Excuse me let me be a good role model on continuous archiving. One of the reasons I am excited about academics adopting Mastodon is because ActivityPub is built on Linked Data, which i think inspires the possibility for fundamentally new modes of scholarly communication. I have written about this in the past (10.48550/arXiv.2209.07493, but will do my best to decenter my own ideas except for when I am using them as a demonstration for others as part of a demonstration of using the technology developed for the workshop

To add to the Reading List#Linked Data on Linked Data, Standards, and Collaboration: a piece from one of the authors of ActivityPub on the merger of the distributed messaging and linked data communities that I think puts into context what a massive achievement AP was http://dustycloud.org/blog/on-standards-divisions-collaboration/

Haven't finished n-back thread capture yet but this rocks and let's keep track of it on the wiki. Scroll up in this thread for SEPIO + ActivityStreams/ActivityPub + JSON-LD. On a train now and having to work on some other stuff but this is making me unreasonably excited to check out later

Project Ideas#Linked Data Publishing On Activitypub

ooh I'm very interested in this. so are you thinking a Twitter#Bridge -> ActivityPub#Bridge where one could use markup within the twitter post to declare Linked Data#Markup Syntax and then post to AP? I have thought about this kind of thing before, like using a bot command syntax to declare prefixes by doing something like ``` @ bot prefix foaf: https:// (ontology URL) ``` or ``` @ bot alias term: foaf.LongerNameForTerm ``` so that one could do maybe a semantic wikilink like `[ [term::value] ]` either within the tweet or as a reply to it (so the tweet itself doesn't become cluttered/it can become organized post -hoc?).

I've also thought about a bridge (I called Threadodo ) that implements that kind of command syntax to be able to directly archive threads to Zenodo along with structured information about the author, but this seems more interesting.

I can help try and clear some of the groundwork out of the way to make it easier for you and other interested participants to experiment. I have asked around fedi a bunch for a very minimal AP server implementation, and I could try and find one (or we could try and prototype one) if you want to experiment with that :), and I can also document and show you a tweepy-based bot that has an extensible command/parsing system too
