Re: GraphQL-RDF implementation, schema generation and common ground

We at TopQuadrant do have a GraphQL mapping based on SHACL in production 
and it does seem to work well. At this stage, even if a group of other 
implementers would come up with a generalized/standardized approach, I 
don't think we would be able or willing to spend resources on changing 
our implementation as this would break all client code including 
enterprise customers. There would need to be some really significant 
benefits from such a change. Having said this, a standard could lead to 
3rd party implementations which we could then integrate as an additional 
service interface.

I guess I'll stay on the side lines for now as the problem is already 
solved for us, sorry.
