Abstract

The web of data has continued to expand thanks to the principles of Linked Data, increasing its impact on the web both in its depth and range of data sources. However tools allowing ordinary web users to contribute to this web of data are still lacking. In this paper we propose Linked Data CMS, an approach allowing existing web content management system (CMS) software to be configured to display a web site based on a group of ontology classes, by making use of a configuration to map ontological entities to CMS entities. We have implemented a prototype of our Linked Data CMS approach using the popular Drupal CMS. This approach provides the tools for semantic web application developers to rapidly develop an entire website based on linked data, while allowing ordinary web users to contribute directly to the web of data using familiar CMS tools.
