Semantic Application Development - semantic-web

hi every body
i was looking for a solution or a methodology to develop a sample
web site that utilizes a semantic database backe-end
i have used protege in previous steps and i have converted my OWL project to
mysql database backend successfully.
Any help would be appreciated

I did not see any such resource.
In general you will need a server to host your data. If your data is in relational databases you will need server like
D2R
or RDF server like
Sesame
and
Virtouso
These servers will allow accessing RDF data. Then you can use different techniques to embed this data in HTML to present it to user(Google it). There are RDF Browsers available as well.
There is a very good article on this topic here based on this publication.

Convert an online JSON set of files to a relational DB (SQL Server, MySQL, SQLITE)

I'm using a tool called Teamwork to manage my team's projects.
The have an online API that consists of JSON files that are accessible with authorisation
https://developer.teamwork.com/projects/introduction/welcome-to-the-teamwork-projects-api
I would like to be able to convert this online data to an sql db so i can create custom reports for my management.
I can't seem to find anything ready to do that.
I need a strategy to do this..
If you know how to program, this should be pretty straightforward.
In Python, for example, you could:
Come up with a SQL schema that maps to the JSON data objects you want to store. Create it in a database of your choice.
Use the Requests library to download the JSON resources, if you don't already have them on your system.
Convert each JSON resource to a python data structure using json.loads.
Connect to your database server using the appropriate Python library for your database. e.g., PyMySQL.
Iterate over the python data, inserting rows into the database as appropriate. This is essentially the JSON-to-Tables mapping from step 1 made procedural.
If you are not looking to do this in code, you should be able to use an open-source ETL tool to do this transformation. At LinkedIn a coworker of mine used to use Talend Data Integration for solid ETL work of a very similar nature (JSON to SQL). He was very fond of it and I respected his opinion, so I figured I should mention it, although I have zero experience of it myself.

How to migrate the data from Magnolia CMS Apache Jackrabbit content repository to normal SQL SERVER database

I am new to Magnolia CMS and the Apache Jackrabbit content repository concepts.
There is a web application which is using Magnolia CMS. Magnolia is using SQL SERVER 2012 database as persistence manager.
Here Apache Jackrabbit content repository implementation is done. There are two separate configurations of the Magnolia CMS which are used for the application, referred to as the public and author instances.
Now here we are trying to replace the existing Magnolia CMS with a custom ASP.NET MVC 5 application with all the functionalities.
I analysed the tables in the SQL SERVER database and found that data stored in format of Node_ID and Bundle_Data which is very difficult to analyse.
In short, it is not easy to interpret.
Based on the custom CMS a new database model for author instance (SQL SERVER 2012) is developed.
Hence as part of migration task ,I am trying to migrate the old data that is stored in the SQL SERVER with the Apache Jackrabbit content repository implementation to a normal SQL SERVER 2012 (as per the new database model).
Can anyone help me to know are there are any proven methods or tools available to accomplish this task.
The question is more on the jackrabbit-side, not so much on the Magnolia side, especially since you want to replace Magnolia entirely, not just the persistence layer:
Now here we are trying to replace the existing Magnolia CMS with a
custom ASP.NET MVC 5 application with all the functionalities.
although my question really is whether you really want to replace Jackrabbit entirely, or still use Jackrabbit with your ASP.NET application but with a MS SQL Server datastore (which would be my personal suggestion)? Otherwise you will be getting rid of all the benefits that Jackrabbit has.
Jackrabbit does support SQL Server and I would suggest to use it.
https://wiki.apache.org/jackrabbit/DataStore#Configuration-1:
Currently supported are: db2, derby, h2, mssql, mysql, oracle,
sqlserver.
Developing a WebCMS with just ASP.NET and SQL Server and without a content repository layer in between sounds like developing everything that a WebCMS usually comes with from scratch, especially if you want to have all the functionality that Magnolia offers (versioning, history, search, etc.).
You can check details regarding Jackrabbit data store here: http://wiki.apache.org/jackrabbit/DataStore although I am wondering why you or your customer would want to change the data store of the content repository to SQL Server. I guess you are not speaking of using MySQL for the persistence of the meta data, but really to store the binary content (a mistake that by the way OpenCms, another Java-based open source WebCMS, made in their architecture design - imho).
Note that usually large files are not stored in the database itself (with Magnolia), but on the file system.
https://wiki.magnolia-cms.com/display/WIKI/Setting+up+a+Jackrabbit+persistence+manager#SettingupaJackrabbitpersistencemanager-Datastorageandbackup:
BLOBs are not by default stored in the database when they exceed a
certain threshold definied in your Jackrabbit configuration - instead
they are saved on the file system. The default threshold used by a
Magnolia installation is 1024 bytes. All files above the defined
threshold are put onto the filesystem and not in the database.
In case you really want to get rid of Jackrabbit entirely and only use SQL Server as the persistence layer and store all binary content in it regardless of size (not recommended), I would write a custom export/import script for it, which queries the Jackrabbit repo (standard CMIS protocol) and takes the content from the file system, reading as FileInputStream and writing it to the Oracle DB (Example: http://www.java2s.com/Code/Java/Database-SQL-JDBC/StoreBLOBsdataintodatabase.htm). This would be my suggested method.
I don't think there are any out-of-the-box tools for that.

