Role: Alternate Representative for Garlik Ltd I am a software developer at Garlik Ltd[1]. At Garlik, I have worked almost exclusively on developing applications which use SPARQL to query RDF stores of various sizes, ranging from large clustered ones to smaller in-memory stores. Applications I have worked on include: * DataPatrol[2] A commercial personal identity protection product, sold through partners in the financial industry which uses semantic technology to search users' data across an array of data sources, including the web. * foaf.qdos.com[3]: An index of 10 million FOAF files, built on top of a large RDF store and searchable by IFP. This project presented serious performance challenges, particularly with regards to triangulating FOAF:persons. * FoafBuilder[4]: An application which allows users to build and host their own FOAF file, built using an in-memory RDF store and leveraging features from the foaf.qdos.com index. * qdos[5]: An application which measures the digital status of tens of thousands of users, built on top of a large RDF store. We are keen for the working group to specify practical and intuitive features which are based on real use cases as much as possible. I am best contacted via email.
