# Enriching the Linked Data Web using your blog!
You can enrich the Linked Data Web through your own blog, all you have to do is add links to URIs on systems such as DBpedia and others on the Linked Data Graph. Of course it is quite handy if you have got a Semantic Blogging system such as:
- The ODS-Weblog or Wikipedia Instance on OpenLink Data Spaces.
- Drupal 7 (or Drupal 6 with the RDF Module)
- SemanticBlogging by Steve Cayzer
But these tend to create varying amounts of Semantic information, so to hook onto the Linked Data Web its good to get into the rhythm of adding URIs to important information keywords.
For example, if you are talking about Tony Blair on your blog, you could go to DBpedia onto the Tony Blair Document ( http://dbpedia.org/page/Tony_Blair ) to find out the URI for Tony Blair ( http://dbpedia.org/resource/Tony_Blair ). You can then explictly talk about Tony Blair in your blog post, just taking a random quote from “A Genuine Conversion or Act of Perjury?“:
British Catholics continue to debate Tony Blair’s entrance into the Church.
The Tony Blair above isn’t explictly the Tony Blair that used to be the Prime Minister. So we can explictly add the URI to his name, and some other URIs to the words British, Catholic and Church (code view):
<a href="http://dbpedia.org/resource/British">British</a> <a href="http://dbpedia.org/resource/Roman_Catholic_Church">Catholics</a> continue to debate <a href="http://dbpedia.org/resource/Tony_Blair">Tony Blair</a>'s entrance into the <a href="http://dbpedia.org/resource/Church">Church</a>
Even better, and something which I do is add the rel=”tag” microformats to what I think are the important keywords. So in this case I have tagged “Catholics” and “Tony Blair”:
<a href="http://dbpedia.org/resource/British">British</a> <a href="http://dbpedia.org/resource/Roman_Catholic_Church" rel="tag">Catholics</a> continue to debate <a href="http://dbpedia.org/resource/Tony_Blair" rel="tag">Tony Blair</a>'s entrance into the <a href="http://dbpedia.org/resource/Church">Church</a>
You can see that not only does this put the blog post on the Linked Data Web, but it also tags it and with a human and machine readable object rather than just a text based literal. This is all part of enriching the Linked Data Graph, a meaningful web. Welcome to the future of Blogging
