there's a UMBEL to dBPedia (thus wikipedia?) mapping already out there, i think. not sure if this would provide what you mean?
also, interestingly, we've been spending some time "tagging/categorizing" our content with wikipedia URIs (thus dBpedia URIs)... which, when they map to UMBEL or MusicBRainz, etc so, i remain puzzled as to the supposed difference between dBpedia/wikipedia, UMBEL, and now openGUID? don't these all basically overlap, as lists of subjects/concepts? which isn't a bad thing, BTW... best-- --cs -----Original Message----- From: Jason Borro [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tue 9/30/2008 1:54 AM To: Chris Sizemore Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: RDFa in Wikipedia I was talking about tagging wikipedia articles with a subject (UMBEL or Open GUID, e.g.) I did see the Semantic-MediaWiki project, but that is more geared towards specific ontologies. There was a student recently working on an RDFa plugin for it [1], but not sure how extractable that is to base MediaWiki. There was also a student submission to the SWIKIG group that did not receive any responses.
