Work on the re-focused universal-structured-data-aggregator-thingy is coming along. Have written some importers to get non-tagtriple data in - e.g. an RDF/XML importer, a vanilla XML importer (which uses some heuristics to guess the stmts - can import e.g. rss2.0) and a partly-finished CSV i ...

    I am working on perl/java project to be hosted on a domain name having some take on "dat", and so I reserved "tagdat.com". This naming convention is part of an idea I had of making data munging more appealing to wider web audiences.

    Putting "dat" at the end of a verb adds a bit of MTV / hip-hop culture to the semantic web. So "dat" just might be the next "tag" :)

    I can transfer "tagdat.com" to you if you want it. Also, you might consider these other "dats" for what you're working on:

    aggdat
    knowdat
    brewdat
    blendat
    feedat
    savedat

    Omnivat … OneUniverse … FatFusion

    Hmm... I like the word 'vat' - conjures up an image of fermenting gloopy stuff.
    DataVat sounds a bit tripe tho. I really need a better word for 'data'. (Not sure there is one)

    (Thanks for all the suggestions btw!)

    "Stew" or "Casserole" are also gloopy but maybe less tripe? eg DataStew.

    I've given up trying to find a cool word for data.
    Am thinking I'll go with 'jamvat' - at least until somebody comes up with something I like better.

    Expect a jamvat release and demo soon!
