A summary of topics discussed via social media by our team last week :

For week ending Friday, 2019-06-14

• Virtuoso: Easy to install, scaleable, and secure!!

• SPASQL examples in our @github repo that demonstrate reasoning and inference applied to SchemaOrg terms for HowTo guides.

• Variant of reasoning and inference exercise using rdfs:subClassOf and rdfs:subPropertyOf entity relationship type semantics

• Natural Earth Provides a massive collection of ESRI Shape Files (.shp) that provide a cool dataset for GeoSPARQL exploitation, once transformed into LinkedData using Virtuoso

• SPARQL + HTTP fusion, in user-friendly form via @datasniff
  Easy tweaks to queries and associated #DataVisualization. Nigeria, Ghana, England populated areas

• Use OpenLink’s ODBC-JDBC Bridge driver to access @SAPInMemory from Excel on macOS

• Generating an entity relationship graph from CSV via @drawio.
  Implications? CSV docs are one of the many formats supported by Virtuoso’s SPARQL implementation. Another example of natural data integration that benefits from a #SemanticWeb of #LinkedData.

• What is the Linked Open Data (LOD) Cloud, and why is it important?
  Sheds light on the stealthy nature of a massive KnowledgeGraph that showcases the vision and practical utility of a SemanticWeb constructed using LinkedData principles. Additionally addresses fundamental challenges and solutions of economic viability and functional business-model options.

• Circa 1992 we designed the Multi-Tier Middleware architecture that still underlies our ODBC and JDBC Drivers today.
