Interoperability with Portable Linked Profiles

[almereyda]

@acorbi and @elf-pavlik are currently working on Portable Linked Profiles. This work resembles very much the approach you are taking here, yet focuses on other aspects of presentation.

To start the discussion:

• How can both profile servers be linked to each other?
• How can the work on both schemas inform each other?
• Are any other applications known that might be possible candidates for entering a federation?

Thanks in advance.

For now I recommend checking out https://github.com/hackers4peace/plp-docs till we setup a proper page for project. Similar projects give some clue but http://dir.w3.org/directory/pages/about.docbook?view may give the best impression of a direction we take

Another experimental approach possibly involving LDP by @mozboz and @jaensen is worth mentionning, too.

And I'm wondering which way to go here, as there will always be diverse schema as seen here in the /doc folder and the W3C link above plus the other ones mentionned.

Note to self: If we go for LDP or LDF/Hydra APIs, we solved the riddle of syntactic interoperability, but semantic interoperability requires the use of same vocabularies. How are the LOD and LOV clouds trying to solve that problem? Another Meta-Metadata language describing schema transformations?

@almereyda see http://schema.rdfs.org/mappings.html sadly it goes beyond basic Linked Data and into more sophisticated Semantic Web stack http://www.slideshare.net/Dataversity/2014-ldp-webinar-20140806/6 - in practice many clients can't do such complex reasoning http://www.slideshare.net/EUCLIDproject/querying-linked-data/53

i wonder if Content Negotiation could also handle getting data expressed with preferred vocab http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content_negotiation
