Suggested simplification of the syntax, and a small correction, from <a href="http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rdf-in-xhtml-tf/2008Oct/0026.html"

So the way I see this working for Taxonomy module is that a the URI for a publicly defined, shared ontology can be added to a Drupal term as metadata, which the proposed taxonomy_term_load hook would enable.

The release page as of October only showed 4.6 and a HEAD version from the same date (November 13, 2006) and about the same size. (Maybe HEAD was compatible with 4.7, i didn't try to use it, but that's the one examined below).

Here are the parts Agaric found interesting:

From foaf_user (implementation of hook_user), we see the addition of an HTML header and, in the content, a link to a FOAF download:

Responding to Lauramba's Using Alternate Login Module to Protect Your Site (she doesn't have comments enabled, so in addition to e-mailing through her contact form I'm posting here for posterity).

Hi Laura,

I agree with your post in theory, as in that approach would be a good idea, but alternate_login module doesn't do that– it still allows people to log in with the regular username, so it actually increases the chances people can guess a correct login.

Schema for Data Objects

in any given data object I have to make use of at least two taxonomies

<taxon>
...
<ScientificName>Argiope aurantia</ScientificName>

Major participatory thrust: Drupal multisites (eventually standalone) called LifeDesks

concentrating on expert taxonomists now
our goal is vetted content for EOL

lots of features in core taxonomy that we will want

canonical name
common name
hierarchical XML import

using APIs listed

RDF - Resource Description Framework
Sparql - an RDF query language

RDF by nature is a graph, whereas a relational database typically fits into tables. That's the biggest difference

Define parents to match your data set and it will create a subgraph.

Define graph please?

A graph is a label and a value.

My presentation for my CEO a year ago:

Relationships are directed. The relationship has a type and a direction.

If you just use a tag, you get a cloud.

"chx has a dropbox module in CVS, which'd provide a 'clipboard' for putting stuff into, for operations to be taken on later." (catch comment on Taxonomy improvements thread)

RDF has a very long, if quiet, history in Drupal core. In the year 2000, May 18, in what I think is the first commit to the still-going CVS repository that holds the Drupal project — back when Drupal was called drop — Dries Buytaert included a file called rdf.php.

Steven W. Merrill gave it and it was very good. That's all you need to know, plus this:
