WYMIWYG KnoBot [1] provides a CMS system designed to exchange contents on a P2P basis, it uses RSS-Feeds containing relevance information. The user defines "topics" and defines relations of different relevance to other topics (own or of other users), the individual articles are manually associated to a topics and automatically (with lower relevance) to all relating topics (this may include copying to another host). Other users may manually re-rate content influencing how much an article is perceived in their environment. All data is stored in a Jena RDF-Model and exchanged over http. It is not a typical p2p software in that it has no peer-discovery but relies on existing social networks. Exchanging the definitions of rdfs-classes by the same means is not currently implemented but I think that this would be possible as well. You may download an early version from [2], it should take only two double-click to install and launch, I would appreciate any feedback. reto 1. http://wymiwyg.org/knobot (the site itself is powered by knobot) 2. http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=83223 (file 11735721 bytes) Jonathan Chetwynd wrote: > > Does anyone know of current peer-to-peer RDF projects? > > By this I am referring to projects where the RDF metacontent or schema > is defined over time by users. > (some people might consider the CD labelling project of this type.) > > I've proposed this model for a number of projects including: > The WWAAC concept coding framework project > The CEN metadata for accessibility project > > There may well be significant hurdles in adopting this approach, > however was inspired to request evidence of current successes by the > excellent: "Where the Action Is" The foundations of embodied > interaction by Paul Dourish. > when after a particularly intractable and rambling passage he announces: > > "Principle: Users, not designers, create and communicate meaning." > > regards > > Jonathan Chetwynd > http://www.peepo.co.uk "It's easy to use" > irc://freenode/accessibility > > >
