Topic: Semantic Apps with CubicWeb

Speaker: Sandrine Ribeau

Links:

The CubicWeb framework makes a construction game of building semantic
web applications that have both a HTML/Ajax rich user interface and a
RDF/OWL-based data interface.

This talk introduces the design of Cubic Web, focusing on key
differences from other frameworks, such as applying views to selections
of objects implementing the required interface, multi-database support,
migration and versioning for maintenance over several years, and truly
reusable components, with examples of integration within the Linked Data
cloud, with Google Maps, and with faceted search.

Mapping is a rapid-fire audience announcement of topics the announcer is interested in.
