5 choses …

Je pensais être épargné, mais Got m’a refilé le colis piegé :)

A mon tour donc d’évoquer 5 choses à mon sujet:

Et pour les 5 suivants, je transmets à Julie, Fred, Kevin, Uldis et John.

Finding doap projects with YubNub

I was writing an opensearch plug-in for doapstore.org to allow searching projects directly from Firefox or IE7 search box, when I remembered yubnub.org, which already have such a plug-in. YubNub allows anyone to create command lines for the web, eg. typing "gim rdf" will search Google images for "rdf".

So rather than creating a plug-in for doapstore, I created a YubNub command, simply called "doap". It works as follow:

The other advantage of YubNub is that it can be used not only as a search engine for your favourite browser, but also has various frontends, as Tiger widgets or command line scripts fro shell. Really useful !

NB: I also thaught as a generic SPARQL command for YubNub that would query different endpoints as Danny Ayers suggested and return a single set of results thanks to a SPARQL dispatcher but did not write anything about it.
