ISDA FPML Course in NYC tomorrow
ISDA – the International Swaps and Derivatives Association is giving an intro level course on FPML (Financial products Mark-up Language) tomorrow in NYC. They will cover the ‘basics’ of FPML/ XML and also go into some product examples with CDS and Interest Rate products. Anyone programming in the capital markets space should have some basic notion of how this stuff works

Active RDF – is a set of tools for semantic web work using ruby. I have been looking at the Redland RDF Application Framework from Dave Beckett lately. I believe this makes use of it – good stuff!

A great article (*warning* PDF) chatting about the match that could/would exist between Ruby and the Semantic web technologies.
I agree that the match between the way of ontoloties and and the way of languages like Java and C# may be off.
I will be curious to see if any supporting frameworks come about in this space.
