Dan Brickey in Galway, or how to get Drupal'd in a few hours

This week we had Dan Brickley visiting DERI. Dan co-started the FOAF project in 2000, and is also involved in the SIOC project which is mainly based here in DERI. That was the occasion to have several sessions of brainstorming about various aspects of SIOC including dataportability (John presented his slides), the recent change in the Dublin Core ontology, URIs and best practices for publishing SIOC data, and finally some domain modifications (some of them came from the Drupal RDF Schema I've been working on). This lead to a few changes on the ontology. A digest of these sessions is being written.

While he was in Galway, Dan expressed an interest in Drupal, which is already used on sioc-project.org. We had a few opportunities to meet and I demoed him the flexibility of this great tool. Laura joined us for a bit, and I thought it could be useful to share this, so below is the rundown of what we did in a few hours.
