Try out Nanodash, implementing the Semantic Web vision with nanopublications

Hi all,

We'd like to tell you about an ecosystem that we have set up (stable, 
but still early stage), based on nanopublications. It implements the 
Semantic Web vision, with decentralization, openness, global scope, and 
fully based on RDF/SPARQL/etc., but also with reliable publishing, 
querying, provenance, content-based identifiers, digital signatures, and 
AI agents as first-class citizens.

This nanopublication ecosystem can be used for any kind of open data 
that can be expressed in RDF. For example for personal profiles, such as 
my own: 
https://nanodash.knowledgepixels.com/user?id=https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1267-0234

We are in the process of writing this all up, but you can already try it 
out with our Nanodash client, following these simple steps:

1. Go to https://nanodash.knowledgepixels.com and login with ORCID (top 
right)

2. Publish your intro nanopublication as instructed on your profile 
details page, so your name and signature key are known to the 
nanopublication world

3. Visit an existing profile and choose "add to my own profile" in the 
dropdown menu for a view you'd like on yours too

4. Depending on the view you have added, you can use the "add..." button 
to add entries. (AI agent support to import existing stuff is upcoming.)

Or check out this animated GIF showing these steps:

Importantly, Nanodash doesn't store any data; it gets it all from the 
decentralized network, and Nanodash is itself decentralized and 
available as several instances! You can see an overview of the current 
network here: https://monitor.knowledgepixels.com/

We hope you find this interesting, and would love to hear your feedback.

Best regards,
Tobias
