Thanks for the followup. Your assurance that Fuseki2 is as capable as Fuseki1 was all I needed to do a bit more work with with.
Regarding the comment about open source in general, I agree with the quote you posted. I've been active in the open source community as a contributor for quite a long time. I think it's important to note that "contributor" can mean many things, and not just writing code. I was involved in an open source for higher education organization for many years as a documentation coordinates, took over maintenance of the conference management application used by their annual conferences and served on the program committee for those conferences for five years. I did write some code for the project but that wasn't my major contribution. As I said, I had not looked at Fuseki2 in several weeks and not because my interaction was based only on hope. I just have too many other projects I'm working on, almost all open source related, to be engaged as much as I like with various open source project I use. Several of those projects are related to the Open Source Vivo semantic web application (vivoweb.org) for which I've not only made quite a few code contributions to the core code but am the official maintainer of a suite of data ingest tools (which use Jena) that are used by VIVO. Additionally, I have built a configuration of Fuseki going back to when it was called Joseki and bundled it up and put it on our wiki so that it could be used by the VIVO open source community. In fact, just before I posted the message about Fuseki2 yesterday I had built a version from the latest Fuseki-1.1.1 code, put it on our wiki, and announced it's availability on our developers mailing list. Now that I know the status of Fuseki2 I'll be building a Fuseki2 configuration as well and will be using it for another VIVO related project, but for the international Agriculture domain (I'm also the unofficial liaison for the use of VIVO internationally). -----Original Message----- From: Andy Seaborne [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, January 10, 2015 6:55 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Fuseki with a web.xml John, It's helpful if you could describe the specific features that didn't look complete and what you are looking for for your project. Monty Widenius (of MariaDB fame and a certain other database) put it succinctly: there are 3 ways to interact with an open source project: contribute; sponsor; hope. Laurens Rietveld contriuted integration on the query tab with his YASGUI javscript user interface for SPARQL endpoints. Fuseki2 is currently at least as capable as Fuseki1, which didn't have any admin. It's the UI that's most new about Fuseki2. For production use Fuseki1, had no UI. Fusek1 is deployed as a OS service (or some custom setup). Fuseki2 can run that way - it is compatible with Fuseki1 configuration. It can also run from a WAR file dropped into a webapp conatiner such as Tomcat. The execution of SPARQL protocols is the same as Fuseki1, just cleaned up code. Fuseki2 adds security via Apache Shiro. With Shiro, the admin functions are locked down to "localhost". Fuseki1 and Fuseki2 are both in the main Jena build and will be in the next release (before you ask "soon" - we can't set dates with any reliability because none of us have allocated Jena time; see "contribute; sponsor; hope"). Not everything will be complete by Fuseki v2.0.0 but it will be at least as good a Fuseki1, unless you liked the plain old HTML pages. (there is no velocity templating anymore). "production ready" for open source is really when users consider it ready for their usage. Personally, I'd run it in preference to Fuseki1 now. Fuseki1 remains to risk-reduce the transistion from my point-of-view. Andy On 10/01/15 00:01, Trevor Donaldson wrote: > Not production ready, yet? Oh no. :-( > On Jan 9, 2015 6:59 PM, "John A.
