Notebook: Semantics,

  • stemming-based search seems to perform poorly – i.e. cannot find phrases, weight terms in titles, etc, just most frequently occuring terms in a post. Trying lunr, loads full text into memory but should do so only on selecting search bar? See issue #7

  • Modified google-analytics plugin to make single call to the API see issue #66

  • Tuning RDFa, primarily on vita. #22 #63. Tuned FOAF referencing to common nodes. Note that rel always applys to links while property applies to the content of the tag (e.g. anchor text, span context). Use rel in span and div elements, etc, to apply to multiple links.
