Drupal calling Semantic Web..!
Posted by Danny Ayers at March 11, 2008 10:12 AM
Arto Bendiken just posted a really useful mail to the Semantic Web Education and Outreach group giving some background on RDF developments around Drupal, as well as a list of possible ways SWEO could help. The list makes interesting reading for anyone looking to evangelize to developers, here's a minimal summary:
- RDF myths debunked - Arto mentions the legacy of early RDF/XML experience, suggests promoting Turtle and RDFa "the ultimate microformat" (the SW FAQ may help here)
- External validation - convincing the Drupal community-at-large that Drupal 7.0 adopting RDF wouldn't be taking place in a vacuum (nice hat-tip to Talis, thanks!)
- Endorsement and adoption - "Tim BL blogs using Drupal"
- Mentorship and participation - input from Semantic Web folks into the Drupal community
- RDF Schema for Drupal - immediate action item that could benefit from the RDF expertise
(The recommended tutorials material quoted in the mail, on the ESW Wiki and on Engage is on my to-do list, I hope to get back to that this week).

Busted link: "Turtle" in "1. RDF myths debunked" is linked to http://blogs.talis.com/nodalities/2008/03/www.dajobe.org/2004/01/turtle/ instead of http://www.dajobe.org/2004/01/turtle/
