Semantic Web

Hi,
I've been developing a RDF module for Drupal. It was a part of my final thesis/project, and was created due to the lack of flexibility of the "RDF" module in Drupal 6.x. The module got the interest of some universities, national projects, etc and I would like to share it with the community.
I'm currently applying for a "full project access" and it would be nice to get some reviews. it's my first Drupal module and I'm sure that there will be some bugs or I didn't follow ALL the drupal code standards.

I am Mayank, Final year undergraduate student at DA-IICT, India. Since I am relatively new to Drupal-7 RDF, I would really appreciate if you could help me out here.

I have created a custom content type for my project purpose. The RDF Schema for the vocacbulary seems to have registered properly with Drupal and in the Database Tables. However, the issue that I am facing is that the value constraints that I have set within the Schema are not having any effect on the RDF that is generated.

Dear members of the Semantic Web & Views development,

I have been playing with the idea of using Drupal as rapid development environment for (semantic) web applications, rather than CMS. The idea is not as far-fetched as it may seem at first:

CCK allows me to define a database model. Core functionality in D7.

Feeds parser lets me to pre-fill the data in nodes defined in step 1 - including the possibility to fetch data at regular intervals, update nodes and drop old nodes.

RDF-related functionality allows me to associate the data saved in pre-defined nodes with ontology terms.

Views allow mixing of data from different node types

It is also possible to programatically define data (e.g. automatically fill in a field) both in the node and in the View

Finally, there are plenty of modules that let me do just about anything with the data once I have it in nodes & views. Some exampels include e.g. visualization on a map, and setting up a web server (SOAP, REST, ...) that exposes my data to the outside world.

Hi,

I'm trying to build a website similar to ( http://www.lin-clark.com/rdf-faculty-db/).

I installed all the modules and created a new content type using RDF CCK content fields called Person(class foaf:person).

But, when I inspected the elements on any person node, it does not have any RDF/RDFa tags. The node/*/rdf gives a " XML Parsing Error: junk after document element" error.

I'm unable to figure where I might have gone wrong.

I'm pretty new to Drupal and RDF, I'm sorry if this is a very direct question. But, I'm stuck and any help will be greatly appreciated.

I think some vocabularies in Drupal 7. And I want to export to other formats such as: RDFA. There are some modules that do that?

Hi all,

I am wondering if someone could help me understand the benefits pros and cons of the different ways to markup the content.

Specifically I am thinking about microformats, micro data and RDF.
What is drupal view on this?

I hope that someone can point me in the right direction.

Thanks a lot

Daniel

Hi, yesterday I've released VARQL (SPARQL Views Query Backend), the module is intended to help in generating SPARQL queries using our Views lovely and intuitive UI.
VARQL utilizes Drupal 7 built-in rdf mapping in building SPARQL queries; for example if you want to select a couple of recored from DBedia, namely, name and homepage, varql will map these fields to foaf:name and foaf:homepage respectively to build a query

Any reviews or feedback would be greatly appreciated (especially regarding RDF mapping and views query plugin).

This news came a few days ago... Google is officially supporting the Good Relations (e-commerce) ontology as a source for Rich Snippets.

This means that once we have a good mapping for it in Drupal Commerce, sites that use Drupal for commerce will be at a distinct advantage. Yahoo research showed that click through rates for rich snippety search results were 15% higher, and other research has shown up to 30% higher.
