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), 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 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 (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 and Drupal plugins (one, two, three) 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!
