The same process is being done here: https://github.com/solid/node-solid-server/blob/master/lib/ldp.js#L112
And here is the "GET" https://github.com/solid/node-solid-server/blob/master/lib/ldp-container.js#L27
If the module is being used server side, the requests will be routed directly to the fs-store, rather than doing a remote get request
So yes, you're right, it can do hundreds of GET requests, but is only doing those requests for the resources that matched that were requested by the user, and it will only be hundreds if there were hundreds of matching files.
after quite some time of non-tech distractions, i was refreshing what i know of solid... i figured out some of my difficulties. i don't clearly understand the relation of URIs in the "knowledge graph" rdf space, the separation in turtle files in the solid "filesystem", and HTTP "transport" URLs. i have read the docs several times, and i still don't have it clear. i was trying to read the fetcher sourcecode, but i figured i can also try to ask here =)
I think the best way to think about is to think about nodes in a graph, each node being a turtle resource, each node can reference other nodes by way of a URI, you as a user, or client, interact with nodes, and click through to other nodes using hyperlinks, if you fetch all of these nodes by following all the hyperlinks, you get a graph
@biappi ^
@biappi Yes. The data web of RDF is like the hypertext web of HTML, except nodes are conceptual things insread of parts of a document, and links have well defined semantics. They both use the ‘#’. In both cases the use of a URI
a#b is an invitation to load document a and find out about what it shoses to say about a#b. The document tries to have useful data about a#b and related things those interested in a#b would also be interested in.
The Fetcher fetches each document into the Store. Its a quad store, so it keeps track of which document each (s,p,o) triple came from by in fact storing (s,p,o,document). The store acts as a local cache of part of the data web. So once it has loaded a few documents, then you can query and navigate the RDF graph locally in memory.
You update the data web using UpdateManager.update() which sends a patch to the server, and makes sure the local Store is kept in sync. The UpdateManager can also subscribe to any changes in a document made by others and let each client app do live updates.
Hey everyone, the Toronto event is set for next Monday, May 13th, at 6pm in the evening. Our meetup group is full but there’s still space. Please RSVP at https://www.llbrandlab.com/events/solid-toronto-meetup
@fabiancook @timbl thanks! you gave me the key piece of understanding i was missing. i didn't consider the concept of "document" as being part of the "rdf data web"... i was confused because, ignoring documents, i thought all turtle files could be about about every resource, and of course now i have more understanding of the fourth element of the rdf triples =)
i love that "i am an idiot" feeling when the right piece of knowledge fits the slot and everything makes more sense =)
Hey, just got off call with John and Kelly from @RubenVerborgh connecting us over the POD sync/replication (across different POD providers) and POD encryption (so POD providers can't read data), I have things ready to do this now just need to spearhead it in with somebody who can get me acquainted with codebase nuances... who is interested in SOLID sync & encryption!?
What do you think about caching private data in the localStorage? The way I understand localStorage, it shares it's data with all apps from which have the same domain. This would mean, that if the user has installed two different apps on his pod (or uses them from some kind of appstore), they could access the data from each other regardless of their unique access constraints. Furthermore, they could use the login credentials stored by solid-auth-client even if they weren't given any permission
I've read here, that "Two actors in the Web platform that share an origin are assumed to trust each other and to have the same authority", but I don't really think this applies for solid as giving unique permission control per app is (imo) a key feature of it. That they share the same host doesn't mean that they even know of each other if we think of storing apps on the own pod or using some kind of app store
... that we should host each app on its own (sub) domain. So hosting all the apps I use on my pod is a bad idea then...?
Hi Thomas, you can see the past Solid Events on Germany on https://github.com/solid/information/blob/master/solid-events.md where there is also the link to the organisers
Solid New York organised by Brian Cort is tomorrow! https://www.meetup.com/NextWeb-NYC/
That design is forced on us by the browser Same Origin Policy
@Mitzi-Laszlo @RubenVerborgh Is there more context to https://github.com/solid/information/pull/116/files#diff-e3711c4fe4b7ab04e3bc3ad73b11a8abR10 ? Is the intention to gather more "blog" applications or is there an undisclosed criteria for an application that's not built yet?
Bonus point: demonstrate consuming of data created by another application :)
Better yet, support overpayments and.change the available solutions for those who do some sort of.work online, then use transactional incomes to ensure no one needs to sell personal data whatsoever... Billions of people, trillions of things, shouldn't take much to get an hourly wage for good work... other than the investment required to make the technology needed for said new forms of taxable revenue option. Obviously, the issues people had since exodus in trying to get paid for old types of work, like that of a stonemason, are now fairly well resolved. Perhaps the problem is that we need to bring about a global web strike!
@tjhorton I would suggest searching https://forum.solidproject.org/ for existing threads, or create a new thread if noone fits your interest ^_^
gitter is a bit difficult to follow when discussions get lengthy
Floor price for a micropayment should be as low as possible, incorporating the cost of the energy consumed to support it.
https://digiconomist.net/bitcoin-energy-consumption won't work. I've been working to figure how how to share the revenue sourced from say, a 2c app, across hundreds of contributors providing thousands of hours work, to.make it happen, who say, want to get paid $50 per hour (only), for having done the work (a very basic example), then the app might be made free, via an approach I called last year, software as a utility...
Noting, many models can be defined using rdf / semweb goodness...
My question posted to: https://forum.solidproject.org/t/why-solid-are-there-simpler-alternatives/1793
@tjhorton here's a talk on why you should control your data https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eiFBljkGWAc&t=42s personal data control is both a legal and technical so one does not exclude the other, they complement and strengthen each other
just wondering anyone working on solid apps locates in Toronto want to be Toronto meetup speaker
