Hi, After several months of research, coding, sprints and patch reviews, the main RDF patch has been committed to Drupal core! (Thanks Dries!) This introduces a basic RDF API which maps the Drupal data structure to RDF. These mappings are then automatically exported as RDFa throughout the site.
To give you a sneak preview of the code it generates, I've put up a Drupal 7 site at http://drupalrdf.openspring.net/ for testing purposes. We still have some bugs to fix but the bulk of it is working. I'm hoping to get feedback from the RDF community about the RDFa it generates. Please try it with your favorite RDFa parser and report any bug you encounter. You will find some dummy RDF properties/classes sometimes but we'll fix them soon. Note that the RDF mappings are fairly independent from the the actual API since the mapping definitions are centralized [2] and are not hardcoded in the HTML (hereby allowing exports in other RDF serialization formats). Some examples: A blog post with comments http://drupalrdf.openspring.net/node/3 Forum page http://drupalrdf.openspring.net/node/4 Static page http://drupalrdf.openspring.net/about Drupal 7 is still in development phase. The first beta releases should come out in the coming months, and the final release in the new year. Our priority is to fix all remaining bugs [3] and then agree on the best mappings which will come pre-installed in core. I will send more emails on specific issues, so if you're interested make sure to subscribe to [email protected], [email protected] and [email protected]. For those attending ISWC next week, I'll present the research work which was used to build RDF in Drupal core, see paper [4]. See you on Tuesday afternoon in the Semantic Web In Use Track! Stephane.
