[Bibdesk-users] RDF export development

[James H. <jho...@sy...>]

And we get to episode 3 ...

The rdf export is a great idea.  I envision using this to publish an 
ongoing annotated bibliography (which develops into a 
referenceBlogWikiThing, see below).

I'd like the feed to be configurable so that it looks something like 
this when displayed in an rdf reader:

<b>A wonderful article</b> by <i>Ms Wonderful</b>
Ms Wonderful (2002) "A wonderful article" Journal of Wonderfulness 
48(4) URL:<a href=

Abstract:  Their blah blah

Annotation:  Sure they wrote some cool stuff but it was all covered by 
the article I covered last week <a href="permalink/to/fabulous02">A 
fabulous article</a>.

Now the majority of this could be done through a more configurable RDF 
feed generator in Bibdesk - The template would look something like this 
^blah means the blah field of the relevant bibtex record:

<item>
<title>^Title by ^Author</title>
<link>^url</link>
<description>
^htmlcite{citekey}

Abstract: ^abstract

Annotation: ^annote
</description>
</item>

Note that the ^annote macro would have to read the \cite{fabulous02} 
typed into the annote field and during the RSS export convert that to a 
reference that makes sense in the context of an RSS feed - on blogs 
this type of cross citing is done with permalinks (meaning that we'd 
need to write an xml-rpc interface) or through wikiwords.

Is this the type of direction you wanted to take the RDF feed in?

Thanks,
James
