Intoducing LH Tools.
LH Tools is a WordPress extension that adds an (ARC-based) RDF Store and SPARQL Endpoint to the WordPress blogging system. The store is kept separate from the WP tables (i.e. it’s not a wrapper), but you can use WP’s nice admin screens to configure it, it and embed it using the large number of developer-friendly hooks that WP offers. It is based on the original work by Ben Nowack.
If are interested you can read about it here: https://lhero.org/portfolio/lh-tools/
and download it here: https://wordpress.org/plugins/lh-tools/. And interrogate this sites local endpoint here:
https://shawfactor.com/wp-content/plugins/lh-tools/
Whilst this can be used on a standalone basis, it is most useful when combined with the other LH (LocalHero) plugins:
LH RDF: https://lhero.org/portfolio/lh-rdf/
Which exposes a large part of the WordPress data as sematic rdf content
and
LH Relationships: https://lhero.org/portfolio/lh-relationships/
Which enables semantic linking between wordpress posts, pages, categories, and other objects. These three extensions used in combination enable a true semantic CMS and I’m curious what can be done now. I’ll add additional documentation and proof of concepts of what is possible in time.

Hello,
My name is Andrew, I am with WebHostingHub Support. We have found your LH Tools plugin at https://shawfactor.com/2012/03/29/lh-tools-a-sparql-endpoint-for-wordpress/ very interesting and we would like to translate it to Spanish language to help people from Hispanic community. Do I have your permission to do that?
I hope I’ll hear from you soon.

[…] What’s the easiest way to put it up?, Here! I’ve been working with LH-Tools which is commented on at its authors site, and LH-RDF. I did not get this to finish satisfactorily, mainly based on my lack of SPARQL skills. […]
