Hello all,
I'm writing at the recommendation of Mairelys Lemus-Rojas after I
approached her with the below inquiry and exchanged some emails about it.
I was wondering if anyone was familiar with a semantic/linked data capable
content management system or blog that has autofill or nanotation
capabilities. What I mean by that is, say I'm writing a blog post about
Paris, I'm looking for something that would autofill linked data 'under the
hood' by either a dropdown (a la Omeka's Value Suggest
<https://omeka.org/s/modules/ValueSuggest/>), a autofill (a la
wikidata/pedia) or something that creates semantic blog tags.
I've seen a (very) bleeding-edge technology/proof of concept called
nanotation <http://kidehen.blogspot.com/2014/07/nanotation.html> that looks
about right, but might be completely different then what I actually want,
which is to find something that incorporates linked data, autofills URIs,
and works like a blog/content management system.
So far I've explored
-
*Recogito* (
https://recogito.pelagios.org/) is lovely but focused on
annotating images/maps/preexisting items.
-
*Catma* (
https://catma.de/) is lovely looking but builds off preexisting
texts, not creating new texts (i.e. you'd have to write the text and then
annotate it all.). It seems to be a Voyant on steroids. Nonetheless if I
could combine Recogito and Catma, that'd be neat. The same program (?
project?) also puts out forText (
https://fortext.net/), which i just
include here as it's also nice.
-
*dokie.li <http://dokie.li>* (
https://dokie.li/) This seems the closest,
as it's focused on article publishing, annotations and social interactions,
but unfortunately, setting up a Solid Server remains quite the technical
hurdle for me
-
*Atomgraph* (
https://atomgraph.com/) is knowledge graph oriented and
installed upon previously-existing data, not focused on content management.
Gephi on steroids.
-
*Webanno* (
https://webanno.github.io/webanno/) which is specifically
targeted at linguistically annotating the internet, not really creating
content.
-
*Wikibase*: A heavily modified wikibase might be what I'm left with. In
this scenario I'd make a Mediawiki, turn it into Wikibase, and kinda hack a
blog out of it. Less than satisfying but would work if needed.
-
I also tried *wiki.js* (SUCH A NICE INTERFACE, but it doesn't support
linked data yet) and *OntoWiki* (which looks like it also builds off a
preexisting knowledge graph)
-
*Anthologize*: (
https://anthologize.org/) also looks very close as a
wordpress plugin but it is not linked-data specific so I didn't explore
ways to make it so.
-
I've also explored *wordpress*
<https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-linked-data/> and Drupal plugins (one
<https://www.drupal.org/project/ldp>, two
<https://www.drupal.org/project/linked_data>, three
<https://www.drupal.org/project/ldt>) that are all obsolete or not
maintained anymore
My longterm goal with this is to create semantic libguides and blogs. I
really do think semantic libguides are NEARLY possible—maybe an API that
pulls knowledge graphs along and wikidata visualizations, along with some
blog-type software... I think it could be done, and I have some bits and
pieces of it, but not quite the whole sandwich (so to speak).
I'm partially doing this with an ALA grant I got for
www.histsex.com (soon
to be
www.histsex.org just in case you're clicking that in a week or so!).
This "bibliography" is all in omeka and it works effectively *like* a
libguide, but will need further plugins to make it all work as desired, so
I continue to investigate alternatives.
Perhaps this is something that a grant will be needed to do in a broader
way? Or is there something obvious I've missed here?
Thank you all for your time!
