GnowsisApiRequirements

Write here what you think that would be useful to get from gnowsis. The following gnowsis components are available in principle, offering both service/database oriented features and also GUI features:

Requirements

LeoSauermann: My requirements would be that I can run SPARQL and SERQL queries from outside and extract data from gnowsis. I would like to write a gnowsis client that runs from within applications like Microsoft Powerpoint or Ultima Online.

Frank: I'd like to run SPARQL/SERQL queries from outside, querying the _complete_ data that is available in Gnowsis, and not just a part of it (like it is in the current SPARQL interface querying only the crawled part of it)

I'd need in particular:

  • Mail: folders and mails: folder structure, folder and mail labels (subject), sender, receivers, and content. Perfect would be full access to all mail headers. For example, it would be very useful to know whether a mail is from a mailinglist or not (list-id header). This is most probably too much overhead for most Gnowsis use cases, but it would be great if I could either a) configure it which headers to return (my favourite solution ;-) ) or b) patch my own Gnowsis by adding a few lines in the appriopriate code file.
  • Addressbook: Contacts with name, email... It would be nice if I could find out the source of a foaf:Person easily (it makes a difference if a Foaf person was extracted from a CC in a mail or from the addressbook, you certainly don't want every mail receiver in your PIMO)
  • File Folders and Files: structure, labels (filenames), and fulltext

Jon: We have written our application in .Net and are capturing operating system events. We would like to contact gnowsis via a Joseki-like interface. For example, we would like to call methods like this:

  public String getQueryResultAsRDFXML()
  

Somebody: RSS Feeds!
