Dave Winer has posted an idea [1] that I think would make a neat little demo in the crossover area between LOD and traditional keyword/linkrank search. His suggestion is for a search engine to offer a preference to allow the searcher to enter their blog URI alongside the usual text search, allowing the engine to provide more focused results. (Curiously he elides the part about what mechanisms are used behind the scenes :-) I'm pretty sure someone around here will have most if not all of the necessary pieces already in place (SearchMonkey, Sindice...), but I don't recall seeing a really minimal UI, like: Search Terms : [ ] Home Page or WebID : [ ] Come to think of it, if anyone has a dedicated RDF-backed RSS/Atom aggregator, I'd rather like a blog search tool like this. SPARQL regex would probably be adequate for the text search part, with maybe derived foaf:primaryTopics from documents being lined up with foaf:interests pulled via the WebID. Cheers, Danny.
