Comments on: The Joys of RDF http://thatcamp.org/2008/05/the-joys-of-rdf/ The Humanities and Technology Camp Fri, 21 Nov 2008 01:06:25 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: Douglas Knox http://thatcamp.org/2008/05/the-joys-of-rdf/#comment-34 Douglas Knox Thu, 08 May 2008 23:08:20 +0000 http://thatcamp.org/?p=13#comment-34 I'm not using RDF (other than playing with some of the Simile tools) but would like to hear the experience of people who are. If anybody has given any thought to Topic Maps, I would be interested in talking about that as well, either in comparison to RDF or independently. There are a couple of project ideas where I have thought Topic Maps would be an excellent fit conceptually, although the F/OSS tool situation there has its own challenges.

Most of the existing tools have a fairly steep learning curve that goes beyond RDF and into different implementation strategies and feature subsets. It might help if we could get together a list of RDF tools people are using and do a quick rundown of the trade-offs. If people want to get even deeper, we might explore web serving solutions, dereferencing, federation, etc. Would you might posting/commenting on the tools you are currently using in these areas?
