<div id="tagline">Myspace RDF Service</div>

<p><b>Warning:</b> This service is currently broken, MySpace changed a number of things that break the scrapping.</p>
<p><b>Update:</b> The FOAF view of MySpace data is back online.</p>
<h2><a name="intro" id="intro"></a>1. Introduction</h2>

<p>
<!--<b>This service is down at the moment.</b> MySpace changed their
HTML, so the scraping doesn't work as expected anymore.
</p>-->

<p>

This service provides a live RDF representation of <a href="http://www.myspace.com/">Myspace</a> users.
If the user is also an <i>artist</i>, then the corresponding tracks in the streaming audio cache are included in the RDF.
Note that only the <i>top friends</i> in the target Myspace page are included in the RDF.
</p>


<p>
This representations is designed using the <a href="http://musicontology.com/">
Music Ontology</a> and <a href="http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/">FOAF</a>. The scraping is handled by the
<a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/mypyspace/">MyPySpace</a>.
</p>

<!--><p>
This effort is part of the <a href="http://esw.w3.org/topic/SweoIG/TaskForces/CommunityProjects/LinkingOpenData">Linking
Open Data on the Semantic Web</a> community project, hosted by the <a href="http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/sweo/">Semantic
Web Education and Outreach</a> interest group.
</p>-->


<h2><a name="use" id="use"></a>2. Using this service</h2>

<p>
Starting from a Myspace user name:
<pre>
http://myspace.com/&lt;user name&gt;
</pre>
Just get the following URI:
<pre>
http://dbtune.org/myspace/&lt;user name&gt;
</pre>
Alternatively, you can use the Myspace user id directly:
<pre>
http://dbtune.org/myspace/uid/&lt;userID&gt;
</pre>

</p>

<p>For example, the following URI identifies a <a href="http://myspace.com/lesversaillaisesamoustache">band in MySpace</a>:
<pre>
http://dbtune.org/myspace/lesversaillaisesamoustache
</pre>
</p>


<p>
If you have a MySpace account, you can
add the corresponding information to your <a href="http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/">FOAF profile</a> by adding the following statement in it:
<pre>
&lt;my URI&gt; owl:sameAs &lt;http://dbtune.org/myspace/&lt;user name&gt;
</pre>
</p>

<h2><a name="code" id="code"></a>3. Code</h2>
<p>
As usual, <a href="http://motools.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/mypyspace/musicGrabber/branches/webserv-branch/">all the code running this service</a>
is open source and based
on <a href="http://www.python.org">Python</a> and <a href="http://www.swi-prolog.org">SWI-Prolog</a>
