Not sure if the Joseki stuff has been circulated here. It is a Java-based service built on Jena, and offers a Web data interface to RDF stores. I was wondering how it compares to the annotation-centric Annotea protocol, at least w.r.t. lookups (ie. ignoring updates / PUT aspects), but haven't yet found time to do a detailed comparison. See http://www.joseki.org/protocol.html for details. compare: http://www.w3.org/2001/Annotea/User/Protocol.html for Annotea protocol. thought experiment: could we have all the read-only functionality of Annotea from Joseki, ie. is there anything peculiar to Annotations that means we need a separate protocol for asking a service about annotations, vs. just using generic RDF query/lookup interfaces? One way of testing this would be to try to implement an Annotea server which was built by encapsulating a Joseki server... Thinking out loud, Dan
