Semantic blogging is aimed at strengthening traditional blogging by using Semantic Web technologies. Blog entries are enriched with semantic metadata. However, authoring metadata is not easy for normal users. Today semantic blogging offers limited only semantic capabilities. It is still difficult to navigate through semantically related entries, search and organize the relevant blog. OntoBlog attempts to resolve these issues, linking blogs to maintain an existing ontology using available ontology management environment.

OntoBlog is a semantic blogging prototype system which employs a semi-automatic semantic annotation of the blog entries using ontology cases. Blog entries are automatically assigned to cases related to the use of language processing techniques. The rich structure of ontology with a different semantic relationships, enhanced convection, might allow semantic useful capabilities. Semantic navigation allows users to navigate through each blog entry to semantically related blog entries. Semantic search can be employed in blogs. Semantic aggregation collect relevant blog entries on the topic of interest and organizes them constructively.
