Description

Wandora is an Open Source Java application for building and managing topic maps. Wandora has a graphical user interface, several data storage options, and rich data extraction, import and export capabilities. Wandora is well suited for rapid ontology construction and knowledge mashups.

We would like to focus on how to use Wandora as a semantic extraction tool, and demonstrate how to use Wandora to do semantic mashups. This is a hands-on workshop which is targeted towards developers interested in Topic Maps, Semantic Web technologies or web mash-ups.

We will use a few of the many interesting Wandora extractors to generate topic maps. Possible extractors include MP3, FreeDB (music CD metadata), Internet Movie Database, generic SQL database, BibTeX, Flickr, YouTube, Digg, Del.icio.us, some microformats (geo, adr, hcalendar, hcard), OpenCalais, OpenCyc, Wikipedia, Geonames and Wordnet.
