Atomic Data: a modular specification for making the semantic web more practical
The vision for a semantic web is over 20 years old, yet so little of our internet is currently using linked data. Where did it go wrong, and what can we do to revive this dream? Atomic Data is a modular specification that aims to make the semantic web achievable again through a developer-friendly ecosystem of tools that enable high data interoperability and return ownership back to the user.
Joep Meindertsma is an entrepreneur and software developer who has worked on the e-democracy tool Argu in the past years. During the development of this software, he got interested in the semantic web and linked data, which eventually led him to work on various RDF-related projects. Currently, he's working on the Atomic Data ecosystem.
