Just a quick pointer to a hack I started at the weekend, to export SKOS (in N3, for now) from the PHP weblogging system, Wordpress. src: http://danbri.org/words/skos.phps categories from my blog: http://danbri.org/words/skos.php Source code has a few more pointers. It's very basic, but should fit well with the FOAF and other RDF addons for Wordpress. More notes/background in: http://rdfig.xmlhack.com/2004/08/09/2004-08-09.html including feeds from others... - http://crschmidt.net/wordpress/skos.php - http://www.brain-stream.org/wordpress/skos.php Folks were also, as a spinoff from this discussion, playing with export of categories from del.icio.us (shared bookmarking 'tags'). I've also pinged the Annotea team to see where they're up to w/ SKOS adoption. See rdfig.xmlhack.com link above for more re deli.icio.us feeds. This demo was really "one to throw away". RDF/N3 isn't the right format to do exports in (except as a negotiable option amongst concenting parties in the privacy of their own HTTP/1.1 transaction). Morten F has begun re-working this code as an RDF/XML 'categories in RDF' feature of his Wordpress FOAF plugin. I'm quite psyched about this, 'cos there are lots of sites using Wordpress, and the FOAF/XFN stuff in there already gives us a basic framework for inter-site navigation, discovery and harvesting. This means we can send a crawler around and scoop up different people's category sets. Which should be an interesting dataset, particularly as Wordpress allows for category-specific RSS feeds. Still needs a more polished use case, but I'm interested to see what we find from a few dozen folks sites. Dave B mentioned that Wordpress categories are closer to 'keyword lists' than Thesauri, which is fair comment, but they do allow hierarchy and do reflect the scruffy way people tend to manage their bookmarks, filetrees, documents etc. thoughts welcomed, Dan
