ILRT tshirt

I've had the silk screens made for a new ILRT tshirt based on the "knitting" we did showing connections within the ILRT during staff development fortnight.

and subjects at the ILRT.

It's light grey with the following picture printed on the front in green and black as shown. It contains nodes for all the projects and people in the ILRT. The picture was created using RDFAuthor, which allows you to both create RDF and display existing RDF. I had to persuade Damian Steer, the author of RDFAuthor to add lots of features to it to do this, so many thanks to him.


I had a single one made for Dan for part of his leaving present from ILRT.
Here's a picture of him modelling it:



The interesting thing about it is that it was created using machine-readable data and automated tools. This is the first time we've managed to automate the process. A previous RDF-based tshirt for RDFWeb had to be designed by hand.
