hey bengee: my form templating thing is just roundtripping rdf data through form widgets via the @name, what type of widget you put the data in is up to you
10:40:20
yeah, but I'm starting from an empty resource and a schema
10:41:07
and I need css selectors, i.e. valid IDs or classes
10:41:29
(it's a pure-js framework)
10:43:01
yeah, been thinnking along those lines myself
10:43:35
the rdf in @name thing is a different layer to the problem
10:44:14
have you looked at jsonT at all?
10:45:15
I do have a pretty form now, with popups and mandatory fields, and can hit "save", now I have to somehow generate netsed triples from the values and the initial form def
10:46:34
that's the part the @name thing I came up with helps with
10:46:47
hmm, jsont, think so, but that's at least 1.5 years ago
10:47:11
I'm (as we speak) working on an arc plugin for the rdf-in-@name form thing
10:47:22
hey, cool
10:47:51
I dunno - not actually tried the jsont thing yet - was wondering if rdf/json + jsont = good enough rdf path language?
10:49:24
bengee: if you wanted to try the form syntax, you can point your form at http://convert.test.talis.com/editor and it will transform it to RDF (which you can optionally have posted elsewhere)
10:50:50
yeah, saw that
10:51:12
my forms don't post anywhere, though ;)
10:51:47
it's a wild all-in-js framework
10:52:28
what happens to the data at the end then?
10:52:39
it's sent as triples
10:52:46
where to?
10:53:02
an rdf gateway instance
10:53:42
what's that ? :)
10:53:49
http://arc.semsol.org/community/irc/logs/2008/03/(http://intellidimension.com/)
10:54:17
sent as triples how?
10:55:04
ntriples in a compact json format (similar to php's serialize method) via http post
10:55:50
hmm... RDF Gateway: A platform for the semantic web ... sounds like a rubbish idea... it'll never catch on ;)
10:57:10
heh, they are quite busy for years already, while everybody else is still working on tools
10:57:42
bengee: in that case, wouldn't your simple rdf-in-html syntax work well for capturing the values of the triples?
10:58:12
hmm, no. don't want to parse the html
10:59:06
each form field has a corresponding js object, so I just have to re-build the nestings, which I think I figured out now
10:59:35
ah cool
11:00:10
so the semantics are bound up with the creation of the field in js?
11:02:57
sort-of (if I understood your q correctly)
