JISC

Overview

This project extends existing blogging tools for use as a lightweight, semantically linked publication environment. This enables researchers to create a hub in the linked-data environment, that we call knowledge or k-blogs.

Aims and Objectives

Integrate k-blogs into different working practices and tools. Develop a documented k-blog process supporting peer-review. Provide additional support for referencing and linking to other data resources.

Project Methodology

We are focused on reusing and repurposing existing tools where possible, with a small, experienced team at Newcastle and Manchester, driven through three key user groups.

Anticipated Outputs and Outcomes

A documented k-blog process and implementation. Client-side accessible versioning. Authoring and referencing tools. Bi-directional links to external data sets. Semantic linking with CITO. Support for three specialised user-communities. 

Technology / Standards

Wordpress, RequestTracker, trackback/pingback. HTML and semantic web standards. Various metadata standards.
