So, here’s a thing. Usually you talk to a company about introducing Linked Data technologies to their existing IT infrastructure, emphasising that you can add stuff to work with existing systems (low risk, low cost etc.) to improve all sorts of stuff (silo breakdown, comprehensive dashboards, etc..)
But what if you start from scratch? So, the company wants to base all its stuff around Linked Data technologies, starting with information about employees, what they did and are doing, projects, etc., and moving on to embrace the whole gamut. (Sort of like a typical personnel management core, plus a load of other related DBs.) Let’s say for an organisation of a few thousand, roughly none of whom are technical, of course. It’s a pretty standard thing to need, and gives great value. Is there a solution out of the box for all the data capture from individuals, and reports, queries, etc.? Or would they end up with a team of developers having to build bespoke things? Or, heaven forfend!, would they end up using conventional methods for all the interface management, and then have the usual LD extra system? Any thoughts? -- Hugh Glaser 20 Portchester Rise Eastleigh SO50 4QS Mobile: +44 75 9533 4155, Home: +44 23 8061 5652
