Meeting 2015 11 20

Present: @bergos, @RubenVerborgh, @l00mi, [@nicola]

• sync / async
  • sync is on top of async?
  • streams could be good
  • schema: http://reactivex.io/intro.html
  • same interface for sync and async
    • .match(…) = stream
    • .match(…).toArray() = array
• what about graphs?
  • nquads = graphs , how they relate?
    • is a graph just a collection of quads with the same .graph property?
    • RDF-ext has graph interface (sync) and store interface (async)
    • better to be named store/collection/container interface?
• two interfaces
  • source
    • should be possible to inject factory object
  • sink
  • => any object can be one or both
• Interfaces (on different levels)
  • data interfaces and
    • triples (interface)
    • quads (interface)
    • IRIs (interface) [http://example.org/blub]
    • blank nodes (interface) [_:b1]
    • literals (interface) [Text]
    • variable (interface) [?a]
    • data factory (interface)
      • should allow cloning from plain objects (define required properties in the spec)
  • actor interfaces
  • not decided interfaces
    • prefix map
      • write triples with abbreviations
      • alternative: https://github.com/RubenVerborgh/N3.js/issues/56
  • getTerm?
    • https://github.com/uduvudu/uduvudu/blob/master/src/uduvudu.js#L324-L327
  • reference implementation
• Other
  • es6 optimized interface?
