Samizdat: RDF model for an open publishing and cooperation engine

The talk gives perspective on open publishing systems, their advantages and limitations, explains design goals of the Samizdat project, and describes an RDF model that provides transparent and extensible mapping of site resources into RDF semantics. Intended plan of the talk:

• introduction to open publishing
• overview of existing open publishing engines (Active, MirCode, Scoop)
• analysis of requirements and wishlists of the open publishing community
• overview of Samizdat design goals
• Samizdat RDF model: concepts overview and application examples
• RDF storage and other implementation considerations

For more details, see the Samizdat home page and project page on Savannah. Please note that Samizdat is still in design stage, and actual contents of the talk may change depending of the project progress. This also means that any comments are welcome, both on talk contents and on Samizdat design.
