A PHP library for Ontopia-CMS Integration
Article, was published by Tomáš Kliegr, Jakub Balhar, and Andrej Hazucha at 2010-09-30
This paper presents a library for integrating PHP-based content management systems with remote knowledge bases. The library composes of three components. Through the administration component the admin user defines queries, which are locally remembered and parameterized, and XSLT transformations that are used to visualize the results of the query against the knowledge base. The WYSIWYG editor-plugin component allows the user to include the query into CMS documents. The content component is called during the rendering of the document page and ensures that queries included in the page get executed and their results embedded into the page as HTML fragments. The library is currently integrated with Joomla! CMS system and was tested against the TMRAP interface of Ontopia Knowledge Suite, a SPARQL endpoint and a custom restful wrapper for Berkeley XML database. This work also presents an experimental domain-specific GUI-based query designer.

As a former information scientist, I am fascinated since 1999 by the capabilities for building Topic Maps-based knowledge systems having the potential to augment human mind. One can model arbitrary knowledge organization systems, deal with semantic heterogeneity, collocate all facts about one subject in one logical place, and with TMQL have semantic retrieval on federated semantic networks. Therefore I expect bright prospects for business concepts building on the exchange of such knowledge snippets via semantic knowledge services.
