ramm.x poster at SAMT07

At SAMT 2007, the 2nd international conference on Semantics And digital Media Technologies a ramm.x poster has been accepted for the project and demo session.

Web Data Models and ramm.x

Michael Bergman has written an excellent report on Web Data Models in the realm of UMBEL, a lightweight, universal subject reference structure for the Web. He also mentions ramm.x:

[...] ramm.x is a good candidate source for UMBEL characterizations because of its breadth in format and metadata coverage. The specification is also well prepared.

Thanks Michael! We'll certainly continue to work hard on it - not only to provide well written specs, but also implement stuff ;)

Upcoming: Presenting ramm.x at the Cultural Heritage workshop at ISWC07, a poster at SAMT07, and a reference implementation for a ramm.x agent. Stay tuned ...

How to RDFize ID3

As Oscar recently explained in the ramm.x discussion group, an RDFizing service for ID3 is available. I wonder if someone else also has tried to RDFize ID3 or other audio metadata, alike?
