RE: javascript implementation update

Hi Jeni,



I haven’t been able to carve out any time to work on this lately. I had made some good progress [1] but unfortunately, I haven’t touched it since February. At one time it was passing most of Gregg’s tests, but  I’m afraid it has been so long that the spec has changed significantly. But I haven’t given up!



Keep in mind, this is my first JS project (most of my programming experience is in Java and Ruby), so there are probably better/more elegant ways to do what I’m trying to do. But If anyone wants to team up on this, I would certainly welcome the help and collaboration! Otherwise, I’ll do what I can on my own, but probably not until late June/early July.



Thanks,

Bill

Hi Bill,



You'll have seen my plea for implementation updates just now [1]. How is your implementation going? Is there anything that we can do to help?



Thanks,



Jeni

   Jeni and Dan, etc,

   I've been off the radar, so to speak, for a few weeks due to some ongoing
   health issues. I will miss tomorrow's call too.

   I have continued to work on my js implementation, which I still fully
   intend to give to the group as a project deliverable. It works now for
   simple csv-to-json transformations, but doesn't make turtle (yet). My
   implementation is a stream transformation, so it is pretty fast and can
   theoretically handle input streams of any size.

   I'm a bit unclear on how simple "simple" needs to be. Does "simple" mean
   no metadata at all? Or is there a "simple" metadata transformation I need
   to implement?

   I have experimented with taking metadata from the link headers, etc;
   that's all pretty straight-forward. But merging multiple sources of
   metadata is, of course, not straight-forward, and obviously not simple.
   For now, my main concern is that my code fulfills the requirements of a
   simple implementation.

   I still need to document the project and clean up some rough bits. Then I
   can register as an official testing endpoint for Gregg's CSVW Test
   Harness. What's the deadline?

   That's all for now.

   Thanks,
   Bill
