need a name…
Jun 24th, 2005 by Phil Dawes
Work on the re-focused universal-structured-data-aggregator-thingy is coming along. Have written some importers to get non-tagtriple data in - e.g. an RDF/XML importer, a vanilla XML importer (which uses some heuristics to guess the stmts - can import e.g. rss2.0) and a partly-finished CSV importer (which should make DB imports easy over the web).
The problem is I’m stuck thinking of a name for this aggregator product.
The things I want to convey (or at least hint at):
- It’s an aggregator
- It’s for structured data (regardless of format)
- The tool is imprecise. Quick, cheap and a bit dirty.
(chuck your data in it, integrate it, browse, query, pull it out again)
- It can hold a lot of data - it scales. (Empty a few databases into it)
Ideas:
FatBoy, DataBucket, DataMixer, Blender
Ideally need a cool word for structured data. Information. Knowledge. Crufty-knowledge.
FactBucket
Am pretty low on ideas - can anybody help?
