Articles as RDF

2011-05-09T12:52:50Z

Dear All,

I was wondering whether a dump of NY Times' articles is available in
the same format you already provide subject headings (RDF). The reason
I am asking for this is so that
the research group I am working in can use them for research (non-
commercial) purposes (in order to evaluate an implementation of ours).

Using GeoNames to Query NYT

2011-04-15T17:01:53Z

So I have a list of Geonames and i was hoping to use them to query the NYT
Article Search API. I was curious as to the best way to do this? How should
I build my query?
Do I put the Geoname city and country in a geo_facet search or a
nytd_geo_facet search? Do I use the city and country name in a straight up

also host local instances of cross referenced data:
1. [link] -- LOD cloud cache
2. [link] -- DBpedia

Space based on URIBurner service use .

Data model of the NYT data.

2010-08-30T12:49:37Z

One year ago, the NYT data available through the SPARQL endpoint
[link] had a (limited) data model,
including types such as "[link]
Org".
In the latest RDF release, the only type I see is "skos:Concept".

My questions:
Is there an underlying data model in the NYT data?

I was working on some stuff and widely used the search API for dbpedia,
opencyc and freebase.
I definitely see a need to have a search API in order to get URI's for input
strings

We don't yet have a search API stood up around the resources on
data.nytimes.com. If this is a feature the community would like to
see, let me know and we can work it into pipeline.

Search Box

2010-01-20T17:10:03Z

Over the weekend, we launched a small new feature on data.nytimes.com
that makes it easier to find the resources you're looking for. We've
added a search box to the upper right hand corner of every page on the
site. Simply start typing and we'll dynamically identify resources
that match your query and display them in an auto-complete form.
