Its query service uses RDFQL, a simple, SQL-style language with inference extensions, to perform complex deductive queries. Queries can be executed over a wide range of dynamic data by connecting to one or more Data Services. Data Services expose structured data as a collection of RDF statements. This release currently contains Data Services for File Systems, Mem
AaronSw: Their RDFQL query language is used in a calendar demo
libby: I think the idea is that the database is intelligent but you can ask it simple questions
libby: the calendar demo is pretty cool (and fast)
libby: the query language is somewhat squish-like (because we both based it on Guha's RDFdb QL, I think)
AaronSw: What seems especially interesting is that you can load rules into the db itself
 
DanC_lap: by Libby
libby: days 2 and 3 to follow
 
dajobe: from the DAML+OIL Joint Committee
dajobe: changes include [[subclass- and subproperty-hierarchy should be allowed to contain cycles,]]
