Hi all!
I think SADI is about due for a rejuvenation! :-)
Michel has offered to put it forward, via his affiliation at Stanford,
as a Member Submission to the W3C. I have started a GitHub project for
the specification document (originally authored by Ben Vandervalk for
our initial submission to the IETF):
https://github.com/wilkinsonlab/SADI-Specification
I am also making some changes to the definition of SADI - so far,
non-disruptively - but I welcome anyone who is interested in tweaking
the document to please join the project, or simply add an issue to the
Git. I know that Alexandre had some very good ideas a couple of years
ago, but I dropped the ball and never acted on them. Sorry! Please
re-raise them now!
You'll see from the document that I am trying to generalize SADI -
saying that it is a small set of design-patterns/behaviors that could be
applied to all sorts of tools and resources that need to interoperate
with Semantic Web data. With this view, SADI Semantic Web Services is
an example of a specification that implements the SADI design patterns.
(The motivation for this change was my experience playing with QMachine,
and wanting to create QMachine tools that "did SADI"... but these tools
aren't on the Web...)
Anyway, I will stop at this point, and welcome any interested SADIers to
have a look at/comment on the document.
Best wishes!
Mark
