Compliant to what? Has it been tested? Does it handle globbing? Does it handle websockets? Does it comply to the ACL spec? Does it support inboxes? Does it support Linked Data Notifications. Does it comply to the sections of the latest solid spec? What browser coverage does it have, what breaks?

What is it that we haven't done? > Any kind of serious testing. My original point. If solid apps work on virtuoso that's going to be a big win. Write a backend, write apps. Test on virtuoso, test on node solid server, test on gold. That is the test of compliance.

I will be working on my own back end "solid live" and the acid test for me will be whether solid apps can work with it. > -- > Regards, > > Kingsley Idehen > Founder & CEO > OpenLink Software (Home Page: http://www.openlinksw.com) > > Medium Blog: https://medium.com/@kidehen > Blogspot Blog: http://kidehen.blogspot.com > Twitter Profile: https://twitter.com/kidehen > Google+ Profile: https://plus.google.com/+KingsleyIdehen/about > LinkedIn Profile: http://www.linkedin.com/in/kidehen > Personal WebID: http://kingsley.idehen.net/dataspace/person/kidehen#this > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Business Of Linked Data (BOLD)" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to business-of-linked-data-bold+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. >
