Steve had interesting RDF-ish ideas about how to get data bundles to
"knit up" at the edges.
This leaves me agog for More Information! Is there any nearby you?
No. I dug around my archival stuff. But I don't have anything. I
remember having deep philosophical discussions with him about this
but it's been swept from my brain pretty thoroughly.
What little I remember has to do with triplets, much like RDF, used
to describe the bits and pieces of the data. Think road networks. How
do you work your way from Boston to New York and someone else works
the other way and realize you are on the same road? Somehow his idea
was to describe enough about the roads so you could figure out how to
connect the two even if they were in different data sets with
different schemas.
I think you'll have to track him down instead...
