As you can see i’m using Shelley Powers metadatas plugins and i think it’s a wonderful way to demonstrate the usability of RDF and its power…
Meanwhile i understand how they work, i want to introduce some ideas to improve them…
There is a post where i have discussed some of them some times ago, but now i want to make them clearer…
Look at the Giuseppe Granieri’s Blog and tell me what you are seeing…
The block at the end of every post, called “Building analogies“, is a block of pure metadata about the post itself, but it’s not encoded in RDF… until now…
The idea is merging the hacks of the writer of “Practical RDF“ and her good pragmatic point of view of tecnology and the social ideas of analogies from Granieri experiments…
Viewing at the Powers’s plugins
The plugins available are at this moment:
- Links plugin - which will parse out hypertext links in a post and store them as RDF data. This then can be used to add a link list to your syndication feed or your post, or however else you want to use the data
- SeeAlso Plugin - allows you to add one or more external references to a post, and have a list of these printed out in the page and/or syndicated feed.
- Photo plugin - accesses the Flickr API to gather metadata about a Flickr embedded photo in the post. The data is then output via a link, added by plugin
Looking at the first two plugins: they are very interesting, aren’t they?
