Hi All,
In light of recent developments, I am playing catch up and
restructuring our SW dev environment and workflows ( we started with
jess, jena, sesame, etc. Long ride since ).
There are two elements here regarding Virtuoso:
* Dev/Staging/Prod generic purpose machines on the cloud with
appropriate workflows ( almost done, will use AMIs )
* Local developer dev env / Individual sandbox ( to test high
throughput/unstable scripts against local data, for example )
For the latter point, I would love to hear your suggestions ( OpenLink
and ecosystem ):
1. What is the simplest VOS distribution that can be used for personal
Developer machines?
( w/o the virtual database engine, I know that's another story )
* Macs, Windows and Linux.
[Hugh] Linux , Mac, Windows would be the order of preference, as
Linux is the easiest to build on as ever, followed by Mac which is "a
unix" in disguise although a bit tricker due to universal binary
requirements, and windows is the hardest to build on, although not
impossible with all the tools in place, but we provide a VOS windows
zip file containing prebuilt binaries for each release. Would you be
seeking to install VOS on each personal machine or would their be a
local central server that would be used. Also do you already have the
hardware and OS'es in place or is this still to be decided ?
* I want this to be drop dead easy so I can setup VOS instance on
everyone's machine and have them running SPARQL via hosted PHP, etc in
seconds.
[Hugh] This is possible once you have your binaries built and a
working installation, as you can then us a single command to start
the server on any similar machine.
2. What datasets would you preload?
** I imagine you have different sets for different purposes... I need
to execute, at least:
*** SPARQL-BI to feed visual analytics ( think charts )
*** Complex SPARQL queries for browsing ( think longwell/facets +
tabulator/nav ), with aggregates
** Therefore, data must be rich in cardinality, multidimensional and
user-understandable ( products, people, places, etc ).
** It would be great to use "standard" sets whenever possible so
results could have some meaning across company borders
** I am talking normal machines here ( think your notebook ).
[Hugh] I am not really sure what you mean here as you would typically
start with an empty database, thus no datasets would be created,
although I do think same basic Virtuoso RDF data does get created.
All the SPARQL variants (SPARQL, SPARUL, SPASQL, SPARQL-BI) would be
available by default. Are their any specific datasets you would want
to be preloaded ?
Best Regards

OpenLink Software
I don't really know this ecosystem well enough yet, but I do know/hope
that you will soon be overloaded with new developers so I will try to
create self contained questions that can be later used as reference.
Thanks,
A
