Triplify - expose semantics!

March 16, 2008 - 5:28 am by Sören Auer -

Triplify logo

After a first preview release a couple of weeks ago we worked hard to prepare a first public release of Triplify. We fixed a number of bugs and added several additional features, some example configurations for popular Web applications were created and the Web site was completely overhauled: Michael Haschke created the new Triplify logo as well as the design and most other visuals on the site. For those who missed the first Triplify announcement:

Triplify enables the effortless “semantification” of Web applications. 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 overview

Triplify is very light weight: It consists just of few files with less than 500 lines of code. For a typical Web application a configuration for Triplify can be created in less than one hour and if this Web application is deployed multiple times (as most open-source Web applications are) the configuration can be reused without modifications.

Triplify makes Web applications easier mashable and lays the foundation for next generation, semantics based Web searches.

More infos, the software release, some example configurations for OpenConf, Open Journal Systems, WackoWiki, WordPress and Drupal are available from: http://triplify.org

    Wonderfull little toolkit. The Config-File for Wordpress 2.1 also works for Wordpress 2.3.3. I had only one problem: my database encoding is not UTF-8. So I made a brute-force-patch in index.php

    function makeTriples($cl,$class,$dtypes) {
    ….
    foreach($cl as $p=>$val) if($val && ($dtypes[$p]!=’xsd:dateTime’||$val!=’0000-00-00 00:00:00′)) {
    $val=utf8_encode($val); // ADDED LINE
    if(strpos($p,’^^’)) {
    ….

    Of course a config parameter would be better

    I´m gonna write about triplifly on my blog but i´ve done some testing on it and i obtain an error: syntax error, unexpected ‘,’, expecting ‘(’ in /data/members/paid/d/r/dreig.eu/htdocs/www/caparazon/triplify/index.php on line 70
    This is a 2.2 installation.

    It runs correctly on 2.3.1.

    Could it be solved?

    thanks

    Dear Dreig,

    Could you please give us some more information, what exactly happens? Which PHP version is installed on your Webspace (easy to find out with the function php_info()). You are saying it works with WordPress 2.3.1 but not with 2.2? That would be hard to belive, since the line your error message points to is in no way related to the WordPress version.

    Sören

    […] os aconsejo, de momento, su instalación. Prevén el lanzamiento de su primera versión pública (que tal vez soluciones los problemas con la privacidad de los que alertan) en […]
