Hi,

For those that care, I just migrated the libwww CVS repository
to github:

https://github.com/w3c/libwww

All the CVS history was preserved.

Cheers,

1st CFP: IJCAI-11 Workshop on Discovering Meaning On the Go in Large & Heterogeneous Data (LHD-11)

Apologies for cross-posting

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Call for papers for LHD-11 workshop at IJCAI-11, July 2011, Barcelona:

Discovering Meaning On the Go in Large & Heterogeneous Data

http://dream.inf.ed.ac.uk/events/lhd-11/
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

An interdisciplinary approach is necessary to discover and match meaning
dynamically in a world of increasingly large data.  This workshop aims
to bring together practitioners from academia, industry and government
for interaction and discussion.  The workshop will feature:

*  A panel discussion representing industrial and governmental input,
entitled "Big Society meets Big Data: Industry and Government
Applications of Mapping Meaning".  Panel members will include:
 *  Peter Mika (Yahoo!)
 *  Alon Halevy (Google)
 *  Tom McCutcheon (Dstl)
 *  (tbc)
*  An invited talk from Fausto Giunchglia, discussing the relationship
between social computing and ontology matching;
*  Paper and poster presentations;
*  Workshop sponsored by: Yahoo! Research, W3C and others

Workshop Description

The problem of semantic alignment - that of two systems failing to
understand one another when their representations are not identical -
occurs in a huge variety of areas: Linked Data, database integration,
e-science, multi-agent systems, information retrieval over structured
data; anywhere, in fact, where semantics or a shared structure are
necessary but centralised control over the schema of the data sources is
undesirable or impractical. Yet this is increasingly a critical problem
in the world of large scale data, particularly as more and more of this
kind of data is available over the Web.

In order to interact successfully in an open and heterogeneous
environment, being able to dynamically and adaptively integrate large
and heterogeneous data from the Web "on the go" is necessary. This may
not be a precise process but a matter of finding a good enough
integration to allow interaction to proceed successfully, even if a
complete solution is impossible.

Considerable success has already been achieved in the field of ontology
matching and merging, but the application of these techniques - often
developed for static environments - to the dynamic integration of
large-scale data has not been well studied.

Presenting the results of such dynamic integration to both end-users and
database administrators - while providing quality assurance and
provenance - is not yet a feature of many deployed systems. To make
matters more difficult, on the Web there are massive amounts of
information available online that could be integrated, but this
information is often chaotically organised, stored in a wide variety of
data-formats, and difficult to interpret.

This area has been of interest in academia for some time, and is
becoming increasingly important in industry and - thanks to open data
efforts and other initiatives - to government as well. The aim of this
workshop is to bring together practitioners from academia, industry and
government who are involved in all aspects of this field: from those
developing, curating and using Linked Data, to those focusing on
matching and merging techniques.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

* Integration of large and heterogeneous data
* Machine-learning over structured data
* Ontology evolution and dynamics
* Ontology matching and alignment
* Presentation of dynamically integrated data
* Incentives and human computation over structured data and ontologies
* Ranking and search over structured and semi-structured data
* Quality assurance and data-cleansing
* Vocabulary management in Linked Data
* Schema and ontology versioning and provenance
* Background knowledge in matching
* Extensions to knowledge representation languages to better support change
* Inconsistency and missing values in databases and ontologies
* Dynamic knowledge construction and exploitation
* Matching for dynamic applications (e.g., p2p, agents, streaming)
* Case studies, software tools, use cases, applications
* Open problems
* Foundational issues
Applications and evaluations on data-sources that are from the Web and
Linked Data are particularly encouraged.

Submission

LHD-11 invites submissions of both full length papers of no more than 6
pages and position papers of 1-3 pages. Authors of full-papers which are
considered to be both of a high quality and of broad interest to most
attendees will be invited to give full presentations; authors of more
position papers will be invited to participate in "group panels" and in
a poster session.

