Hi All
My question is what do you guys use triplestores for?
Thanks

Yes, I absolutely agree Eric - I am not sure if it is because we have no
National Library - it might just be because of the US notions of individuality
and freedom of commerce - as a country, we just won't tell anyone what to do,
even if it’s to be open.
LIBER open data agreement:
A triplestore is basically a database backend for RDF triples. The major
benefit is that it allows for SPARQL querying. You could imagine a triplestore
as being the same thing as a relational database that can be queried with SQL.
The drawback that I have run into is that unless you have
I recently extended Fuseki to hook into a Solr index for geographic query
for one of our linked data projects, and I'm happy with the results so far.
It will open the door for us to build more sophisticated geographic
visualizations. I have not extended Fuseki for Lucene/Solr based full text
I can not speak much on the Linked Open Data but I think the reason you see so
much more Linked Data in Europe is that they have been working with RDF in
research and development projects much longer then we have here in the US (i.e.

Interesting concept, can you give me any examples of their usage, what kinds of
data etc.?

Stuart,
Since triplestores, in essence, store graph data I think a slightly better
question is what can you do with graph data (if you do not mind me rephrasing
you question).
From this perspective I would point to Facebook or LinkedIn as prime examples
of what can be done with graph data.
Yep, yep, and yep.
Plus I'd add that the lack of centralization of library direction (read:
states) is also a hindrance here. Having national leadership would be
great. Being smaller also wouldn't hurt.

With graph data it is much easier to search for an author (lets say Jane
Austen) and find not only all of the books that she authored but also all
of the books about her, all of the books that are about similar topics,
published in similar periods. One can then imaging hopping from the

It all depends very much on what sorts of data you're dealing with, and how

Sarah,
I should have probably chosen a different word, or at least explained it
better. One of the advantages that SPARQL has over SQL is simplicity of the
syntax. There are many simple SPARQL queries that in SQL would require multiple
outer joins. This simplicity does not necessarily relate

Yes, the Default Folder and anything you’ve added to it while not logged in
will be added to your list of folders if you log in. So an absent-minded user
