Thanks Leif! Perhaps you'd like to explain RDF now?...Elton Barkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16088251025729181601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623171812488525165.post-28864852043238724222012-06-09T11:20:45.335+01:002012-06-09T11:20:45.335+01:00Great summary of a great event :-) Only thing I...Great summary of a great event :-) Only thing I'd add is that if Pleiades goes down we're not necessarily screwed for several reasons:<br /><br />1. Because their data is open it would be possible to create a replacement service and because it's registered under stoa.org it could probably be run under the same domain name too so people wouldn't need to repoint their URIs.<br /><br />2. Even if we had to repoint URIs it would just be the domain rather than the slugs which is a relatively trivial operation<br /><br />3. Even if we couldn't do that, all the annotations would still merge together perfectly. The URIs acta as shared IDs even if they're not resolvable. The only thing we'd lose is the data from Pleaides which is why it doesn't make sense to centralize data there.<br /><br />The same goes for the Pelagios API - not only is it entirely replacable but we should assume that it _will_ be imitated and replaced and improved upon. This is what makes the system so decentralized which leads to both robustness and mutability (both good and bad).leifusshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06952570470805157338noreply@blogger.com
