These are various mashups of the 2008 Olympics data, created around the Oxfordshire Semantic Web Interest Group Olympic Mashup event. I wrote them using Scala and Jena.
Team GB Exhibit
Information on the Team GB athletes, scraped from the official Team GB website, converted to RDF via Jena, enriched using Scala code, and then displayed using Exhibit.
Medals over time (requires Flash)
An interactive display of when medals were won by each country, based on information scraped from the official medals site, converted to RDF via Jena, and then displayed using Flex based on Prefuse Flare.
Medals compared to population, GDP, etc.
- Medals compared to size of country
- Medals compared to nominal GDP per capita
- Medals compared to Human Development Index
- Medals compared to population
- Medals compared to population density
Graphs comparing medals won to other metrics for the medal-winning countries. Based on information scraped from the official medals site, combined with data obtained from DBPedia using SPARQL queries, and then displayed using Processing, using code heavily based on an example by Ben Fry in Visualizing Data.
