Testing Medium as Nanotation Platform
Nanotation [1] is a mechanism for crafting structured data using a controlled-natural language based notation e.g., RDF-Turtle. Fundamentally, this boils down to taking notes for knowledge building and future recall that goes beyond the “tagging & bookmarking” patterns. Here are some notes I hope to recover (in machine- and human-comprehensible form) once the address (URL) of this post is passed on to my nanotation processor:
{
## The following sentences state the following, in English:
## This document is an instance of a BlogPost Class, as defined by the schema.org vocabulary
## The document name/title is “Testing Medium as a Nanotation Platform”
## Other properties (name->value pairings) of this document include:
## schema:mainEntity, schema:relatedLink, skos:related.
## That’s it! You have a collection of sentences comprehensible to a human and/or machine [which converts this to Linked Data i.e., web-like structured data]
## Actual Nanotations start from here

a schema:BlogPosting ;

If everything works out, I’ll be sharing translations of my notes above as comments associated with this post. Fingers crossed!
