- EngineerBetter 8y agoHa, my sole experience of RDF was on an EU-funded research project :)
- salex89 8y agoI chuckled on the EU research grants part. My God, when I remember the monstrosities I was thinking up just to bodge in Semantic Web/Linked Data. Those guys are purely fueled by buzzwords. Maybe we met somewhere :) . "Semantic data is the future and always will be" - unknown author.
- CeiII 8y ago"Semantic data is the future and always will be" - unknown author." - Pretty sure it was Peter Norvig
- kodz4 8y agoWhat do you think Google, Facebook, Siri and Alexa use for their underlying knowledge graphs?
- pjc50 8y agoThey have knowledge graphs? I thought it was all machine learning now. (That was a glib comment, but could we be a bit more specific about what's being repreented with RDF and other technologies, and for what purposes it's used and how?)
- kodz4 8y agoYa right machine learning. Machine learning over what? Comments on the internet? Donald Trump would automatically be classified as an Orange. The knowledge graph is a massive manual effort of encoding triples - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freebase https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freebase.
- mcguire 8y agoA dead effort?
- riku_iki 8y agoFreebase wasn't built on RDF though, but had all it's own formats and query language.

- riku_iki 8y agoThe fact that they exported their data in form of RDF for other's convenience doesn't mean they built it on RDF.
- nbaksalyar 8y ago> What else remains? SPARQL. It's useful beyond Semantic Web, as evidenced by the raise of projects such as GraphQL. It can replace proprietary REST APIs and make the Web more connected and open. For e.g. see this short talk by Ruben Verborgh [1] and projects like Solid [2].

- ungzd 8y agoWikidata is built mostly on RDF ideas. For example, there's SPARQL query interface for it: https://query.wikidata.org/ https://query.wikidata.org/ Schema.org is heavily used by search engines and metadata in its format is found on many websites. It's an RDF-based format.
