Read the Information Sharing and RDF books, both were atrocious. W3C and Wikipedia content much more informative. Halfway through "Visualizing the Semantic Web", and obtained second edition. Began posting notes and links below from the Information Sharing book.

Polished my Python and identified first project to understand: [[ccPublisher]]. Read through wiki page and [http://yergler.net/talks/p82_architecture/ Nathan's talk].

=== Notes and Links ===

==== Information Sharing on the Semantic Web ====

This book's one good idea is that ontologies should be modular and have a separate layer to allow for easy integration with other ontologies. Also has interesting section on the ontology of statistics. The rest of the book lays out platitudes and mainly references other German researchers. The beginning of my notes (to be continued):

* Preface
** The main thesis of this book is that the problem of information sharing (finding and integration) is only solvable by giving the computer better access to the ''semantics'' of the information.
* Part 1: Information Sharing and Ontologies
** Chapter 1: Semantic Integration
*** Explicit representations of information semantics are needed in a weakly structured environment.
*** Focus on semantic integration and content-based filtering.
*** Heterogeneity studied by intelligent information integration and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_database distributed database] communities.
*** Heterogeneity problems can be divided into three categories: syntax, structure, and semantics.
*** Syntax problems solved by standards: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ODBC ODBC], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML HTML], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SGML SGML]->[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XML XML] ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XML_Schema XML Schema], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Document_Type_Definition DTD]), [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resource_Description_Framework RDF] ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RDF_Schema RDF Schema]), etc.
*** XML provides the framework but not the semantics.
*** XML Schema constrains the ''structure'' of XML documents while RDF Schema defines the ''vocabulary'' used in RDF data models.

=== Progress ===

Read the Information Sharing and RDF books, both were atrocious. W3C and Wikipedia content much more informative. Halfway through "Visualizing the Semantic Web", and obtained second edition. Began posting notes and links below from the Information Sharing book.

Polished my Python and identified first project to understand: [[ccPublisher]]. Read through wiki page [http://yergler.net/talks/p82_architecture/ Nathan's talk], need to dig through [http://mirrors.creativecommons.org/developer/doc/p6/current/ P6 documentation] ([http://epydoc.sourceforge.net/ Epydoc] page) and read up on [http://www.zope.org/DevHome/Wikis/DevSite/Projects/ComponentArchitecture/FrontPage Zope3].

=== Notes and Links ===

==== Information Sharing on the Semantic Web ====

This book's one good idea is that ontologies should be modular and have a separate layer to allow for easy integration with other ontologies. Also has interesting section on the ontology of statistics. The rest of the book lays out platitudes and mainly references other German researchers. The beginning of my notes (to be continued):

* Preface
** The main thesis of this book is that the problem of information sharing (finding and integration) is only solvable by giving the computer better access to the ''semantics'' of the information.
* Part 1: Information Sharing and Ontologies
** Chapter 1: Semantic Integration
*** Explicit representations of information semantics are needed in a weakly structured environment.
*** Focus on semantic integration and content-based filtering.
*** Heterogeneity studied by intelligent information integration and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_database distributed database] communities.
*** Heterogeneity problems can be divided into three categories: syntax, structure, and semantics.
*** Syntax problems solved by standards: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ODBC ODBC], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML HTML], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SGML SGML]->[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XML XML] ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XML_Schema XML Schema], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Document_Type_Definition DTD]), [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resource_Description_Framework RDF] ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RDF_Schema RDF Schema]), etc.
*** XML provides the framework but not the semantics.
*** XML Schema constrains the ''structure'' of XML documents while RDF Schema defines the ''vocabulary'' used in RDF data models.

ccPublisher is Creative Commons's tool for generating license information for a file and optionally uploading it to the [http://archive.org Internet Archive] for free hosting. ccPublisher also serves as a platform for development of other CC enabled tools. We are currently working on ccPublisher 2, which is primarily an "internal improvement" release. No new features will be added, but the code base has received significant attention in order to enable easier addition of features and development of derivative works.

For information on using ccPublisher, see the [http://creativecommons.org/tools/ccpublisher ccPublisher page at creativecommons.org]. It has pictures.

'''NOTE FOR DEVELOPERS'''
ccPublisher has moved its active source code repository from [http://sf.net/projects/cctools SourceForge.net] to [http://developer.berlios.de/projects/cctools Berlios.de]. For details on CC projects at Berlios, see [[ccTools Berlios]].

=== Overview ===
* [[ccPublisher 2 Architecture]] Design documents for the ccPublisher 2.0 architecture (and P6 core).
* [[ccPublisher 2 Roadmap]] Target dates for releases and features to be included in each.
* [http://mirrors.creativecommons.org/developer/doc/p6/current/ Autogenerated API documentation]

=== Getting the Code ===
* [[Developing ccPublisher 2]] (including instructions for checking out a sandbox from Subversion)
* [[Extending ccPublisher 2]]
* [[Customizing ccPublisher 2]]

We're starting to do pre-releases; information on those is at [[ccPublisher 2 Releases]].
