Research Engine Update #11

Wow, today was one hell of a day if i should say. Early in the day, I was breaking my head with many concepts, technologies, etc. that I was actually running mad. But, now at the end its slightly better.

Let me brief you what I did today.

  1. Installed DB2, duh.. I never wanted to do this.
  2. Created a SPARQL endpoint for knowledge engine. No more dependence on internet.
  3. Updating (its on the way) my database with all my 28+ GB, of linked data.
I'm so damn tired to type, I'll brief the rest tomorrow.

UPDATE: After 12 hours 40 minutes, 218.8 MB of data has been successfully uploaded to DB2, at this rate..?!@# OMG! When will my 28GB get uploaded?!

If you had read my SRS, Knowledge Engine uses a tool called wikixtractor. Its my project for extracting various contents of Wikipedia into RDF (N-Triples) format.

Atlast I committed the latest version in to the repo. Its a fork project of DBpedia Extractor.

Research Engine #8

Well, the update is pretty much late and simple. I've deployed Cassandra in our cluster. With a simple tweaking the config file, it was a breeze to set it up. The requirements are simple (Java 1.6, thats it) and easy.

Next on the update for tomorrow is using a JPA compatible library for Cassandra. A beautiful project that helps you get your job done, so quickly and easily.
