Hi Roy,
we were aware of the possible conflict/confusion with the name; but
since the Linda model is quite old, not really spread nowadays and
completely far away of the Linked Data topic, personally I can't see a
really big issue here. But of course the Incubator PMC has a deeper
knowledge of such a kind of decisions and its implications, so we'll do
out best to address it during this discussion.
Anyway, we'd prefer to focus the discussion on the proposal itself.
After all, the name is something we can change. But the project is
something important to discuss.
BTW, regarding that, in other to provide some more background about the
proposal, I'd also like to point you the slides we presented one week
ago at ApacheCon Europe: http://slidesha.re/VUQ7ia
Thanks for all your feedback.
Best,

We generally don't use names that have been (and continue to be)
used extensively by other software projects.

Dear all,
we would like to propose a new project called Apache Linda as a
Linked Data Platform implementation to the incubator. Andy Seaborne
was so kind as to volunteer as a champion for the project. The
proposal is available at
http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/LindaProposal
The goal of Apache Linda is to provide an open implementation of a
Linked Data Platform that can be used, extended, and deployed easily
by organizations who want to publish Linked Data or build custom
applications on Linked Data. Linda will follow the core
recommendations of the W3C on RDF, SPARQL and Linked Data publishing,
particularly the emerging Linked Data Platform (LDP) recommendation.
It will also offer extensions for frequently needed additional
functionalities like Linked Data Querying, WebID, WebACL, Reasoning,
and Versioning. Linda aims to cover both, Linked Open Data, as well as
Enterprise Linked Data scenarios, providing facilities to deal with
different data sources and requirements (small data/big data, open
access/restricted access, etc).
We are looking forward to your feedback and suggestions on how to
improve the proposal and idea!
Sergio, Thomas, Jakob and Sebastian
