Lewis, I am a committer on Apache Jena and am one of the authors of "Linked Biomedical Dataspace: Lessons Learned Integrating Data for Drug Discovery" ( http://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-319-11964-9_8 also at https://www.researchgate.net/publication/264558653_Linked_Biomedical_Dataspace_Lessons_Learned_integrating_Data_for_Drug_Discovery) as part of that project I developed a federated query engine across multiple large scale SPARQL endpoints. I am also the developer of the Jena Security layer (framework to provide restrictions on graphs down to the triple layer if needed). You can read more about me at https://ie.linkedin.com/in/claudewarren
I live in Galway but will be in Las Vegas the week before ApacheCon. Assuming I can get time off work. Would there be any chance of getting travel / lodging assistance to ApacheCon if I am presenting one or two talks? Any assistance in this matter would be appreciated.
