  Building a portabledashboard Ideas for the Bolton triplestore
• 2.
  Bunch of stuffI’ve been messing with • Triple Store – For Data • XSLT -to convert SPARQL XML into something more useful • Crunch! – Rapache server to crunch Data • Apache Rave – Widget Container • Apache Wookie – To run Widgets • OpenAjax Hub – So Widgets can talk to each other
• 3.
  (Using Dbpedia untilUoB give me access to the triplestore..)
• 4.
  This Widget sendsSPARQL query to rApache which runs them on triplestore and does some crunching. Results are returned to widget and shared with visualisation widgets (hard coded atm- naughty!)
• 5.
  Next stage.. • Communicationdashboard • Alert me to things that look worrying • Widgets that contact people who need to know
• 6.
  Problems so far •Cross Domain Javascript – CORS • Incorrect Data in Wikipedia? • My SPARQL is a tad rubbish • Widgets require OpenAjax Hub and are not portable – Unless you port the whole dashboard • Hard getting data into the format a visualisation library wants
• 7.
  TODO • Improve mySPARQL – Easy to mess up and pull back false results • Link to Bolton Triplestore instead of Dbpedia • Write a communication dashboard to send information to people who care • Improve intelligence widgets • Think about Dashboard Portability
