[iks-community] Invitation to IKS Semantic Search Workshop -November 12-13, 2009, Rome, Italy

[Axel Polleres]

Likewise looking forward to seeing you in the IKS Semantic Search  
Workshop!

I will (together with Juergen Umbrich, who shall send a separate mail)  
our ideas
on Semantic Search over networked, RDF-enabled Drupal sites [1].

Our approach is to regularly crawl and index those sites with a  
specialised instance of
our house-made semantic search engine SWSE [2] which offers not only a  
search interface
but also a SPARQL endpoint that let' you query over those sites.  
Additionally, if you want
to have specific, current site information our Drupal modules enable  
separate live SPARQL endpoints
locally on the sites. See also the architecture that Stéphane posted  
earlier on this list. [3]
