DokuSIOC - SIOC plugin for DokuWiki

version 0.1.2

DokuSIOC makes your wiki part of the Semantic Web!

DokuSIOC integrates the SIOC ontology within DokuWiki and provides an alternate RDF/XML export of the wiki pages. The plugin creates metadata with auto-discovery links and content negotiation, pings PingTheSemanticWeb.com on updates, and it provides linked data.

Note: The related techreport gives some more background information and explanations.

Udate: Who is using the DokuSIOC plugin?.

• Creates meta descriptions for sioc:UserAccount, sioct:WikiArticle and sioc:Container (incl. sioct:Wiki) and it includes information about next/previous versions, creator/modifier, contributors, date, content, container and inner wiki links between the articles.
• It adds a link to those meta descriptions in the HTML header.
• Pings pingthesemanticweb.com for new/edited content
• Linked Data
• Content Negotiation for application/rdf+xml requests
• Possibility to hide RDF content from search engines

• copy the archive URL of the stable version: ZIP or TAR.GZ, both they contain the latest stable release
• go to DokuWiki admin > Plugin management
• paste the URL and hit the Download button

This way you can use the update method from the plugin manager later.

• Download and unpack the ZIP- or TAR.GZ archive
• copy the dokusioc folder to the plugin directory of your DokuWiki (should be located in <yourdokuwikidir>/lib/plugins) (just overwrite the files if you upgrade from the poc version)

Go to the configuration page in your DokuWiki admin and configure:

• name of namespace for user sites (this is used for sioc:UserAccount URIs)
• the website the wiki is part of (used as sioc:Site)
• if the plugin should ping ptsw.com after a wiki article was edited/created (can only work in the latest DokuWiki version)
• soft check for testing the accepted header for the request (soft check: DokuSIOC only tests if application/rdf+xml is accepted but it deosn't rank the quality parameter)
• send noindex: DokuSIOC will send X-Robots-Tag: noindex header for RDF documents to prevent search engines from indexing the RDF views

Currently the plugin is not very wide tested, maybe you can help, e.g. how is it behaving if DokuWiki uses nice URLs through mod_rewrite or with complex ACL. Please submit bug reports and feature requests to the DokuSIOC issue tracker at Github. Would be nice to hear from you: haschek@eye48.com

Update: Lists of bugs and upcoming features have been moved to the issue tracker.
