On GData, SPARQL update, and RDF Diff/Sync http://dig.csail.mit.edu/breadcrumbs/node/131 Submitted by connolly on Tue, 2006-04-25 16:38. :: SPARQL | authorization | RDF | XML The Google Data APIs Protocol is pretty interesting. It seems to be based on the Atom publishing protocol, which is a pretty straightforward application of HTTP and XML, so that's a good thing. The query features seem to be less expressive than the SPARQL protocol, but GData has an update feature, while the SPARQL update issue is postponed. Updating at the triple level is tricky. I helped TimBL refine Delta: an ontology for the distribution of differences between RDF graphs a bit, and there's working code in cwm. But I haven't really managed to use it in practical settings. My PDA's calendar has an XMLRPC service where I can update a whole record at a time, just like GData. I assume caldav does likewise. The GData approach to concurrency looks quite reasonable. I haven't studied the authentication mechanism. I hope to get to that presently. tags: diff sync sparql calendar web+architecture -- Dan Connolly, W3C http://www.w3.org/People/Connolly/ D3C2 887B 0F92 6005 C541 0875 0F91 96DE 6E52 C29E
