django-rdf - Project Hosting on Google Code
RDF/SPARQL engine for Django. "Django-RDF can expose models from any other app as RDF data. This makes it easy to write new views that return RDF/XML data, and/or query existing models in terms of RDFS or OWL classes and properties using (a variant of) the SPARQL query language. SPARQL in, RDF/XML out - two basic semantic web necessities."

Google is hosting terabytes of science data for free, will ship you a RAID array to dump yours
I love that they're just sending a 3TB array to anyone who has interesting data - never underestimate the bandwidth potential of a van full of hard drives, I guess.

Official Google Blog: Finding government info
Google does what the government couldn't (wouldn't?). How can this be politicized? Triumph of laissez faire free marketism? A progressive group taking an inept administration to task? FIGHT!

Kottke is pissed because Technorati doesn't link to him as much as he wants. Wah.
Posts like these are why I haven't read kottke.org in months. This is grandiose "look at me!" whining at best, borderline megalomania at worst; this is why normal people hate bloggers.
