Semantic Web

This group should probably have more organizers. See documentation on this recommendation.

Welcome to the Semantic Web group in Drupal. This group was started at DrupalCon Barcelona 2007 and includes discussions on how to integrate the Semantic Web technologies into Drupal and list the various effort of the community towards enabling RDF in Drupal. Drupal 7 comes with native RDFa support in core. If you want extra RDF capabilities such as other serialization formats and SPARQL support, checkout the RDF Extensions, SPARQL and SPARQL Views contributed projects. If you need support or have found a bug in one of the fore mentioned projects, please file a ticket in their issue tracker (block on the right on each project page).

Library of Congress Subject Headings service

Posted by groovypower on August 20, 2008 at 7:02am

Has anyone seen this site http://lcsh.info which makes the Library of Congress Subject Headings available as linked-data using the SKOS vocabulary. They have some cool visualization and search methods as well. I am wondering if it would be possible to integrate this to help create a vocabulary and tagging system.

State of the Semantic Web and US Federal Government Ontologies

Posted by rickmurphy on August 17, 2008 at 4:33pm

All:

I've been working with semantic web technologies for about five years now and wanted to engage the drupal community on two issues: a) a set of ontologies that specify the functions of the U.S. Federal government and b) a post I recently published called the state of the semantic web: representation and realism.

The ontologies are based on what's called the Federal Enterprise Architecture and are available here ...

Hello there,
If you or your organization is developing in Drupal, please list yourself here. The aim of this post is to prepare a list of the organizations which are working on Drupal CMS. Thus if we want to organize a major event like Drupalcon in India in future, it helps us a lot to co-ordinate between all the organizations developing in Drupal.

Thank you.

How about organizing 'Drupalindia -0x' (x--year, of course!)
start listing yourself here, below this.

Semantic web at Drupalcon?

Posted by catch on July 22, 2008 at 1:12pm

It's the last week of submissions for Drupalcon session proposals, and so far there's nothing in for semantic web. I've spoken to a couple of people who were interested, but opening it up here for something to be planned. It'd be nice to showcase some of both the RDF modules in D6 contrib and anything else available now, and also longer term plans, core support etc.

"CCK semantic web compliant fields" and Yahoo SearchMonkey

Posted by julma on July 11, 2008 at 5:23pm

It used to be difficult for me to imagine a simple application that really use web semantic technologies.

Then yersteday, I attended a Yahoo presentation in Paris about the searchmonkey API
http://developer.yahoo.com/searchmonkey/

So I give it a try with my favorite web site drupal.org.
It is fun. You should try. It just takes two minutes.
But drupal.org doesn't use websemantic technologies like microformat and RDF yet.

To see the difference, try it with the url facebook.com/p/*
Then you have also the fields available from the hcard microformat to play with.

Drupal and the semantic web

Posted by robertdouglass on July 11, 2008 at 10:31am

UPDATE: Cancelled - I don't have time to prepare for this :(

This is a BoF discussion that is planned for August 24, 2008 at 15:15 - 16:30 as a part of the FrOSCon conference in Sankt Augustin, Germany.

This BoF discussion will focus on what semantic web tools are available to Drupal, including:

The RDF framework: http://drupal.org/project/rdf
The SPARQL module: http://drupal.org/project/sparql
Neologism: http://code.google.com/p/neologism/

Open Kalaif vs. Open Calais

Posted by jensuism on June 18, 2008 at 5:00pm

Just read this article - does anyone know more about this Open Kalaif or is it just a reporter in a hurry with a spelling mistake? Did a google search on drupal.org and nothing turned up . .

Neologism, easy RDFS vocabulary publishing

Posted by scor on June 18, 2008 at 4:17am

FOAF, DC, SIOC, SKOS are famous vocabularies commonly used in the Semantic Web. Many other custom vocabularies exist and are created everyday. Vocabularies play an important role in the Semantic Web as they enable interoperability across various RDF data sources, and are used by RDF publisher and consumers who refer to them in their data.

FP7 BoF on next Drupalcon?

Posted by mixel on April 22, 2008 at 4:40pm

Start:

2008-08-27 (All day) - 2008-08-30 (All day) GMT

Event type:

DrupalCon

FP7 is the EU instrument for funding research, see the introduction on wikipedia or go to the primary site You will notice the Drupal development can fit many calls in general but non in particular. The first goal is to figure out if enough people in the community are interested in EU funded Drupal research. I've made a list with some initiatives that looked relevant, but please be free to give your own opinion or to show your interest.

Planning a Semantic Web site

It would be good to start writing case studies or tutorials on how to build semantic websites with Drupal.

LOD Triplification challenge

Posted by soeren-gdo on April 12, 2008 at 4:40am

Some unofficial note about the LOD Triplification Challenge was already posted here a little earlier, but now once we officially announced the challenge I wanted to use the chance to announce it once more officially ;-)

The LOD Triplification Challenge aims at expediting the process of revealing and exposing structured (relational) representations, which already back most of the existing Web sites, as well as raising awareness in the Web Developer community and showcasing best practices.

my.drupal.org

Posted by catch on April 5, 2008 at 1:49pm

Thought it'd be a good idea to start a discussion specificially on how this might work.

This is a very rough outline from my first post on this subject Drupal.org the redesign - high level.

European Grant applications

Posted by kvantomme on April 4, 2008 at 6:08pm

This week I had a talk with Mixel Kiemen, who is an assistant at the MOSI research & teaching group at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel. It seems that he is in a better position to lead an effort for a European Grant application for Drupal development.

~~He started a group at http://groups.drupal.org/academics~~
Apparently there was to much overlap with http://groups.drupal.org/drupal-research-and-academia so he joined this group.

[Final] Views plugins to output node lists as XML/RDF/JSON/XHTML

Posted by allisterbeharry on March 27, 2008 at 6:18pm

Abstract

This is a proposal to extend Views with the goal of enabling Drupal semantic data sharing and interop out-of-the-box by writing views style-plugins that can spit out node lists as XML, OPML, RDF, JSON, and XHTML.

For example if you created a view with a list of events and details, you could with one click generate a page containing events in the hCalendar microformat or as items in Exhibit JSON format. Similarly lists of user profiles could be output as FOAF profiles in RDF or in the XHTML hCard format. Lists of forum posts could be output as RDF documents using the SIOC vocabulary. Or a simple list containing books from a personal book collection could be output as OPML. This idea is motivated by the accelerating activity around Semantic Web data sharing. The ultimate realization of this idea would be to enable a Drupal site operator to share datasets from her site already constructed through the Views UI in one of several open and reusable formats based on XML, XHTML or JSON, which would be consumable by other Web agents.
