Steps

1. We’ll try to use existing WP templates, plugins and widgets, modifying them if necessary and releasing a semantic version (i.e. geolocation->wikimap, locallinks->wordpress wiki, events->EventCalendar3, Semantic MediaWiki, SemanticForms).
2. We’ll use WordPress custom fields and some markup to enter attributes and relations directly into text. These attributes are then stored as custom values and can also be viewed, changed, made as such.
3. We can display a rdf box below each post, using the attributes and relations defined within the post. Also all standard wordpress information (author date etc.) can be used in this rdf.
4. We’ll make an interface for these custom value relations and attributes that resides in the edit-post page. This interface would be more informative and easier to understand than the (coded) custom value pairs.
5. We’ll implement a way of listing posts using attributes and relations (queries) and a way of searching using these semantics.
