Exhibit-ionism

Started by Kendall · 10 months ago

Exhibit really is charming. I did an experimental Exhibit of my publications, as listed on DBLP. I hacked up a little XSLT to scrape my DBLP pages for Bibtex (which is available; it’s like 14 xslt lines which is like 2 lines for you and me). Details are on the Exhibit itself.% ...

    Hi,
    Instead of using XSLT, you could also use directly the RDF access to DBLP : http://www4.wiwiss.fu-berlin.de/dblp/
    Normally a Sparql query can give you all the needed data.
    Did you try this way ?

    I didn't know about that site. It looks handy.

    I might try the experiment of extracting stuff via this RDFization. Though, the XSLT is pretty trivial and has done the job.

    Fresnel (http://www.w3.org/2005/04/fresnel-info/) is a declarative format for how RDF should be presented. None of the interactive features that Exhibit gives you, would be possible. Maybe. But it could be a nice way to have a RDF-driven homepage.

    I'm aware of Fresnel (and, indeed, we use it in JSpace.

    My point is completely distinct from RDF. My point is that there is a lot of Javascript + CSS out there that make many sites way more usable (for certainly classes of users, including me!), but I wish more of these interactive features were available without having to use an idiosyncratic implementation of them in a full fledged, but inconsistently implemented, programming language.

    Javascript programmers have done amazing things (just see OAT), but I like web pages to be safer than they are and still usable. Some things are easy to roll in (toggling visibility of text...that should be built in; footnotes; lots of widgets). They would be easier to use as well (though the best Javascript libraries do a pretty good job of making widgets plug and go).

    Finally, none of the Fresnel implementations have one of the most charming features of Exhibit: working in standalone pages. It's obviously not impossible to make one up, but doing it straight from RDF would probably be pretty painful. Something Fresnelish tuned for Exhibit databases would certainly be easier to get going, I'd imagine.
