Semantic Web Pipes

The presentation about the Semantic Web Pipes from DERI in the WWW 2008 conference, developers track was very impressive. It is based on the idea of yahoo pipes of mixing and channeling data through operators, but for semantically structured data which offers more powerful operations. It also offers impressive GUI for handling the pipes though not as beautiful as yahoo pipes GUI. Sometime ago I had also presented similar idea of Semantic Web pipes for SocioBiblog, a semantic blogging system for decentralized flow of bibliographic information in communities. However, it only had limited operations of mixing feeds and filtering by metadata elements.

Blogs, WordPress, Zitgist and the Semantic Web at Frederick Giasson’s Weblog

This is a cool thing for using Semantic Web with blogs implemented using Zitgist technologies. I would like to know how it works. It is also somewhat similar to my idea of semantic navigation through blog entries.

::: Structured Blogging :::

This is also semantic blogging.

Structured Blogging is all about giving bloggers the tools to create and syndicate structured information, such as reviews and events. We currently offer two Structured Blogging plugins for the popular blogging platforms Movable Type and WordPress. Using these plugins makes it easy to create, edit, and maintain different kinds of posts

JeromeDL - e-Library with Semantics - Home

JeromeDL also integrates semantic blogging with digital library.

JeromeDL is a Social Semantic Digital Library. As a digital library, it
allows institutions to easily publish documents on the Web. It supports
a variety of document formats and allows to store and query a rich
bibliographic description of each document.

To find relevant documents in JeromeDL users can use searching and
browsing features. Whole documents content can be searched through, as
well as single fields of the documents description, like author or
publish year. Users can also find documents by browsing content of
subject categories and keywords

With JeromeDLs social and semantic services every library user can
bookmark interesting books, articles or other materials in semantically
annotated directories. Users can allow others to see their bookmarks and
annotations and share their knowledge within a social network. JeromeDL
can also treat a single library resource as a blog post. Users can
comment the content of the resource and reply to others comments and
this way create new knowledge.
