  • This demonstration shows how Microsoft Pivot (an E-A-V Model Linked Data Browser) acts as a client to a Virtuoso RDF Quad Store Instance. The Client and the Server are E-A-V model based, but instead of serving up N3, Turtle, RDF/XML or any other RDF-Graph model data representation, it delivers CXML (a Microsoft devised XML representation for EAV based Linked Data graphs).

    So Google and Microsoft are moving to 'faceted search' and fast! Really powerful and compelling!

    Right. Freebase also announced something similar to Pivot yesterday (David Huynh, http://blog.freebase.com/2010/03/26/preview-freebase-gridworks/) and Kingsley Idehen mentioned that he is doing interesting things with Pivot. I think this is why T2 failed: too much competition both from the core linked data community and from the big guys, not much originality. I found the Pivot and Gridworks demos much more impressive than the T2 demos. Nova's excitement about faceted browsing was probably right, but he didn't play the role of the "visionary that sees farther than everyone else" as well as he should have. I still don't understand why he didn't exploit the social bookmarking advantage he had over Google, Microsoft, Freebase and Openlink.
