Semantic Sling Part II - Turtle Soup

July 2, 2012 12:14 AM

In the first post of the series I have since affectionately titled "Semantic Sling," I took a rather hypothetical look at serving Linked-Data out of the Sling server and whether Sling and JCR exposed any functionality which facilitated such service. This analysis took the form of a mapping between the tenets of Linked-Data and the capabilities inherent to Sling and JCR. Of all the tenets, number three was underserved by both directly, though I did indicate that functionality present in both could be built upon.

Realization of this happy accident gave rise to the question of the ease with which Linked Data can be housed and served using Sling and JCR and the faculties built into each.
