07:14:20 mustang: hello everyone
07:14:53 bengee: hi mustang
07:15:00 mustang: Could anybaody explain to me what is meant by resource consolidation
07:15:02 mustang: hi bengee
07:16:02 bengee: a mechanism to identify multiple resources with different names/identifiers as actually being just one resource
07:16:38 bengee: a.k.a smushing
07:16:41 mustang: Can I say a kind of merging resources ?
07:16:46 bengee: yep
07:18:43 mustang: If someone like danbri has a multiple profiles on his blog, livejournal and my.opera, he could load all those documents into arc rdf store and just call $store->consolidate() to find that all those profiles became one?
07:19:53 bengee: that's the idea, yes. the consolidator is still work in progress, though.
07:21:58 mustang: no problem, I'm just checking with ARC2 to see if it will satisfy my needs compared to jena or sesame
07:22:39 bengee: ah. those are much more sophisticated, they have real reasoners, I think
07:23:15 mustang: But ARC seems pretty nice
07:23:27 mustang: like all other php tools, lean and mean
07:23:31 mustang: ;)
07:23:35 bengee: :)
07:33:00 mmmmmrob: mmmmmrob waves to bengee in here
07:33:03 bengee: heya
07:33:28 bengee: the index structures have some manipulation options
07:33:52 bengee: you can do $parser->parse(...)
07:34:03 mmmmmrob: ah, yeah, I could build up an index structure easily
07:34:42 mmmmmrob: so if I do several parses they will add to the graph?
07:34:53 bengee: no
07:35:05 mmmmmrob: oh
07:35:11 bengee: you'd have to mainatin an index, and then to merge()
07:35:31 bengee: there is an example at the end of http://arc.semsol.org/docs/v2/structures
07:35:47 mmmmmrob: mmmmmrob looks at example
07:36:33 bengee: $cur_index = $parser->getSimpleIndex(0)
07:36:34 mmmmmrob: bengee: thanks a lot - that will do me nicely.
07:36:58 bengee: cool
07:37:27 bengee: kwijibo's utils: http://n2.talis.com/svn/playground/kwijibo/PHP/arc/plugins/trunk/ARC2_IndexUtilsPlugin.php
07:37:58 bengee: merge, diff, intersect, ...
07:40:18 bengee: kwijibo's merge method does proper bnode checks, I think
07:40:28 kwijibo: yup
07:41:55 kwijibo: i wish I had a less awkward syntax for the filter function actually
07:43:09 kwijibo: i use merge and diff quite a lot, but filter not as much as I could, because it's a bit awkward
