   Being a java-ist, I could not consider to learn JS without a proper type system, and a proper IDE (with autocompletion, static analysis & refactoring facilities). TypeScript & VSCode/IntelliJ save my day now. More advanced prog

   How do you enforce a commit policy in your projects? Do you automate it? Or do you provide feedback by mail, IM, ... to the author when a commit mistake is detected?

   Let's say you want to query Wikipedia for village descriptions, and get a map of matched villages from openstreetmap. Would it be a use case where GraphQL could help? Then it would need a "translation" layer for both systems.

   How do you deal with IDs misalignment between data sources?
10. 850.▲
    by lolive 9y ago

    Ok. And the join strategy (i.e IDs alignment) between data sources is defined (declaratively? Programmatically?) in the "translation" layer. Sounds very interesting. I still think the URIs of the semantic web are a better idea, b

    And if you can also elaborate on why SPARQL and RDF were a major failure, and how GraphQL is different/better?

    So GraphQL is a graph abstraction over REST APIs, at the cost of massive REST calls to rebuild a graph. True?

    by lolive 9y ago

    Basically, GraphQL is a revamping of SPARQL (you know, the W3C language to query RDF databases). FYI, DBPedia is a big big endpoint for these old-school technologies. My question is then: - will there be a "standard" way to descri

    One of the benefit of SPARQL is that you can extract a subset of a given dataset as RDF. And can inject it into another RDF graph. Eventually, you can build-up your dataset by picking subsets of other datasets, and link your own data graph

    Very basically, XML is a document format. Inherited from SGML. The point of the statement is to say that all the "clever tricks" that XML permits (entities, encoding, well-formedness, validation, ...) make it unsafe to manage by

    This is absolutely optional. You can use " instead. You then need to escape the " as you would in JSON.

    Note: This is a completely optional feature of N3: N3 can also express rules to apply upon data. For example, add this to the above definition: { ?x :studiedAt ?y } => { ?y a :EducationalInstitution }. and that infers the following obje
