Couple of first impressionist thoughts - 1. while extracted RDF could be really useful in declaratively changing the view of the Wiki, this in itself seems more oriented towards the presentation end rather than the data provision GRDDL enables * 2. what would potentially be of direct benefit for the Wiki user would be the ability to add RDF-based navigation (along the lines of the viewing side of the Semantic Mediawiki [1]) by following a few conventions (a la microformats) and using of-the-shelf RDF browsing tools like the Tabulator [2] or Longwell [3], without having to hack the core model of the Wiki system. Cheers, Danny. [1] http://wiki.ontoworld.org/wiki/Semantic_MediaWiki [2] http://www.w3.org/2005/ajar/tab [3] http://simile.mit.edu/wiki2/Longwell * for some dayjob work recently I set up some presentation stuff not dissimilar conceptually to the Fresnel idea, but based on SPARQL+XSLT. A first query would CONSTRUCT a graph mapping the domain results to a report description vocabulary. A second SELECT query, only including terms from the report ontology would then be run against that graph. This would then be XSLT'd to HTML. The general approach worked a treat, there being separation between the data side of the system and the presentation side - the second query and the XSLT acting like domain-independent templates. I must write it up properly sometime, but I've abandoned it for the dayjob task, the XSLT 1.0 was too much like hard work for reports (Muenchian method etc). -- http://dannyayers.com
