Would love to see an live example - seems too good to be true.
- thom 14y agoThat should be coming soon - our first product may well be a bespoke implementation for something like Magento as a demo, but the big game is letting anyone with structured data integrate. I'll be absolutely clear - some people's data is going to be difficult to work intelligently with, and in those cases we'll shift much more of the burden to the integrator. The sweet spot is obviously people with fairly clean data models - if you've got a standard Ruby on Rails app using Active Record, for example, your data is pretty friendly.
- krichman 14y agoI think it's going to take work from an integrator in all cases... How is it going to translate "developers free on Friday that know Javascript" into the three-way table join that you are asking for unless you first define "know" and "free" in terms of your database tables?
- thom 14y agoApologies if I implied we just magically work things out, there is indeed an setup process where you help the app learn your ontology and how it maps to your physical infrastructure. This is, however, an iterative process, and you're likely to be able to get off the ground in hours, not days. Some people's data will be beyond us, I freely admit - in those cases you can do the work and supply us with something more or less resembling RDF.
- krichman 14y agoI only object to what appeared to be magic. Now that I know there will be a setup it seems practical and useful. This is a great idea for exploring data, I hope you are wildly successful.
