Daniel Lewis has put together a nice
collection of Linked Data related posts
that illustrate the fundamentals of the
Linked Data Web and the vital role that
Virtuoso
plays as a deployment platform. Remember,
Virtuoso
was architected in 1998 (see
Virtuoso History) in anticipation of the
eventual
Internet,
Intranet, and
Extranet level requirements for a different
kind of Server. At the time of
Virtuoso's inception, many thought our desire
to build a multi-protocol, multi-model, and multi-purpose, virtual
and native
data server was sheer craziness, but we
pressed on (courtesy of our vision and technical capabilities).
Today, we have a very sophisticated
Universal Server Platform (in Open Source and
Commercial forms) that is naturally equipped to do the following
via very simple interfaces:
- Provide highly scalable RDFDataManagement via a Quad Store (DBpediais an example of a live
demonstration)
- Powerful WebDAV innovations that simplify read-write mode
interaction with Linked Data
