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).
RDF data standardization for Drupal
A number of projects are now working with RDF and the Semantic web.
They may not all share the same RDF store, but for data interchange, they should all share the same RDF structure. RSS, ATOM and OPML are standards, but RDF can be rich.
Here's a quick outline to get this page going:
Question 1:
Should we be considering OWL?

The ICT - INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES workprogramme from the European commission has calls for applications that could fit a Drupal project. Especially Objective ICT-2007.4.2 (ICT-2007.4.4): Intelligent Content and Semantics is very interesting, anybody interested in collaborating on a grant proposal for this?
Target outcome
Medium term:
a) Advanced authoring environments for the creation of novel forms of interactive and
expressive content enabling multimodal experimentation and non-linear story-telling.
DrupalCon
DrupalCon, was very successful for the SemanticWeb.
I was very surprised by the attendance of my talk - around 70 people - and the group meeting afterward had some very knowledgeable, motivated, and interesting people. I am really looking forward to fleshing out things here.
Read moreSuggestion for process to add more semantic information to drupal
Last updated by Thomas_Zahreddin on Sat, 2007-09-22 21:16
With the process of Action Learning i made good expirience, so i want to suggest it for us although.
It's rather easy, and we did a lot of it until now.
To write down all steps helps us to get new people on board, they can read what the history and the aiming is.
The steps are:
1.) gather information about semantic in drupal
2.) get an understanding of semantic in drupal - with other words what do you lack of?
3.) priorisize identified topics - what is urgent for you? what is realistic?
Ideas gathered at DrupalCon Barcelona 2007
This is the digest of the brainstorming session we had at DrupalCon Barcelona 2007, Sat 22nd.
How to implement Semantic Web tools for Drupal in order to make it easier for any module to make use of Semantic Web advantages? The aim is to be as general as possible so that any module can use some Semantic Web facilities available without having to implement its own RDF store for example.
