Hello,
I just joined the mailing list so please forgive me if I'm repeating questions others have asked or things others have said. I was years ago a professional programmer, now just an amateur and hobbyist. I've been hanging around for a couple of years on the fringes of the forum and chat rooms of Tim Berners Lee's project called Solid. I became convinced that this project would take the world by storm. I've also been enthusiastic about linked data, rdf, and owl, and hopeful that if they are widely used they could reduce or eliminate confusion or uncertainty in many areas, among them law and history. These days I'm not so confident that linked data and Solid can live up to all the promises. The main reason I am questioning this is that these things are apparently not being pursued as free software projects for the benefit of users and society at large. So I'm wondering, what are the views of those involved with the FSF regarding linked data and Solid? I'm wondering mainly about long term goals and ideals but am also interested in technical aspects as far as I'm able to understand them. Are there any projects planned or in progress at the FSF that will use linked data or Solid? Thank you very much, Tom Gallivan _______________________________________________ libreplanet-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.libreplanet.org/mailman/listinfo/libreplanet-discuss
