As described in one previous postings, I want to develop a demonstrator which shows more sophisticated reblogging (or in general resource reusing) as current non-semantic tools allow.

More sophisticated means:

1) The user should be able to choose if the resources should be reblogged by reference or by value! If resources are reblogged by reference only the references are copied and embedded. The reblogged resource is a mirror of the original resource. If resources are reblogged by value, the values are copied and the tow instances of the same resource are independent and disconnected.

2) The information about the origin of a reblogged resource should be understandable for machines and humans.

3) Optionally (via an advanced tab) the user should be able to define how resources should be reused (via expressing the relations between resource to reuse and internal resources).

I will need to develop a FireFox Add-On which detects (such as Semantic Radar or Operator already do)  “reblogable” items (e.g. resources of type sioc:Post) and allows users to select which items they want to reblog, where they want to reblog them (this will be limited to Wordpress based blogs at the beginning) and optionally how they should be reblogged.

The references, of the selected items to reblog, are embedded in a newly created skeleton post (or skeleton comment –> depending on the optionally defined advanced relations) at the target application.

The idea was to embed the references directly into the content of the Blog Posting and use RDFa to describe how this reference is related with the rest. This would mean that the sioc:content of a sioc:Post does not only contain text, but also sioc:embeds resources. (related sioc-dev community discussion can be found here)

Lastly I must also develop a Wordpress plug-in which enables Wordpress to fetch external resources by reference and display them.
