WP2TM Changes

I’ve changed the Wordpress Topic Maps Plugin a bit, so that the produced topic map is more correct (thanks for input :)). I’ve tried using PSIs where possible (from e.g. Ontopedia and Techquila), and have sought inspiration (=>”copy+paste”) from Dmitry’s XTM feed over at SubjectCentric.com. A few issues remain:

• I’ve had problems getting the darn get_tag(_x) functions of Wordpress to work, and hence do not yet output Blog Post <-> Tag associations. I intend to figure this one out, though, and create dc:subject associations scoped by the post’s author.
• Should the subject identity of a category (category PSI anyone?) take the form of a subject indicator, or a subject locator? In other words: is it what you find at the end of the URL that is the category? I believe not, so I’ve left these as indicators for now … objections?
• XTM fragments for individual posts (todo)
• Users should be able to set options via admin interface (next version, I guess)

I’ll make a new home for the plugin at www.topicobserver.com/wp2tm, so that this blog won’t fill up with entries like the one you just read…
