bengee eventually finds a not-yet-taken name for his rdf browser and editor
10:47:35
beenbringpain?
10:47:41
er, beerbringpain
10:47:47
i bought that this morning, sorry
10:47:54
heh, cool
10:48:58
it'll be OS and go under .semsol.org, so there is no immediate need for domain
10:49:16
but grebr.com was still available
10:49:39
*Gr*aph *E*ditor and *Br*owser ;)
10:50:23
a nod towards http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6del,_Escher,_Bach ?
10:51:37
heh, no I'm not that smart
10:52:13
but "grab" and "grep" are nearby
10:57:33
bengee tweaks ARC's mf extractor to accept @alt in img tags as vcard:fn values
10:58:02
proper name extraction from twitter at last

11:15:17
(not reliable - like domain names, anything with <5 letters is already taken for some made-up slang meaning)
11:17:50
heh
11:17:52
hmm, it's in wikipedia, mostly for a 1980's thing
11:19:43
[[ The term "Greebo" appears in Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels, as the name of a cat. Pratchett's definition of a greebo is "Someone who wants to be a Hells Angel, but doesn't have the style." ]]
11:23:36
then "grebr lets people w/o a clue about rdf tech become semweb weavers" ;)
11:27:00
my initial idea was "gbase - like freebase in a box", but then gbase has dozens of other uses already
11:33:43
damn, another bug in the turtle serializer: http://arc.semsol.org/community/irc/logs/2008/01/17#T11:16:47Z
11:33:53
leading, double-quots
11:34:14
bengee fixes
11:51:49
arc-bot, quit
11:53:24

Hi all! Is there an easy way to have the ARC store updated from a directory of files (similar to Virtuoso)? I am thinking about something monitoring the file store for changes and re-loading changed files into the 3ple-store.
17:50:07
hmm..
17:50:53
sounds like an ARC plugin use case.. ;)
17:51:05
I guess this is how many would like to feed their store with data?
17:51:14
Ah, yes.:-)
17:52:27
we've been chatting about background processes and crawling yesterday on #foaf
17:52:42
So, a bit of configuration (root filepath), maybe some filename pattern matching (like *.xht2) and the context URI could be the filepath (e.g. LOAD ... INTO </my/file/path/file.xht2>)
17:53:36
you'd just need a long-running php process that monitors the given directory, and does the DELETE + LOAD on changes
17:54:08
Yes, it sounds simple. I am not sure what features there are in PHP to easily monitor file system changes. Or do I just have to loop over a collection?
17:54:37
...of files.
17:55:08
I only know the loop approach
17:55:26
is the direcory http-accessible?
17:55:35
Yes
17:56:21
some web servers offer a way to sort by last_modified in their directory view, you could use scraping to get the top x entries ;)
17:56:52
lemme check the php spec for a more solid way
17:57:36
Ah, good idea. That should be a simple approach. Maybe there is some shell script to list changed files form the past x hours. That would be easy to call from PHP I guess.
17:57:55
yeah
17:57:59
mortenf, what was the uri of your sparql result 2 table xslt again please?
17:59:09
Here it was: find ~ -mmin -90
18:01:04
If successful, this plugin could be a nice way to have a collection of files with RDF data that is in sync with the ARC store.
18:01:26
Or maybe it doesn't have to be a plugin. It is just a script I guess...
18:02:26
yeah, could fit in a simple script
18:02:48
I'll try it out and see how it works. Bye!
18:02:54
but could also still make sense as a plugin, so that you only have to include ARC, the plugin, and call go()
18:03:02
cool
18:03:53
Yeah. Only difficulty is the long running PHP process. Mosts shared hosts will cap the running time I guess. But a cron job with a simple script could do the trick.
18:04:22
or self-reinvoking via http sockets
18:05:08
bengee, do you have mortenf's table xslt URI? ...or what's the URI of these logs again? :-)
18:05:57
hmm, table xslt, not sure
18:06:12
logs are linked from topic
18:09:02
hmm, the logs' sparql endpoint doesn't find much with xslt in it
18:09:39
but I have the mail somewhere
18:10:10
ah, no, that wasn't by mortenf
18:13:24
ah, got it
18:14:21

excellent, you're a life-saver bengee
18:15:48
welcome :)
