Semantic Blogging Update

The semantic blogging project is officially finished. Code, javadocs, and lessons learnt report are all available. However, some promising semblogging activity continues.

Firstly, the code is being downloaded and played with. Whether this will lead to other, "perhaps even unexpected" uses as I mentioned in the lessons learnt report remains to be seen, but I am hopeful.

Secondly, the bibliographic metadata theme seems to have struck a chord with people like Bruce D'Arcus, who are interested and active in the complex world of bibliographic metadata standards

Thirdly, the ideas are being picked up by the research community, UK Universities and even a startup (about which, perhaps, more anon). I also have a couple of evaluation projects ongoing within HP to move semblogging from an interesting prototype to a usable tool.

For readers wanting to know more, the best bet is the short vision statement I presented at BlogTalk 2003. Other resources (including code) are available on the download page.

The project maintains its own blog, on which snippets and micro-news continue to be posted. However, regular updates will also be posted on this, the main SWAD-E blog.
