Interesting lecture:

Existing content management systems and weblogging tools are based on rigid database designs that suffer from a lack of flexibility in the face of an ever increasing need for new types of structured data and metadata. By modifying these systems to use RDF as the native storage format, they may be easily extended in ways unimagined by the original designers. I present just such a system, a combination of the Movable Type weblogging tool and the Redland RDF Application Framework, showing examples of how the system can more easily adapt to diverse semantic annotation needs.

Which also took me to the idea of modifying existing blooging user interfaces (the weak spot of most blogging tools) by injecting custom, datatype specific interfaces through Greasemonkey. User interputs could then transparently get translated into the markup the user would have to write manually without such a helper.
