[higgins-dev] The term "Higgins Global Graph"

The HGG term was designed to dovetail with TimBL’s thoughts on the giant global graph (GGG) here: http://dig.csail.mit.edu/breadcrumbs/node/215 and here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linked_Data  (LD)

 

The Higgins 1.1 global graph encompasses all of the nodes in Tim’s GGG and LD by embracing at least one of the two forms of Linked Data HTTP URIs. The HGG 1.1, however, can go much further because thanks to the HGG’s UDIs, XRDS, IdAS, and Context Providers its is possible to also encompass into one seamless HGG data from legacy data stores like LDAP directories, RDB data sources, etc. –and even access them using their NATIVE protocols (e.g. SQL, LDAP, etc.).

Also the Global Graph is not really a good name as its not really global

[higgins-dev] I've updated the HGG wiki and PPT





Jim,

The wiki pages rooted at [1] have now been updated per Higgins 1.1 in three ways. First, the sub-pages all have (or should have) a “Version” section at the top. Second I have eliminated the 1.0 concept of Entity and changed zillions of places where Node was to now read Entity. Finally, I’ve update a few of them per our decision to simply use Entities as complex values. I have also edited the PPT here [2] per the latest HGG 1.1 model.

I also renamed “Higgins Identifier” to “UDI” and expanded its coverage from HTTP URIs and XRIs to also include support for the semweb community’s “Linked Data” HTTP URIs. We haven’t yet implemented support for Linked Data URIs but I think that doing so would allow Higgins IdAS to be used as a gateway to at least some of the emerging Linked Data data sources. Parity will be contributing resources to implement this stuff. It will help the IdAS/Higgins cause WRT both the partially overlapping semweb and the dataportability crowds.
