Live DBpedia

this now works:

http://live.dbpedia.org/page/Landscape-Portrait

interesting ! it does not reference any media - so need to look into that -
 I wonder if the ontology used has no attribute called media ? maybe this
is something that can be updated via the DBpedia community ? need to
check if this is the same for the archived/downloaded version - it seems
its mapping are not great  - no media and lots of artist's names as fields,
bit confusing.

RDF linked Data

Just working my way through some RDF DBpedia tutorials and there is the start of some form of structure where by the video data from Landscape-Portrait might be published into the public realm. For example if postcodes are objects within DBpedia, then the video content of LP could be assigned to that name. Then when other users make use of that postcode name, they will be able to access the video content from LP along with descriptive elements such as what was the question being answered etc. Need to draw this out to make sense of it, and maybe run a query of the postcode and see what information is already assisgned to it.

Wikipedia Video Upload

Just finished uploading video from Landscape-Portrait to Wikipedia. It's a very time consuming process and prone to errors which force you to restart the process from scratch. It's taken my 2 hours to upload 18 video clips, including mark up etc. Kept getting errors for long file names, duplicate files names etc. There isn't (for newbie users like me) any batch upload facility which is annoying, anyways its done. The content I uploaded was my interview on the site so I made available within the public domain, where it does not have to be attributed and can be used in whatever manner. For other participants I'll probably use a sharealike attributable licence.

The next part of the project is to access this media through DBpedia using RDF Linked Data, now that might take a time.
