These are some of our active research projects. Not all are directly related to the operation of the Talis Platform, but they are all motivated by our desire to encourage deployment of the Semantic Web.

RDF/JSON

JSON (the serialisation of data in javascript object notation) is an increasingly popular data format, largely because it is easy to parse (or, in the case of javascript, simply evaluate) into a data structure of the consumer's programming language of choice. This research project set out to devise a way of serialising an RDF graph as a JSON document.

The resulting RDF JSON Specification was based on a long period of brainstorming that involved surveying and critiquing many existing proposals.
