Re: SPARQL/SQL/D2R/dbview (un)scheduled topic chat 8 Jun minutes/record

Hi everybody,
 
I will report to sparql-dev about any RDFandSQL related activities here at ESWC.  If anybody from sparql-dev is at ESWC and is interested in a BOF meeting on RDFandSQL, just catch me before Tuesday.

Chimezie, if you need any support in implementing D2R in Python, let Richard or me know and we will support you where we can.

I think the discussion about browseable http URIs for database-backed resources and Tim's comment on tabulator is very important. Right now D2R server doesn't allow you to dereference dynamically created URI, but all the information that is needed to make URIs dereference-able is already in the mapping. So it should be possible to make URIs browseable by using a URI creation pattern like http://D2RserverURL/resource/classMapID/PrimaryKey. We will add this feature to next D2R server release and hack up a demo which shows how tabulator is used to browse a database. 

Cheers
 
Chris

  The scheduling problem looked really hard, and I saw timbl
  and a few others in #swig, so we just spontaneously convened
  and had a little IRC/phone meeting.
  Andy is nominated to coordinate next steps.
