This week, I attended the 7th IKS Community Workshop in Salzburg, Austria, on the topic “ Semantic Enterprise Technologies in action and explained” to present the CMF editor done by Liip. The presentation formed part of a session about how IKS' semantic technologies can be implemented for editing content.
Henri Bergius kicked off the session by telling the community about “ decoupled content management“. He talked about the editor Create.js that integrates semantic technologies offered by IKS. These include VIE and Apache Stanbol, which are being further developed by the IKS community.
Liip's CMF Editor uses the VIE library and the Hallo editor. The CMF Sandbox is a working implementation running on the Symfony2 PHP framework. The work done is available as LiipViebundle. The features have also been merged into the latest version of Create.js. Liip will soon update the VieBundle to fully use Create.js.
In my demo I went on to give a general overview about the interface of the editor which features editing in place, tagging suggestions based on page content, automatic tagging of media assets, and automatic article relationships.
In a previous blog post we've already showed you some demo screencasts.
The Salzburg gathering offered intensive knowledge sharing and hacking for developers in the community as well as researchers and business people interested in semantic technologies. The workshop was held in the beautiful Schloss Leopoldskron which offered a nice location despite mostly rainy weather.
The slides of my presentation can be viewed online.
