right, but they have a close association as OP says, and RDF is wrongly dismissed for similar reasons as XML (too complex, too much ceremony, too difficult, not enough value)
- smsm42 3y agoAs somebody who worked with RDF and SPARQL for several years, none of these are actually true - RDF is very simple to work with (especially if you avoid XML stuff), can be operated on by basic string processing tools, and is conceptually pretty simple once you get into the right mindset. I think it's just suffering from bad documentation being overexposed and good examples under-exposed.
- phpnode 3y agoI agree, it just has a bad reputation and there’s few obvious and well known success stories
- e9 3y agoCan you please recommend me an intro tutorial? I’m trying to query DataCommons and it’s really hard to figure out even simple queries.
- smsm42 3y agoWikidata has basic tutorial here https://m.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:SPARQL_tutorial https://m.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:SPARQL_tutorial Which has a lot of wikidata specific stuff but allows to get the basics.
