However, Chris Gutteridge, the lead developer for the EPrints, added an RDF export option to version 3.2.1 of EPrints, and since we could get this installed on a test server we decided we would make use of this native RDF support. We did make a few small changes to the data before we published it, mainly to replace some of the URIs assigned by EPrints with data.open.ac.uk URIs as noted the blog post ‘First version of data.open.ac.uk‘.

I've been mulling what EPrints should do "out of the box" and feedback is welcome. http://blogs.ecs.soton.ac.uk/webteam/2010/10/26/local-or-canonical-uris/ BTW, it's quite easy to override what URIs EPrints generates for 'external' entities such as people, publications etc. Darn, I like it when Southampton does stuff first, but congratulations to you guys for getting this going.

You're making great progress here. Good to see. It all looks like it's going smoothly. Any snags, issues, quick wins to report at this stage? I'm personally involved in the LOCAH project, and we've found challenges in modelling the data for starters. There's more on our experiences at http://blogs.ukoln.ac.uk/locah/2010/09/22/creating-linked-data-more-reflections-from-the-coal-face/. I'd be interested to know if you've had any of the same sort of issues, or any different ones? We're very keen to identify any common themes that emerge across the projects so we can get as much learning from the programme as possible. Please keep us informed on what's working and what isn't. Cheers, Adrian JiscEXPO Synthesis Liaison Hi LUCERO People.
