Hi Nimal, Great to hear that you're interested. A few details:
There are two OpenOffice.org ideas. One is a port of the Microsoft developed Office plugin (http://ucsdbiolit.codeplex.com/). We'd like to be able to tag words as part of an ontology within Writer documents. Ideally the plugin should be able to consume an arbitrary ontology, and then we can ship it with a few already included (such as the biomedical ontology, etc). The second OpenOffice.org related project is updating our existing plugin in several ways; see http://wiki.creativecommons.org/OpenOffice_Plugin_Updates for an overview. The WordPress idea is probably the least well defined at this point. It'd be nice to extend the WordPress editor to allow authors to add RDFa to their posts, similar to how they can already mark text as bold, italicized or linked. Like the OOo Ontology plugin it'd be good to provide an extensible route for adding vocabulary, but we should probably ship with support for common things like dublin core metadata and support for marking up media in the posts. If you have specific questions about any of these projects, please let us know. Nathan 2009/3/23 TalkOut a.k.a.
