Christine Lemmer-WebberOh want to get mad at me again? How about a quote from me on Hack & Craft tonight
"Now I don't think that the RDF world is full of bad ideas! I just think it's full of bad thinkers"
infinite love ⴳ@cwebber in all seriousness it's not the ideas or the thinkers, it's actually a discovery issue from what i've found mostly. for someone who's unfamiliar with it all, what's your entry point? how do you play around with the smallest possible slice of the problem space? for something like a database people know mariadb and postgres but if you ask them to pick out a triple store could they even name one? maybe they can write a sparql query, but how do they execute it?
@cwebber i'd also add that there seems to be a much higher proportion of offerings that are proprietary or cost money. if you're not netflix or the bbc, then you're kind of cut off from the good tooling that a lot of people recommend. so you either have to load documents into memory with something like rdflib in python, or get your jvm setup so you can run... apache jena? rdf4j? i'm not really sure what i'd recommend to most people...
