|
Solution Deployment Model |
Centralized |
Centralized with sprinklings of Federation |
Federated with function specific Centralization (e.g. Lookup
hubs like LOD Cloud or DBpedia) |
Data Model Orientation |
Logical (Tree based DOM) |
Logical (Tree based XML) |
Conceptual (Graph based RDF) |
User Interface Issues |
Dynamically generated static interfaces |
Dyanically generated interafaces with semi-dynamic interfaces
(courtesy of XSLT or XQuery/XPath) |
Dynamic Interfaces (pre- and post-generation) courtesy of
self-describing nature of RDF |
Data Querying |
Full Text Search |
Full Text Search |
Full Text Search + Structured Graph Pattern Query Language
(SPARQL) |
What Each Delivers |
Democratized Publishing |
Democratized Journalism & Commentary (Citizen Journalists
& Commentators) |
Democratized Analysis (Citizen Data Analysts) |
Star Wars Edition Analogy
|
Star Wars (original fight for decentralization via
rebellion) |
Empire Strikes Back (centralization and data silos make
comeback) |
Return of the JEDI (FORCE emerges and facilitates
decentralization from "Identity" all the way to "Open Data Access"
and "Negotiable Descriptive Data Representation") |
Naturally, I am not expecting everyone to agree with me. I am simply making my contribution to
what will remain facinating discourse for a long time to come
:-)
