Semantic Web Dog Food

Presented at: 7th International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC2008)

by Andrew Buttigieg, Charlie Abela, Sven Schwarz

In 2005, Sven Schwarz coined the term RDFHomepage. Such a homepage uses RDF to encode all the knowledge about a person and their associations. This homepage separates the content from the model allowing users to customise the view of the homepage without editing its content. We decided to take this idea further and immerse it in the world of Web 2.0 technologies: through the union between Semantic Web and Web 2.0 technologies we provide ease of use to average users via powerful but simplistic Web 2.0 interfaces. We overhauled the architecture of the original RDFHomepage and focused on a modular structure which included many standard Web 2.0 applications such as weblog, calendar and search.

Keywords: PHP, RDF, Semantic Web, Web 2.0
