Last week I joined zemanta, probably the first user-friendly semantic application.

Today, I semantified my blog with triplify.

With triplify your blog will have the possibility to create mashups, exploit semantic search engines and many more options not yet explored!

It all looks kind of new and I haven’t concentrated yet on how to use the triplify data, but here is my guide on triplifying your blog.

How to semantify your blog

• Download and unzip the triplify script.
• Make the cache directory writable: chmod a+w cache/
• Edit the config.inc.php file. If you are on wordpress, drupal, wackowiki, openConf or OpenJournalSystems there is a complete example to download at the documentation. I would suggest though, to read this documentation as well, since it explains all parameters very well.
• Upload the triplify folder to your root directory of your site and type at your web browser: http://YOURURI/triplify. This will register your new RDF data source.
• And you’re done!

Slight change in my Configuration

By default triplify uses this code to read your database:

$triplify['db']=new PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=db','dbuser','dbpass');

This didn’t work for me, so I used:

$triplify['db']=mysql_connect('localhost','dbuser','dbpass');
mysql_select_db('db');

Upcoming and more information

I will return (hopefully) during the week with more information on triplify and its mashup possibilities with Yahoo!Pipes and other applications.

When I look at the Registry of triplify, I can see my blog but without any vocabulary or actual size. I suppose it just takes some time, until the data comes in.

I’m not sure though, so if anyone has any information on that one, it would be great.
