Let's make Joomla! part of the Semantic Web PDF Print E-mail
Tuesday, 18 March 2008

The Web is more and more going semantics (cf. the recent announcements of Yahoo! and e.g. the Drupal Semantic Web initiative). Yesterday a new technology called Triplify (http://triplify.org) was released, which provides a building block for the “semantification” of Web applications in particular Joomla!. Triplify is a small plugin for Web applications, which reveals the semantic structures encoded in relational databases by making database content available as RDF, JSON or Linked Data.

Triplify is very light weight: It consists just of few files with less than 500 lines of code. For Joomla a configuration for Triplify can be probably be created in less than 2 hours and the configuration can be reused without modifications on all Joomla installations. Triplify would make Joomla! easier mashable and lays the foundation for next generation, semantics based Web searches.

The largest obstacle for the uptake of the Semantic Web is still the lack of semantically represented data, information and knowledge. On the other hand the majority of Web pages already now is generated by database driven Web applications containing structured data - such as Joomla!. Triplify now aims at revealing such data and make it accessible using next generation semantic technologies. Triplify is a small plugin (nsider donating some minutes to provide a Triplify configuration for a popular Web application such as Joomla! or pledge for the respective open-source projects at Cofundos.org [1]. Such configurations will be shared on Triplify.org to make the "semantification" of Web applications even for novices a no brainer. Ultimately, when a critical mass of Web applications is equipped with semantic interfaces such as Triplify it is easy to mix-and-mash information from different web sites and search engines are able to search the Web more efficiently and to combine different keywords more intelligently. When searching e.g. for airports near Leipzig, cities in France with more than 100.000 inhabitants or digital cameras combining a large zoom with high resolution we will not have to rely on lucky hits.
