Last night I did some digging into installing whiteboard capability for WP and was pleased to find it has just been implemented -- See http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/SVG_whiteboard for links and discussion. The below text is from a dude named Danny Ayers--I inquired of him because of his apparent experience dealing with a wiki implementation of an SVG whiteboard and various similar SVG related issues. We dont even have true SVG viewing capability yet though...
As if there wasnt enough on the collective plate already, -S- --- Hi Stevertigo, I just got your comment on my blog re. SVG Whiteboard. I'll be happy to help if I can.
You might also be interested in is what I've got in mind for the Wiki code I'm working on. I plan to generate RDF metadata from all pages - most of this will be from the RSS 1.0 vocabulary, but I'll also have to create some custom terms (like "WikiWord"). Basically provide machine-readable data about the knowledge contained in the Wiki. This would (IMHO) be a wonderful extension for the Wikipedia, for example, where appropriate entries in the Wikipedia could be automatically cross-referenced with WordNet and dmoz entries. Putting it on the Semantic Web is a nice visionary thing too.
As with the WikiWhiteboard, the implementation would be different (I'm primarily using Java, though I think Eugene's version is in Perl), but the RDF-specific parts would be the same in the same way that the SVG parts can stay the same across Wikis.
Cheers, Danny.
