Building a bootcamp sampler

UPDATE: Grazie Anna Gerber for offering to hold our hands on this one

I learn better by doing than listening. After attending the bootcamp sessions today, lots of us understand theoretically how the tools work.

Can some kind person with more coding experience run a session where participants make their own something using the tools we learned about today?

I would like to create a little webpage (probably as a post on my WordPress site ? ) where I could embed a widget that is querying the NLA People and Organisations set. (For example something that pulls in the entry for Tim Winton then fetches the DBpedia info about him and displays it). Maybe another widget-y thing that produces an interesting something using Tim’s Trove Tools? My idea is that we focus on how the queries are built and pulling in and matching datasets .

We could use something similar to the Netvibes Ecosystem where you can easily make widgets where they do the “wrapper” (graphics and embed code) and you get to focus on just making a query. I am sure there is something even better.

Vague, but I am sure other people can develop and build on this.
