Web414 - Milwaukee's Web Community

February 2009 Web414 Meeting — Thursday, February 12th, 2009 — 7pm

Topics: "Show and Make" session

James Carlson will run a "Show and Make" session, where a technology is presented, and you then get some hands-on experience with it.

Here's what James had to say: I will facilitate a show and make session where participants will be given a brief demonstration of the use of Exhibit, a web-based open-source tool that takes datasets and turns them into timelines, geo-mashups, and faceted browsing experiences. The conversation will cover the basics of RDF. Participants will then be challenged to break out and create their own Exhibit using commonly-available datasets. This fast-paced exercise will give everyone who plays basic experience with RDF, faceted browsing, and mashups of datasets as well as scraping and culling data from websites.
