Hi,
I've been experimenting with Google Maps and the Oxford Guide's RDF:
Pubs: http://www.gmaptrack.com/map/locations/22/41
Colleges: http://www.gmaptrack.com/map/locations/22/40
Does anyone object if I add links to these maps to the wiki? They're
quite basic at the moment, but could be useful with a bit more work.
Is the full RDF for the site available anywhere in a zip or similar?
So far, I've just been downloading each page as I need it, but that's
a bit hard on the webserver, and also means I might miss things.
Cheers
Inigo

This looks very interesting. Is this generated automatically - ie will
it poll for new data in the pub category? I think for it to be really
useful it'd need to do that.

Sure, go ahead (if you want to add to the home page you can munge the
URL manually, btw - the edit page link is disabled on the home page
simply because it's a prime candidate for defacing).

will get you the whole lot. As long as you poll sensibly and cache data,
it shouldn't be that much of a problem. Maintaining a static archive
would probably be more effort than it's worth.
You might want to join the openguides-dev list as there are a couple of
people on there interested on doing cool things with RDF spidering:

Generated automatically with a bit of Python and rdflib. I need to
hook it up to the Recent Changes feed though so it will update.

Will do.

Ta - looking through the archives now.