Is there a way to get a data dump from Ektron

I need a way to get all of the data out of an Ektron site in any format, that I can use to import it into a new CMS. To my eyes the database is completely obfuscated and I'm not finding any good resources. I would be happy for links, tips, videos, angels, magic lamps or companies that will do it on the cheep. Thanks in advance!
I do Ektron migrations of this nature regularly for my company and the problem with such migrations is that there really is no "standard". Every site has it's data structured quite differently and this will be especially true of ektron sites that rely on smartforms, or ones that have complex metadata or taxonomy relationships.
Your best bet will probably be to write a custom export tool to get your data into a format your target CMS can handle. If you are moving into another .net CMS, you might be well served by utilizing the ektron SOAP web services.
Two things that come to mind:
Perform database Backup (and Restore): "Backup" the Ektron database you are using and "Restore" it where you need it to go. Both of these actions can be performed using SQL
Server Management Studio with access to the filesystem on your
database server. This will restore ALL data EXACTLY as it was when
backed up. This is straight forward, but not flexible and I feel like this isn't
what you're looking for. If you want to treat "Ektron" like it's just any other database, then researching a more generic SQL Server Database "Dump" may be useful.
Perform content Export (and Import): Ektron provides a content export feature. This can be found in the Workarea under [Settings] > [Localization]. The purpose behind the export is to translate/localize content into another language and then import it back into the CMS, but... You aren't looking to localize your content as far as I can tell, but this export feature may still be of interest to you for whatever purpose you have in mind.

What's the easiest/cheapest way to create a cloud-based SQL database?

I have a website that I've built (hosted on Amazon S3) and it works great. The only problem is that all of the data is static. I'd like to create a SQL database in the cloud that would allow me to store basic text data from users after they submit forms. I'm still a novice web-developer but I've used sqlite3 for several of my Java desktop apps and I'd like to use that SQL knowledge to create this online database. I guess what i'm asking (in my ignorance) is: how can I create a sqlite-type database that is stored in the cloud and that I can query against using javascript?
Where do I get started? Is there a service like Amazon AWS or Azure or something where I can create this database and then use some sort of jQuery/Javascript API to query data from it? I don't need a ton of storage space and my queries would be very basic SQL type stuff.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
For more flexibility, less service lock-in, and cheaper scalability: I would suggest CouchDB (though you would likely still use a hosting service like Cloudant). CouchDB can host your website, and provides a HTTP API for storing data, to which your client-side JavaScript can make REST calls.
StackMob has a free package that you can use. You can use the JS SDK to write your HTML5 app and save stuff to the StackMob DB. You can host your HTML5 on StackMob for free and point your own domain to it as well. There is also S3 integration.
Some references:

As you mentioned your website is hosted on Amazon S3 I am sure it is a static website with lots of JavaScript embedded HTML files. Due to having a static website, I can understand your requirement to use a database which can be connected from your static site and to be very honest there are not a lot options you have. Static website are considered to have no dependency on database so honestly you have very limited choice because what you are looking for is "A Database which is accessible over HTTP which you can call from scripting language withing HTML"
If you have ability to write back to S3 directly from your JavaScript code you can create a JavaScript based database within your static site which is complex but consider a choice.
In my thinking you are better off to have an extra-small instance in Windows Azure (or your choice of cloud service) and connect with a cloud based database which will be comparative cheaper and fit for your requirement.
Or unless Amazon can come up with a DB accessible from status content as S3, you really have no great choices here.
Since you are already familiar some of AWS's offerings, you should check out:
Amazon RDS - Managed Relational Database Service for MySQL or Oracle
Amazon DynamoDB - Fast, Predictable, Highly-scalable NoSQL data store
But to do what you are asking (access data via JavaScript), check out www.stackmob.com. You can host an HTML5 application with data access via backbone (javascript based framework) on StackMob.
Create a Virtual Private Server on Vultr.com. It's not the easiest way, but it's the best way for you to learn about Database Security, and it will be significantly cheaper than the other solutions, should your server begin to require more storage.
[vitrobridgedb] is free for hobby applications and pretty straight-forward to use
SQLite isn't really a good choice for web facing applications due to its scaling issues.
Both AWS and Azure support SQL databases. They also each support alternatives like MongoDB and Redis. For something as basic as you describe the only real difference is cost.

best way of migrating customised metadata associated with source component into Tridion environment

If we are migrating content from source Content Management System to Tridion, what is the best way of migrating customized metadata associated with the components(content) of source Content Management System into Tridion? Should we directly migrate it to the sql server or is there an option to migrate it in the form of some xml file, etc.?
Migrating directly into SQL Server is unsupported, and the entire system would be unsupported at that point, due to possible data consistency issues.
The most straightforward way is to read the data from the source system, and use the Tridion API to recreate the item.
If migrating metadata, some of the data would likely fit best into a taxonomy, which would mean you'd want to migrate the keywords / structure first, then tag the content as it came into Tridion.
You have a few options when migrating content into Tridion.
I can't understand from the above if you are talking about migrating to SQL server as an intermediate format, or directly into the Tridion database. Importing directly into the Tridion database is definitely not a supported solution, and could lead to unpredictable results.
You need to use the API, either the Core Service or the TOM.NET API (If you have Tridion 2011) or the old TOM API if not.
A popular approach is to export all content into an XML format that you can then process with a .NET application.
There's some good articles on migrating content into Tridion by Ryan Durkin here, and Nuno Linhares here.
As mention before, migrating directly into the Database is not an option if you are planning to use SDL Tridion as the final CMS.
Apart of the supported mechanism chosen for Migrate, play attention about how you are going to structure the metadata in the new CMS, as depending on the volume, structure, hierarchy, relation across metadata items the process can become complex.
Also play special attention at the Blueprint concept, as probably you can merge duplicated values from the old system into only one that is inherited.
Don't think only in how to put the metadata in the system, also how that Metadata will be used and maintained in the new CMS, in this case SDL Tridion
You can check also a recent post about Migration and plan Migration in general, in case adds some more information
Can we automate migrating to SDL Tridion?
