Closely related to Movies_I've_Watched

I (SimonRozet) am planning to write a web application to review movies using the fellowing things :

  • Camping, a microframework written in the Ruby language
  • dbpedia to retrieve movies information (such as title, director, actors, etc.)
  • ActiveRDF to interact with dbpedia (using SPARQL)
  • Use the Movies_I've_Watched microformats

First, I'll use a simple database storage because. A TripleStore could come later.


[edit] How it works for the user

  • User see an input to search for movie. Bellow, there is a list of movies you've already reviewed
  • The user hit the search button. It shows results from dbpedia, with a link to review the movie.
  • He a "Review to movie" link
  • He a form, where he can rate the movie and write a comment about it (these fields are not required)
  • He hit the "Save" button
  • The End

[edit] How it works (technical)

  • We only request dbpedia for search. When a movie is reviewed, both movie's metadata and reviews are stored in our database.
  • Data are exposed using microformats (Movies_I've_Watched)
