Five years ago, the open-source Semantic MediaWiki (SMW) project was started to create software to enable a new type of wiki-based environment based on these principles. The semantic trend is to add standardized metadata to everything under the sun, think Twitter Annotations, RDFa, Linked Open Data Cloud, Data.gov, etc.

Rubygems used YAML to hold metadata about each gem submitted to it. An attacker was able to create a malicious gem, cause the Rubygems web application to evaluate the metadata contained in it, and thereby compromise the Rubygems server infrastructure. Every publicly accessible Redmine instance which is not patched will be compromised.

As a person earns badges from multiple sources, they’re all stored in a private repository called the Mozilla Backpack.