All accepted papers (both position and full length papers) will be
published as part of the IJCAI workshop proceedings, and will be
available online from the workshop website. After the workshop, we will
be publishing a special issue of the Artificial Intelligence Review and
authors of the best quality submissions will be invited to submit
extended versions of their papers (subject to the overall standard of
submissions being appropriately high).

All contributions should be in pdf format and should be uploaded via
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=lhd11. Authors should follow
the IJCAI author instructions
http://ijcai-11.iiia.csic.es/calls/formatting_instructions.

migrating to 64 bit

Robert Schaefer — 2010-12-13T18:11:12

Hi,
   I am migrating open source packages from redhat EL5 on 32 bit 
machines to 64 bit machines.
   I found a problem with some packages that now need the -m32 flag 
passed into gcc for
   the executable to work properly.

   w3c-libwww appears to not have the -m32 flag, and the linker, ld 
complains when I link to it with  a mix
   of files some built to run in 32 bit mode and some built 64 bit.

  Is there a way to configure  w3c-libwww for the 32 bit mode on a 64 
bit box?

thank you,
   bob schaefer

installing using apt-get

Gevorg Harutyunyan — 2010-06-20T09:28:18

Hi,

Could you please hint how can I install www-lib using apt-get.

I am using Ubuntu 10.04.

Thank You!

Is the 5.4.0 ZIP distribution really 5.3.2 ? And what I had to do to make it even build successfully with MS VC6 SP6

2010-01-21T20:54:28

Ok, something is strange. I am assuming this is place to start getting
libwww source...

   http://www.w3.org/Library/

The Get It! link there takes you to...

   http://www.w3.org/Library/Distribution.html

The Latest Tar Ball Release section says you can get 5.4.0 here...

   http://www.w3.org/Library/Distribution/w3c-libwww-5.4.0.zip

But when you unzip that, you get a ChangeLog that has 5.3.2 as the release,
and a Library/src/windows/config.h file that has W3C_VERSON defined as
"5.3.1".  The same is true for the .tgz file in the same place.

Similarly, the Libwww_V5.4.0.EXE installer for Windows binaries, available
from ftp://ftp.idm.ru/libwww/  (suggested by the Distribution page),
installs a ChangeLog in c:\Program Files\Libwww that indicates 5.3.2 is the
latest release. (There is no source installed with that installer, other
than the ChangeLog file.)

Similarly, checking out the source from CVS using the tag Release-5-4-0
gets you a ChangeLog that says 5.3.2 and a  Library/src/windows/config.h
file that has W3C_VERSON defined as "5.3.1".




Oh, also: ***IT DOESN'T BUILD***  ;)  in MS VC6 SP6 out of the box. Its
world.dsw will build only if you...

   1. disable HT_POSIX_REGEX in Library/src/windows/config.h  (because
   regex.h is not included in the distribution, contrary to build
   instructions);

   2. disable HT_EXPAT there as well (no xmlparser.dll (sic - I think that
   really should read "xmlparse.dll") or xmltok.dll in the distribution,
   contrary to instructions);

   3. disable HT_ZLIB there as well (the distribution has no zlib.h);

   4. Click "Exclude file from build" for "gnu_regex.lib" in wwwapp.dsw (no
   such file in the distribution again);

   5. Similarly exclude xmlparse.lib from wwwinit.dsdw ( no such file in
   the distribution);

   6. Remove wwwxml.dsw from world.dsw since we can't build it at all
   without having HT_EXPAT defined . (This removes wwwxml.dsw as a
   dependency from projects in world.dsw, but some of those dependences may
   have been important.)

   7. Similarly remove wwwzip.dsw from world.dsw since we can't build it at
   all without having HT_ZLIB defined;

   8. Similarly remove WinCom.dsw from world.dsw (almost none of its files
   are present in the distribution);


The build instructions do not tell you where to get the pieces that are
missing from this distribution ZIP file, though I imagine they must be in
CVS .
