Greetings N3 Community! Upon reading Doerthe's dissertation a few months back, I immediately joined the group, read everything I could find on the topic and have since become an N3 evangelist!! As a member of the target demographic for N3, I can self-manage the first three motivators (4:45) from Steven Kotler's <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znwUCNrjpD4&t=301s> book: Art of the Impossible: - *Curiosity - got it!* - *Passion - in spades!* - *Purpose - determined!* I am left with the last two: - *Autonomy - sort of...* - *Mastery - help?* This is where I am a little stuck...ish. I am part of (and providing thought leadership to) a team designing/developing a 'DevOps' Semantic Web Stack for the Electric Utility/MBSE space: a cloud-based/neutral tool to: - Curate/extend a core ontology - Manage ontology representations of enterprise and partner data catalogs - Align (map) them contextually using Profiles and Notation 3 (N3) Rules - Annotate anything with anything and, - Git, govern and capture provenance of all by treating models as code. We are currently using Python's RDFLib with SQLAlchemy (Postgres) which allows us to parse, manage and store N3 rules, but I anticipate we will quickly outgrow it. Which leaves me *curious, passionate and with purpose* to satisfy the (enthusiastic!) management team's hunger for...*."more please!!! Bigger! Faster!! Quickly!!"* All the material available for/about N3 Logic is fantastic! and the promise/potential (e.g., Eye Reasoner, RestDesc)...amazing! But where do we go from here? Maybe I am not looking in the right places? I cannot seem to locate any updated information on what technologies/stores support N3 (context and formula-aware) for industrial use?? ...besides Virtuoso? I'm a new Prolog nerd...so I find ClioPatria and Pengines interesting, albeit a little dated. Sadly, no N3 support...that I am aware of?? Even though Eye is written in it? Here is a survey of rdf stores that goes into EXHAUSTIVE detail <https://arxiv.org/pdf/2102.13027.pdf> and there is only ONE mention of N3 in it (YARS). There do seem to be a lot of dated technologies in this space, which are a hard sell to management if they are not in active development/support. I thought I would reach out to this community for help on this as I saw the recently published Notation 3 Draft Community Report <https://w3c.github.io/N3/spec/>, and believe this topic (accompanying the draft specification) likely is in the community interest as well. Any and all help is greatly appreciated! Thanks! Tim Duval https://www.linkedin.com/in/tim-duval11/ MartyStache on GitHub
