I'll show you how to create a Python module which wraps the Google Spreadsheets Data API web service in an interface so that it looks like a local database. Using this tool, your application can run anywhere with Internet connectivity and users will be able to take their data with them. The benefit of using Google Spreadsheets for a back-end is that it provides a simple UI which is easy for non programmers to interact with. The cost of provisioning and running a Spreadsheets based database is zero from the perspective of an application developer. This example module provides a toolkit which simplifies interactions with the Google Spreadsheets API for a specific use case: using a spreadsheet like a remote database.

SCooP aims at joining people from different fields, such as math, computer science, chemistry, physics, biology etc., who are interested in Community of Practice (CoPs). The workshop shall facilitate the exchange of experiences and implementations. In particular, to address questions such as:
* What are scientific or educational practices in educational and scientific communities?
* Can these practice be automatically detected/ collected/ or modeled?
* What are implementations for CoPs?
* Which features make these tools so attractive and how do they support (practices of) CoPs?

for the 2008 IIIS' Conferences
The Organizing Committees of 2008 IIIS' conferences decided to implement pre- and post-Conference virtual sessions for the 2008 IIIS' Conferences. This decision was based on the experiment, related to this kind of virtual sessions, done in the 2006 IIIS' conferences; on some of the suggestions that 2006 conversational sessions generated, and on the survey made among the participants of these conferences. Each pre- and post-conference virtual session will be associated, in one-to-one relationship, to each face-to-face session of the conference.

The explicit representation of the semantics of data, enriched with domain theories (ontologies), will enable a web that provides a qualitatively new level of service. It will weave together a large network of human knowledge and makes this knowledge machine-processable. Various automated services will help the users to achieve their goals by accessing and processing information in machine-understandable form. This network of knowledge systems will ultimately lead to truly intelligent systems, which will be employed for various complex decision-making tasks. Semantic Web research can benefit from ideas and cross-fertilization with many other areas: Artificial Intelligence, Natural Language Processing, Databases and Information Systems, Information Retrieval, Multimedia, Distributed Systems, Social Networks and Web Engineering. Many advances within these areas can contribute towards the realization of the Semantic Web.

We are interested in reviewing existing semantic wiki systems against the core wiki principles and thus identifying possibilities to improve them, in applying semantic technologies to existing wiki sites such as Wikipedia in order to make them even more productive for mass collaboration, but also in innovative, entirely new ideas for semantic wikis.
Semantic Wikis try to combine the strengths of Semantic Web (machine processable, data integration, complex queries) and Wiki (easy to use and contribute, strongly interconnected, collaborativeness) technologies. Goals are diverse and include:
* simple annotations of existing Wiki content;
* tools that guide users from informal knowledge contained in texts to more formal structures;
* full-fledged tools for ontology editing where the text is no longer in the focus of the system.
Semantic Wikis contain in an integrated fashion many of the core challenges of the Semantic Web community: authoring, versioning, interlinked data, semantic browsing, semantic annotating, semantic diffs, semantic search and getting overview. In a Semantic Wiki, such methods have to be integrated into a coherent whole, while still remaining lightweight and easy to use. In this workshop, we investigate how these challenges can be tackled in an integrated fashion.

The data is stored in JSON files and loaded into a Javascript-based database inside your browser where it is queried off to build the faceted browsing UI.
You can copy the data off those web pages using the Copy All buttons. Or you can download the individual data files here. You can also download the ENTIRE web application as a zip file, and it still works locally with absolute ZERO setup on your part. When was the last time you could "steal" someone else's web application wholesale, data and presentation code all included?!
