Screen Scraping + RDF
-
Hi i am new to the .Net platform and after learning the basics and going further up for about 40 days and 40 nights (:P), i am stuck at a challenge. i have been given a task to set up a web service that Screen Scrapes web pages of my college and associates with these pages a relevant RDF file. A client using this service should than be able to use the RDF file in order to associate similar web pages. Can somone provide me with the details as where to take the start from...i am able to handle screen scraping thing a bit but dont know much about the second part of the task....i have studied a lot of material available on internet about RDF and the semantic web but still not sure as how to use the knowledge using C#.

Hi there, I can't help you out right now, but i saw some similairity in what you're looking for and what i'm looking for. See thread: http://www.codeproject.com/script/comments/forums.asp?forumid=1641#xx1200889xx[^] Like you i'm new to .NET (primairly focusing on C#, ASP.NET and SQL2000) and interrested in what you learn about these subjects. If i find something that could help you with your task i'll let you know. What is a RDF file anyway? Goodluck soldier! Just give me the blue pill...i dont want to go down into rabbitholes...

Thanks for the attention to my post!! RDF means Resource Development Framework. The Semantic Web ( http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/ and http://infomesh.net/2001/swintro/) is an effort to put meaning into web pages by the inclusion of meta-data. This meta-data usually takes the form of an XML dialect called RDF. so RDF file actually is a metadata file containing information about the website, so that in the future may be all the websites will have an associated RDF file and the search engines will query the RDF files in order to extract the useful info. This is what i have understood about this RDF stuff till now.
