update remote SPARQL endpoints using a SPARQL client.

A conversation with Andy Seaborne about Jena, SPARQL, TDB and RDF at scale recorded live at the Lotico Semantic Web event in San Francisco

Linked Data in Watson:Using The Semantic Web To Answer Questions

A team at IBM Research is working to build Watson, a computing system that can understand and answer complex questions with enough precision and speed to compete against the best human quiz show competitors. As with the previous AI grand challenge attempted at IBM Research, (playing chess at a grand master level) the principle challenges for machines to achieve expert performance are fundamentally different than for people.
