Notes
How should we spend our time?
- Demos, mostly
- Shaun interested in understanding applications & data models better, but open to learning through demos
- Data ops
- Versioning has lots of potential
Enno experimented with uploading & connecting linked data to Mediachain stack. Disappointed with capabilities; it basically puts a wrapper around it.
IIIF demo by Ed Silverton
- Question: able to get the URL for the Google Doc Ed started with?
- universalviewer.io, https://mastodon.social
- Showed a 3D model of vertebrae, both data and viewer on from IPFS. 3D files are huge, lots of potential efficiencies
- Would like to experiment with js-ipfs
- How the decentralized tiles got generated: https://gist.github.com/edsilv/97759a93cb7c5f0fedb8178fee5e1dd3
- “ipfs acts like a giant cache”
Annotation workflow
- Paper on LOD and IPFS: “Sharing Linked Open Data over Peer-to-Peer Distributed File Systems: The Case of IPFS” - Miguel-Ángel Sicilia, Salvador Sánchez- Alonso, Elena García Barriocanal - MTSR2016
Action Items
Schedule next call for Enno to walk through his experiences with Mediachain (need to move the date to fit with his calendar/upcoming vacation) Future topics: Other protocols IPLD / Linked Data IPFS cluster (maybe) js-IPFS
