XTM Feed Plugin For Wordpress

Dmitry wishes to see more blogs in XTM format.

Now, this is far from being a Topic Maps driven blog, or blog in XTM-format, but I figured it would be fun to write a Topic Maps “feed” plugin for Wordpress (inspired by Lars Marius Garshol’s Blog Metadata in Topic Maps).

So from today (or evening, if you wish), this blog delivers an XTM 1.0 feed. The plugin’s source code is not perfect — and kinda ugly, but feel free to look at it and/or use it if you wish to (I wont guarantee anything, of course, not even the accuracy of the outputted topic map ;).

I’ll probably freshen it up a bit and perhaps add it to Wordpress plug-ins, but first I have to add stuff such as topic map fragment for individual posts, “Tag” <-> “Entry” associations, etc. (see comments in code). Will try to do some more work on it this weekend.

Update: the WordPress to Topic Maps plugin that this post refers to has been made publicly available at Wordpress.org.
