Syracuse update

Posted on by alanbuxton

I’ve now converted all the topics to RDF format so they can be represented natively in graph format. I essentially made up the RDF (with some inspiration from ChatGPT, naturally) so I’m sure it can be hugely improved.

Next steps I want to do are [a] to make the RDF more in line with appropriate standards and then [b] stitch together topics that relate to the same entity/location to create a timeline.

Non-cherry-picked results of the first example of each type (M&A, Appointment and Location) below. The demo is still running at http://syracuse-1145.herokuapp.com/ and I’d love to hear from anyone who finds the tool interesting.
