VIE.js _("Vienna IKS Editables")_ is a JavaScript library for implementing [decoupled Content Management Systems](http://bergie.iki.fi/blog/decoupling_content_management/) and semantic interaction in web applications.
VIE.js _("Vienna IKS Editables")_ is a JavaScript library for implementing [decoupled Content Management Systems](http://bergie.iki.fi/blog/decoupling_content_management/) and semantic interaction in web applications. In short, VIE provides a bridge between [Backbone.js](http://backbonejs.org/) and the semantic web.

With VIE you can easily interact with RDFa-annotated content on your pages, as well as connect with various semantic services like [Apache Stanbol](http://incubator.apache.org/stanbol/) and [DBpedia](http://dbpedia.org/About).

All entities you deal with are managed in a centralized collection, and VIE provides ways to deal with namespaces, relations between entities, and if needed, your content type system.

VIE is used as the basis for a wide variety of tools ranging from [content annotators](http://szabyg.github.com/annotate.js/) to full [front-end editing interfaces](http://createjs.org/) and [semantic browser extensions](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/jdfdjaijjmmidgflabhapjfhcgdiijpb). You can find many of these from the _Widgets_ section of this site.

In short, VIE provides a bridge between [Backbone.js](http://backbonejs.org/) and the semantic web.

In addition to the examples below, you can also try out [VIE on jsFiddle](http://jsfiddle.net/germesin/7EYxP/).
