Any plans to resume RDF data updates? Please, please?

[Jeyendran Balakrishnan]

I am grateful to all of you at Curlie for taking on the torch from DMOZ and continuing in the quest to organize the evolving web.
When DMOZ was operating, their RDF data dumps were an invaluable resource.
I was wondering if there are any plans to resume data dumps for Curlie too (RDF, XML, JSON, CSV files, ...)?

Best regards,
Jeyendran

Yes, there are plans to resume data dumps in some form, it may take some time to do that though.

 

[Jeyendran Balakrishnan]

Excellent! Thank you so much.

Hello,
Is there any update available on initiation of data dumps of Curlie data?
Thanks a lot!

 

[informator]

Unfortunately not yet, it's on the to-do list.

 

[Jeyendran Balakrishnan]

Thanks, @informator. Looking forward to it!
In the meantime, if there is anything I can do to help make it happen, please let me know.

Well, reminding us here from time to time does no harm

 

[Jeyendran Balakrishnan]

Hi, taking you up on your suggestion to post reminders once in while ;-)
Getting downloadable access to the Curlie data is eagerly awaited!

 

[Elper]

Yes, you are not forgotten! Imo it's the next thing in the pipeline.

 

[Jeyendran Balakrishnan]

Awesome! Thank you so much.
My offer to help in any way still holds

If there is any technical help needed to bring this up again, I'd also more than happy to help.

Editors can offer their help in the Editor Forum at Curlie.

That said this is also an issue about the value of producing data dumps.

 

[wis]

what do you mean by "value of producing data dumps"?
the cost of hosting vs the demand and the value provided?

 

[informator]

I can't be specific, but we have not unlimited resources and producing downloadable data has not yet been a top priority.

 

[Jeyendran Balakrishnan]

Hello, Merry Christmas to all at Curlie!
Here's hoping the New Year will bring joy to all of us who have been hoping to get RDF data dumps from Curlie!
Peace and Love.

Some editors are looking forward to the return of tools which use the RDF. Although I have never used the RDF directly, there were editor-only tools which used the RDF which I miss.

 

[Jeyendran Balakrishnan]

Please let any of us know if we can help with the development/return of these software tools.

Hello, any news on this ?

I am python developer and system administrator and offering my help in making this come to reality.

 

[informator]

No news, unfortunately.

I guess it could be a good time to re-evaluate this, so raising the question internally.

I don't think there is a possibility for outside participitation in development efforts.
