RDF is a W3C standard for modeling and sharing distributed knowledge based on a decentralized open-world assumption. This RDF package for Drupal 7 includes several modules to enhance the RDF and RDFa functionnalities which are part of Drupal 7 core.

  • RDFx provides APIs for developers to manipulate RDF data, as well as output Drupal's data as RDF/XML, nTriples or Turtle.
  • RDF UI allows site administrators to manage the RDF mappings of their site: alter default core mappings or specify mappings for the new content types and fields they create.
  • Evoc enables the import of RDF vocabularies (such as FOAF, SIOC, etc.) which the site administrator can use to map Drupal data to RDF.

== Install the RDF module ==

  1. Copy all the module files into a subdirectory called sites/all/modules/rdf/ under your Drupal installation directory.

  2. Install the ARC2 library following one of these 2 options:

    • run "drush rdfx-arc2" (recommended, it will download the right package and extract it at the right place for you.)
    • manual install: download the library from http://arc.semsol.org/download and extract it in the rdf module directory such that you end up with the following file structure: sites/all/modules/rdf/vendor/arc/ARC2.php
  3. Go to Administer >> Site building >> Modules and enable the RDFx module and any other module you like. You will find them in the "RDF" section.

== Credits == The original RDF module was written for Drupal 6 by Arto Bendiken. It has been refactored for Drupal 7 by Stéphane Corlosquet, Lin Clark and Richard Cyganiak, based on the RDF CCK and Evoc modules, which are now part of the main RDF package for Drupal 7.
