What's a modern, easy to get started with RDF-compatible database?
The problem with the "semantic web" projects is that they are always proposing "pie in the sky" projects that require a big leap of faith to get invested on. I see solidproject.org as an example of this.I've been exploring semantic technologies from the cold and incredible practical angle of "my own needs" :-). The RDF model offers a lot even when keeping data for myself: I can use RDF to infer new things from existing data and visualize relationships. An RD
Look at wikidata, RDF and semantic web. This is somewhat a well solved problem that should not be solved differently again.
Isn't that the point of RDF / Owl etc.?
RDF is an interoperability mechanism, it has nothing to do with the architecture you use internally for your database. You can have a PostgreSQL database and offer an endpoint for querying it via RDF.
In an era of LLMs, do you think RDFa still has a place?
RDF shouldn't be lumped in with SPARQL
What do you use RDF models for?
Not a single mention of RDF throughout. Am I missing something, or is this wheel reinvention?
Unpopular opinion, but I think RDF and shacl solves a lot of this!
