Personal Report: Update
As I promised in Personal Report, the other day I sat down and wrote some code to pull together some personal data and consolidated it on my about page. Currently, the data I’ve got updating nightly is: recently watched movies, recently listened to music, and beer I’ve had recently (which is compared to my beer data from 2004).
The music is coming from my Last.fm weekly artist chart [xml]. I would have preferred the weekly album chart, but all the weekly charts except for the artists seem to be broken. I’m passing the XML through this hack of a stylesheet and then querying the resulting data with SPARQL.
The movies are coming from my FilmTrust FOAF Profile. The data is conveniently already in RDF, and so I can query it directly with SPARQL.
Finally, the beer data is also coming from a SPARQL query on data from a turtle file containing information on all the beer I’ve had this year. This file is generated each night from a local, plain-text list I keep on my laptop. It contains information about the type of beer I had, the date, name of brewery and beer, quantity of beer, location where I had the beer, and a review rating. The locations are identified with URIs pointing to my site which don’t currently return any data, but sometime soon should start returning spatial data about the locations.
