With a huge portions of the Internet & a huge number of devices relying on opensource software (Operating Systems, Web Servers, Mail Servers, Browsers) and even commercial closed source projects relying on many opensource software (libraries, source code management systems, build systems etc. with liberal licenses), no one can underestimate the importance of opensource software. However...

Installing & running orientdb on Ubuntu Server
I just downloaded and installed OrientDB version 1.0rc4 on my Ubuntu server. It is straight forward to get it up and running but with a few caveats for the Ubuntu user who wants to have Orientdb running at system startup. If you haven’t heard of OrientDB before, please checkout the orient-db website. And here are the first few mundane, no-brainers. Download OrientDB: You can go to...

Getting closer to nature...
Its not about green-living or protecting the environment (though it could be related). Its about scientific research learning from nature and finding solutions imitating it. Reflecting this are the two articles published recently, one about Self powered parts becoming electronic mainstay and another about Self assembling photovoltaic cells.

Inference
The basic idea of inference is that it is possible to know more about a set of data than what is explicitly expressed in the data.

OWL vs. OOP
complexmissions: In object-oriented programming, a class is like a blueprint or template for the creation (instantiation) of objects; an object is an instance of a class. OWL classes are interpreted as sets that contain individuals, with no notion of instantiation.

Continuation Sandwich
I’ve often come across the word ‘Continuations’ in the programming language discussions but I never made up my mind to investigate what it means. Interestingly while reading up a bit about Ruby I hopped to this delicious description of ‘First-class continuations”: “Say you’re in the kitchen in front of the refrigerator, thinking about a sandwich. You take...

Can we do REST without HTTP? →
I am wondering if we can do REST without HTTP!! I was just thinking about plug-ins for an application that we are developing. Very desirably: anybody should be able to write a plug-in and in any language they choose to write. Thinking about the second point what came to my mind effortlessly was REST but, following that is this question: Can we do REST without HTTP? It would be great if my...

(via:jamieforrest) One of the more difficult tasks in software design is striking a balance between creating a general solution and a more specific one. Should we build something that can handle all sorts of hypothetical future requirements or one that solves a specific problem, but may not work for anything else down the road? Should we take longer and spend more up front but reap dividends down...

RDF & Multiple inheritance
How does multiple inheritance work in the RDF Schema Language? Just apply the rule twice. If A is subClassOf B and A is also subClassOf C, then any individual x that is a member of A will also be a member of B and of C. -Morgan Kaufmann (Semantic Web for the Working Ontologist)

The word 'Resource'
An excerpt from Morgan Kaufmann’s book ‘Semantic Web for the Working Ontologist’: In the Semantic Web we refer to the things in the world as resources; a resource can be anything that someone might want to talk about. Shakespeare, Stratford, “the value of X,” and “all the cows in Texas” are all examples of things someone might talk about and that can be resources in the Semantic...
