[xOperator-public] [ANN] xOperator 0.1 (Semantic XMPP / Jabber Agent)

[Sebastian D. <die...@in...>]

Hi all,

The AKSW research group (http://aksw.org) is pleased to announce the first 
public release of our semantic xmpp / jabber agent xOperator.

xOperator combines advantages of social network websites with instant 
messaging. It tries to be a semantic agent for xmpp / jabber network which 
finds and shares content about resources (using RDF / SPARQL) for you and 
your jabber friends.

This first release includes the following features:

* basic xmpp account management (user account, proxy account)
* management of query templates, datastores and namespaces directly with
   your jabber client
* simple query templates for easy starting with xOperator
* query scripts in groovy for advanced queries and post processing

Inspired by Tim Berners-Lee's Semantic Agent the xOperator lifts personal 
knowledge exchange to a new level. Imagine sharing exactly the information 
you want with the people you trust. Need a phone number? Want to know the 
birthday of your best friends girlfriend (and in a second step where to 
buy her a present in a store near you)? Do you get tired to tell everybody 
that you have a new cellphone number? xOperator enables users to share all 
that knowledge in a trusted network. Built upon the already existing 
jabber network (secure connections, widely available) an agent running on 
your pc allows other users to query your RDF-database returning the favor 
to you.
