lots of new stuff, including contexts
JemBlog (Jena Semantic Weblog Server)

The idea is to build the skeleton of a server-side blogging system along the lines of the core of Movable Type etc. The difference being that the model used behind the scenes is RDF, so true semantic blogging is possible.

The system will be written in Java, using the Jena RDF toolkit.

Following the principle of "release early, release often" I've posted the code I've done so far to the web - it doesn't really do anything yet.

RDFWeb: FOAF: the 'friend of a friend' vocabulary new : Publishing and Linking FOAF documents (danbri)


If you publish a FOAF self-description (eg. using foaf-a-matic) you can make it easier for tools to find your FOAF by putting markup in the head of your HTML homepage. It doesn't really matter what filename you choose for your FOAF document, although foaf.rdf is a common choice. The linking markup is as follows:

<link rel="meta" type="application/rdf+xml" title="FOAF"
href="http://example.com/people/~you/foaf.rdf" />


RSS 3.0 now has uri token, so round-tripping to RSS 1.0 should be easier

it is still possible to use the better-known standard guid...

UKOLN Events - CORES Schema Creation/Registration Workshop "The workshop will provide an introduction to the use of RDF to describe
metadata vocabularies in the form of machine-understandable schemas. It
will focus on the publication of these schemas in the CORES Schema
Registry. Practical sessions will allow participants to learn to use the
CORES Schema Creation Tool to prepare schemas and submit them to the
Registry, and to navigate the schemas submitted via the Registry's Web
interface."
