Converging with WP-LDP #2

Open balessan opened 7 years ago

Hello Angelo,

Here is Benoit, main contributor of this wordPress plugin: https://github.com/assemblee-virtuelle/wp-ldp We are a growing community working around Linked Data here in Paris !

The goal of our plugin is to be able to share ( in a standardised way ) profiles, projects and events information between an aggregated universe of site. In our mind, the Linked Data Platform is the way to go, and as WordPress is one of the more plebiscited CMS, we decided to build one POC in top of it.

I would really like to speak with you about converging on our two projects, as I was looking for a way to integrate WebID and to use wordPress content ( such as posts and users ) as Linked Data resources ( in the meatime we build our own post type for LDP resources ).

We are close to the SOLID ( https://github.com/solid/solid ) initiative too.

Let me know what you think of it !

Benoît.

Hi,

sounds cool. How may I support you? Do you want to merge the functionality of my plugin into yours, or what do you suggest?

Best regards, Angelo

I'd like to know the state in your plugin of the WebID creation and usage ? Is it working properly ? To me WebID seemed like a big and complex thing to integrate.

So yes, I would really like to work on integrating this support into our plugin, and probably use the same strategy ( #it fragment identifier for blog posts and #me for authors ). We first created a custom post type for Persons, separated from WordPress user system but I now think it is a bad idea.

If you're interested in helping for this merge, it would be really cool :-) I would also like to discuss possible improvements on both and philosophy besides them !

Best,

Hi, I am really sorry for the bad response rate. Unfortunately I am really busy at the moment.

wp-linked-data has no real WebId generation and is not complex in that way. It just serves author-data as Linked Data and provides the option to add a custom RSA public key. This is enough to use the profile as a WebID at services that provide a login with WebId. The real complexity of the WebId protocoll is in those services that need to verify an identiy.
