Roadmap for RDF in Navigator
Guha
Robert Churchill
John Giannandrea
RDF is a middleware or bridge technology. As with all such
technologies, there are two areas of improvement.
- More/better backend data sources.
- More/better ways of accessing the data.
More/better Backend
Here are some backend data sources that would be good to have.
- A z39.50 parser. This is the stuff that most libraries in the world use.
- MARC parser. Those of you who know what it is know how widely it is used.
- Finish the ldap data source.
- Appletalk, NFS, Novell and Microsoft networks.
- Netscape Cache.
- your idea goes here...
More/better Frontend
- Java (already done, but not in the public source)
- Javascript (we are working on this)
- Improvements to Aurora
- New and alternative graph viewers
- your idea goes here...
