Semantic Radar - Many Languages, Same Web of Data

Good to know that someone finds your work useful. Even better to see that the Semantic Web and finding its data is important to people speaking many languages throughout the world as you can see in this selection of articles in many different languages (re. Semantic Radar and the Ping Service):

Semantic Radar for Firefox [FOAF] on "Searching the next generation web":

Recently I read about Semantic Radar over at Frédérick Giasson’s weblog. Semantic Radar is a plug-in for Firefox, notifying the user if it finds SIOC, FOAF or DOAP data referenced by the page he or she is currently viewing. When such data is detected a little icon will appear on the bottom right side of you browser, which lets you access the embedded data easily.

I really like this little helper!

In Japanese:
Semantic Radar for FireFox ???????????????????? on Huixing weblog [FOAF].
In Korean:
SIOC: ??? ? ??? ??? ???? ?? ?? on IBM DeveloperWorks Korea.
In Polish:
Semantic Radar + Ping the Semantic Web.com on TheTarPit [FOAF]
In Russian:
????? ????????????? ?????????? - ?????????? Firefox on SemanticFind [FOAF,SIOC].
In Spanish:
Una extensión de Firefox para la web sem?ntica on Depuesdegoogle. He has a nice picture of Radar in action:

Semantic Radar and SIOC in action

Karl Dubost has a different approach:
Pot-au-feu sémantique [SIOC] - in this article (in French, naturellement) he wonders about the food qualities of the FOAF+SIOC+SKOS mix. I hope it tasted good. B)

Note: [FOAF] and [SIOC] indicate what metadata would a Semantic Radar tell you about if you visited that page.

When I visited a page of a friend I noticed that it wasnt detected by that extension. I made some test and think that I have found the problem. The site has a foaf.rdf (linked via link), but I send as application/xhtml+xml (because it is XHTML).
When I copied the site do my webserver and removed the Content-Type header this extension notifies me about the foaf with a icon.

I am using firefox 2.0.1 and Semantic Radar 0.8.1

Moshroum, thanks for reporting a problem.

Could you give me a link to the XHTML which you were looking at using the Semantic Radar (and which has the problem you just described)? I'd want to see it myself.

Happy New Year !!! :)

Moshroum: For some reason the host was in spam filter's blacklist. Fixed that.

My first guess is that when the document is processed as strict XHTML the application (Firefox or Semantic Radar) behaves differently. And therefore does not detect the link to FOAF data.

I will see what this difference is.

A friend of mine send me following patch and that you should read http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Introduction_to_using_XPath_in_JavaScript#Parameters to understand it.

It is not trivial and not extreme clean, but the best thing he could do (which worked).

Moshroum: Fixed, and please say thanks from me to your friend. You can download a newer version from: http://sioc-project.org/firefox

You and your friend are also welcome to suggest ideas for improvement of Semantic Radar. If you are not on the mailing list, take a look, you may find it useful:
