Andy Seaborne commented on JENA-2297:
-------------------------------------
Turtle has comments.
The configuration file can be in any RDF syntax - including JSON-LD (which
technically is YAML). An {{@context}} would be nice to have _if_ someone wishes
to propose and contribute one.
There are some RDF-in-YAML systems so you can write in YAML and translate to
another RDF syntax. Try one of those.
There is a lot of RDF-based code behind configuration - 1000's of lines of code.
You can even have the server write configuration files for you so you are never
starting from scratch (see your stackoverflow answer.)
A YAML overlay that translated to RDF for interpretation would be practical and
it could be a subset of of the expressivity if someone wishes to make a
concrete proposal and contribute.
It will have to address the needs of Fuseki configuration - multiple
independent subsystems like jena-text, inference, data access control. They use
the ability of RDF to have data from different places without clashes.
YAML has its own peculiarities.

> Project: Apache Jena
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Fuseki
> Reporter: Wolfgang Fahl
> Priority: Minor
>
> As outlined in
> [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/63874908/fuseki-configuration] i never
> understood the turtle configuration files. RDF syntax is just to outwordly to
> beginners.
> I suggest to not go with ttl files as the only option for the configuration
> since these files are not self explaining. In YAML e.g. you can have proper
> comments. Converting the YAML Files to ttl for internal use is IMHO fine.
> It's just for better readability.
