What is the VIVO position on named graphs? #102

Closed mconlon17 closed 10 years ago

mconlon17 commented 11 years ago

Named graphs are a W3C standard for assigning a URI to a collection of RDF statements (thus avoiding reification). Does VIVO support named graphs? Millions of named graphs (as in provenance graphs for other VIVO statements). Will it? When?

nrejac commented 11 years ago

Not sure I understand the question- we've had named graphs since the very beginning.

mconlon17 commented 11 years ago

Hard to imaging closing if we don't understand the question. :-)

Can we create an unlimited number of named graphs from interface and ingest and use them to create nano publications in VIVO. A nano publication consists of three assertions:

np hasAssertions G1 np hasPublicationInfo G2 np hasProvenanceInfo G3

So for every nano publication np, we would have three named graphs -- G1, G2, G3. Named graphs need to be first class objects in VIVO -- searchable, indexable, manageable. The nano publications would need to meet the 5 star linked data standard.

Again the ability to do this has been there since the beginning, however graphs are not first class objects- they are a descriptor about the triple, not triples themselves.

Will need extended conversation.
