Personally I've always seen Jena and Sesame as the real implementations.
They sure are two of the best and most popular triplestore arounds,
nevertheless an API should map the standards to Java, not concrete
implementations. That's what clerezza wants to do, and if that's your goal
we should join our forces.
Well, for me the main motivation behind this simple library is revise an
historical incompatibility issue in the Java world. In particular,
commons RDF aims to provide a type-safe, non-general API that covers RDF
1.1.
The simple implementation in-memory is something that has been
discussed, and we already have a prototype. So I see Clerezza providing
another implementation, just like Jena or Sesame will do, that would be
great indeed.
Please, take aside the blank nodes discussion for now. Such single
technical detail is something would be solved later, as soon as the scope
of the project becomes clearer. Giving such level of importance does not
allow you to see the forest for the trees.
I think it is the most important difference between the two proposed APIs.
Then it's a good point for further discussion, as many other aspects
will be.
I could say the same about neutrality... The current Commons RDF at GitHub
is the result of several discussions with the two major Java toolkits.
The API is the API in use in clerezza for >5 years, with some changes we
discussed at clerezza to accommodate the changes that came with RDF 1.1 and
with some renamings to make the names more intuitive.
Well, we cannot compare the usage of that API in comparison with Jena or
Sesame, we have to be honest about that. We designed the API based on
the experience and backgrounds from developers of both libraries (Andy
and Peter, I'm just a 'facilitator'), but I'm sure yours is valuable too.
Then, I have to ask, should I include you in the proposal?
Sure, add me to the list.
Nice to have you on board! Just added your name to the current draft at
Incubator's wiki: https://wiki.apache.org/incubator/CommonsRDF
