Primary representative for Garlik. I am the Head of Architecture for Garlik Ltd[1] and our AC rep to the W3C. Garlik is a UK-based startup which provides services related to personal information. I served on the previous incarnation of the DAWG - initially representing University of Southampton[2], then Garlik. I've designed many RDF storage and query systems, ranging from small in-memory stores to to clustered stores designed to run over hundreds of machines. Garlik's services are built as applications running SPARQL queries over the SPARQL protocol to our internal RDF stores. We've tried to use standard SPARQL where possible, only using proprietary extensions to provide aggregate functions, select expressions and insert data where absolutely necessary. We would like to see the working group produce it's deliverables to schedule, focussing on features which are widely implemented, uncontroversial, and useful to the community of users. We feel that this work is long overdue, and will be of immediate use to us. Email is the best way to contact me, I generally use the nickname "SteveH" when on the W3C IRC server. - Steve [1] http://www.garlik.com/ [2] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rdf-dawg/2004AprJun/0094.html -- Steve Harris Garlik Limited 2 Sheen Road Richmond TW9 1AE T +44(0)20 8973 2465 F +44(0)20 8973 2301 www.garlik.com Registered in England and Wales 535 7233 VAT # 849 0517 11 Registered office: Thames House, Portsmouth Road, Esher, Surrey, KT10 9AD
