RDF in other open source CMS's
Today I talked with Thomas Hochhaltinger from ebSemantics, a project of "Smart Information Systems", an Austrian company that developed MyOntology.org a collaborative ontology designing platform with ontologies for consumer electronics goods.
Students of the “FH-Technikum” technical college apparently built a Typo3 RDF plugin that uses these ontologies. I haven't seen the actual plugin and the documents I got are all in German, so I don't know how much energy there is behind this project. But it could be interesting to hear their experiences and get to know how much RDF-buzz is going on in the Typo3 world.
Anybody knows if other open source platforms have identified Semantic web as a priority?
I promised Thomas that I would ask around if anybody is working in a business where this ontology could be of use, who could be interested in integrating them into Drupal? In the next months they will develop other ontologies for the tourism sector. If you are interested contact me through my drupal contact form and I'll connect you with Thomas.
That's interesting... a few
That's interesting... a few weeks ago I did do a quick survey to see if there were active RDF projects or efforts in other CMSs, but I didn't find anything relevant. Joomla for example has a proposal for the SoC: it's not about a RDF API, but more focused on microformats and RDF on a theming level only. I didn't find anything on typo3. Is the Typo3 RDF plugin online somewhere?
I'm not sure
In the presentation that I got they talk about an extension key, so I guess they have registered their project on the typo3 community. It is however not yet part of the Typo3 repository (they talk about it as a possibility).
They should have a working prototype for an RDF File Generator/Parser and an OWL Formular Generator and connected it with typo3 with their "Kickstart-Extension". They want to still build an RDF Parser Typo3 Add-In.
Joomla has RDF envy

Looks like RDF export capability might be coming to Joomla this summer, based on the Triplify initiative.
If that indeed happens, it would mean that the Big Three - Drupal, WordPress, and Joomla - would all be able to expose their data as RDF (WordPress using SparqlPress). Pretty cool!
