We need your feedback

Author: Anton Andreev

With the release of version 0.11.1 we now have a community channel.
This will be a great place for feedback from you - our users!

We are meditating whether we should put more effort in the following ideas:

1. Add support for more RDF stores
Probably next in the queue will be Talis platform and 5store. We will do that by using Rob Vesses's dotNetRDF lib. The thing is that after we started testing support for our first RDF database through dotNetRDF, I found a serious bug in the driver provided by this RDF store and used by dotNetRDF. So I believe that adding new RDF stores, that we can call "supported", won't be that easy.

2. Enhance addins support
You can now execute your own custom code on any SWC supported repository. You can even package a commercial addin. Next step could be to add hooks in the import/export operations, so that you be able to process every single triple before/after importing it (or exporting it).

3. Create a server application
SWC is a desktop tool. You can use SWC to load and test your database and once you are done you could close SWC and start an ordinary console application that exports your repository as a SPARQL endpoint. What do you think? Would you need this application? This application will be multi-threaded, written entirely in .NET and it won't use ASP.NET/IIS or a Java server container. Under Unix Mono's new generation GC will be important for this server application.

Stay tuned :)
