Stéphane Corlosquet’s presentation on SW and Drupal was really exciting. I already knew about the plans of Drupal 7 to incorporate RDF management from the start, that all Drupal 7 pages will be annotated via RDFa. The RDFa community has been fairly excited about that for a while now. But the work done by Stéphane and others provide some additional modules that makes it easy to add a SPARQL endpoint to a Drupal based site easily, to import other RDF content, or to manage the vocabularies used on the pages and the like. They already have such a system running with the current Drupal, but these modules will become part of the standard Drupal 7 module set that one can download from the drupal site. And that is cool. It significantly lowers the barrier to build Web sites that are prepared to be part of the Linked Data cloud, even if the system administrators are not SW experts. I expect this to open up quite a lot of possibilities…
