Re: Stardog 1.2—Clark & Parsia: Thinking Clearly

Hadn't looked at it till this AM.

We're solving a different problem, but thanks for pointing it out.

Good piece; but the moon bats theological antipathy isn't to higher taxes only: it's really to what the rest of us think of as civilization per se, which of course taxes pay for.

Will be happy to do that. We haven't yet decided how to release a pre-1.0 GeoSPARQL implementation in Stardog, but we'll figure something out and announce it here (and on Twitter: @stardog_db).

Because believing that (absurd thing) allows him to do two things: (1) to maintain the politically correct (for him) view (capital punishment is fine & dandy); and (2) to base that politically-motivated view on a "tough" and "unconvention" reading of "the law" such that his ego and standing are also heightened amongst his base of political support.

Obvs. :>

First job listing I've seen that mentions experience with Stardog as a preference. Sweet!

Re: Stardog—Stardog: Documentation: Terminology

Kendall — Fri, 22 Jun 2012 12:45:57 -0000

See http://stardog.com/docs/net... which includes a section on SNARL.

It's the native Stardog data access & control protocol, based on Google Protocol Buffers.

For quick start and testing? No.

For a more thorough discussion of security issues, see http://stardog.com/docs/sec... which goes into a lot of detail about secured deployments.

Re: Stardog: Documentation: OWL 2 Reasoning

Kendall — Thu, 26 Apr 2012 15:09:27 -0000

Reasoning is enabled *per query* and is off by default. You enable it by passing reasoning=$reasoning_level. See http://stardog.com/docs/admin/ for details about how to do that.

Re: http://weblog.clarkparsia.com/2011/09/19/semantic-versioning-and-owl-ontologies/

Kendall — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 09:16:35 -0000

I didn't say anything about any other ontologies that get imported by the one that's being versioned. I didn't for two reasons: first, after import closure is taken, imports aren't really visibile any more, so in some sense they don't really matter as imports. But, second, I was trying to keep things a bit simpler since the piece was already too long. :>

The subtle difference you point out, though, is that versioning an ontology is one thing; versioning a data access service that's described by an ontology is something else. What differences in versioning should be applied? I don't know, but you've highlighted some important issues to think about.

Re: Linked Data Influencer Under Indictment For Data Theft - semanticweb.com

Kendall — Thu, 21 Jul 2011 11:05:18 -0000

Sorry, but there's no reason to believe that anything Aaron did (or didn't do) jeopardizes *anything*, much less something as nebulous as "the reputation of the open access movement at large", which is driven by the inevitability of technological and economic upheaval, not individual actions.

For a competing, and vastly more coherent view, see http://thinkprogress.org/yg... -- which points out, rightly, that the Forbes piece is a clever bit of concern trolling and should be ignored.

Do you mean have HTTP server use connection pools internally?

"easier criminal access to firearms"... FTFY: "legal citizen access to firearms".

Re: http://weblog.clarkparsia.com/2011/05/04/how-to-create-business-value-with-semantic-tech/

Kendall — Wed, 04 May 2011 14:21:51 -0000

As you know, Semweb encompasses HTTP, REST, and to a growing extent, JSON. So let's say you can get *most* of the CsansC benefits of Web 2.0 in Semweb development. Okay, now, does Semweb add anything else that's unique to it? For example, does the schema flexibility along a huge spectrum also enable CsansC? I think it does, clearly. Does "richer" (in whatever sense) data formats like RDF and OWL ever enable extra benefits? I think being able to push some kinds of business logic into the data, thereby making data instead of code or an API, the unit of exchange has clear benefits.

YMMV, of course, but the overriding point is that Semweb and Web 2.0 are perfectly useful together, so the either/or question isn't something that anyone has to decide on, IMO.

Of course, there are a lot *more* Web 2.0 APIs around, but that doesn't mean it's a better approach. It does mean it's a more popular one, but that can be for all sorts of good and bad reasons.

Yes, it is preferable. Those people (actors and musicians) may well contribute something valuable to the culture.

People can pursue whatever frivolous distractions they prefer; we live in *hard* times. But for Americans, in particular, to fawn all over hereditary monarchy is especially disgusting.

Re: Barack Obama’s Deficit Plan

Kendall — Wed, 13 Apr 2011 14:40:52 -0000

$800B out of non-discretionary is going to hurt: will be hard to do that w/out slashing science, R&D, and all the other civilization building things that actually, you know, help people, create jobs, etc.

Chances that Obama or the Dems will do any of this reasonable strategy? Very, very small, alas.

We'll be trying to give a talk at SemTech 2011 in June in SanFran about Spanner with our first Spanner reference customer, NASA. Should be fun; if, that is, we're accepted. :>

This is an early version of the Stardog mascot, which will refined a bit further before we launch. If you haven't heard about Stardog yet, it's our forthcoming RDF database that's pure Java and insanely fast. If you're interested in the private beta, leave me a comment in this thread and I'll add you to the list.
