So I've been pondering this for a few days, and I don't (yet) have a good
solution. But I have an itch growing, and I need to dump it here before I
totally forget it.
Currently the RDF view of a page doesn't give the current Categories or
Locales. I'd like to include these as some kind of a link to the Category or
Locale page ... I'm thinking something like an rdf:seeAlso, but that really
isn't descriptive enough. This is where I got stuck working on this idea, I
couldn't find a decent RDF vocabulary to give this idea. The closest is
spacenamespace's space:contains ... but that's the inverse of what I want.
Having said that, isn't there a way to invert the process and get all the
nodes in a Category or Locale via the RDF? I know zool asked about something
like that at one point, and it could possibly have made it into the book.
The ultimate purpose of all of this is I'd like to create a little bot to do
OpenGuides searches. Something like mudlondon, though not nearly as
featureful. I just want something that will perform locative searches for me
when I need a resturant to eat lunch at.

I hacked something rough that sort of did this for the London OpenGuide:
http://swordfish.rdfweb.org/discovery/2003/10/whwhwhwh/
code:
http://swordfish.rdfweb.org/discovery/2003/10/whwhwhwh/RDFBot.java
(search for london and you can see the query string I used to get the
rdf)
I remember Kake very kindly making some small alterations so that it
worked.

Yes it does! eg
http://london.openguides.org/?id=Whitgift_Centre%2C_Croydon;format=rdf
<geo:SpatialThing rdf:ID="obj" dc:title="Whitgift Centre,
Croydon">
<!-- categories -->
<dc:subject>Malls</dc:subject>
<dc:subject>Shopping</dc:subject>
<!-- address and geospatial data -->
<city>London</city> <postalCode>CR0 1LP</postalCode>
<country>United Kingdom</country>
<foaf:based_near><wn:Neighborhood><foaf:name>Croydon</foaf:name></wn:Neighborhood></foaf:based_near>
Is that the wrong way to do it?

This is wonderful, but I'd like to have a few Links in there like:
<rdfs:seeAlso
rdf:resource="http://london.openguides.org/index.cgi?action=index;inde…
/>
<rdfs:seeAlso
rdf:resource="http://london.openguides.org/index.cgi?action=index;inde…
/>
and
<rdfs:seeAlso
rdf:resource="http://london.openguides.org/index.cgi?action=index;inde…
/>
in there, perhaps inside the <wn:Neighborhood> along with the <foaf:name>, it
would make moving backwards from a specific node to it's containers easier to
do programmatically.
However I could be going about this all wrong though too, there are aparently
quite a few RDF people who actively listen to this list.

Subject: [OpenGuides-Dev] RDF for Locales and Categories
So I've been pondering this for a few days, and I don't (yet) have a good
solution. But I have an itch growing, and I need to dump it here before I
totally forget it.
Currently the RDF view of a page doesn't give the current Categories or
Locales. I'd like to include these as some kind of a link to the Category or
Locale page ...
Locales were already in there as "Neighborhood" tags. I requested categories
to be put in, back in March this year, and they were as <dc::subject> tags.
see http://openguides.org/mail/openguides-dev/2004-March/000242.html
Having said that, isn't there a way to invert the process and get all the
nodes in a Category or Locale via the RDF? I know zool asked about something
like that at one point, and it could possibly have made it into the book.
This works already:
http://london.openguides.org/index.cgi?action=index;index_type=category;ind…
http://london.openguides.org/index.cgi?action=index;index_type=locale;index…
Should we put an Advanced How To page on http://openguides.org/dev ?
The ultimate purpose of all of this is I'd like to create a little bot to do
OpenGuides searches. Something like mudlondon, though not nearly as
featureful. I just want something that will perform locative searches for me
when I need a resturant to eat lunch at.
That would be cool! It could also aggregate the search over multiple OpenGuides
if asked to.
Ivor.

how it was spelt.
Could do, but I need to figure out how to get it to work at all first :)

We discussed this on IRC. http://openguides.org/dev/ is the place to
fill in holes in the documentation.
