8:00 – 4:00 VTX

• Working from home today
• I think a good goal is to put together a human-readable dictionary input-output file. Need to ask Gregg about file formats he uses.
• Downloaded the sandbox files for JPA and SNLP projects
• Updating my Intellij
  • Indexing…
  • Installing plugin updates
  • Still indexing…
  • Testing.
    • Stanford NLP: Missing the ‘models’ jar file – fixed
    • JavaJPA: Worked first time
• Updating Java to 8u72
• Pinged Gregg about what file format he uses. It’s RDF. He’s sending an example that I’m going to try to import with Apache Jana.
• Created Jena project.
• After a frustrating detour into Maven with Intellij, imported the Jena libraries directly.
• Whoops, forgot to set log4j.
• Starting the tutorial.
• Ok, good progress. I can create a model, add resources, and print out the XML representation. I think a variation of this should be fine to describe the dictionary:

  <rdf:RDF
   xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"
   xmlns:vcard="http://www.w3.org/2001/vcard-rdf/3.0#">
   <rdf:Description rdf:about="http://somewhere/JohnSmith">
   <vcard:N rdf:parseType="Resource">
   <vcard:Family>Smith</vcard:Family>
   <vcard:Given>John</vcard:Given>
   </vcard:N>
   <vcard:FN>John Smith</vcard:FN>
   </rdf:Description>
  </rdf:RDF>
  

• But now, I’m going to try my snowshoes out for lunch…
• Ok, back from the adventure.
• Writing out files – done
• Reading in files – done
• Checking project into Subversion done
