[Koha-devel] Sparql and koha opac (wikidata and bnf to try things)

[Claire Hernandez]

Hi,

I wanted to try and learn about semantic web and sparql. So I give it a 
try in a opac-detail view. This patch is just a poc and really not for 
production. I wanted to know if this type of work is relevant to you. I 
know in community previous work was done but maybe you can share where 
you are now with linked data ?

Just 2 words about the dev :
     * Simple syspref called "Explore", 3 possibilities: nothing, Bnf 
(national library in france) and Wikidata
     * Some datas are fetched, I suppose I have an ark in my biblio
     * I display "simple information", there is no complicated query
Possibles "next" :
   * Not one source (bnf or wikidata), but cross fetch between sources 
(ex: bnf + wikidata + europeana + geonames + whatever ;)
   * Having a "local triple store" or not doing real time to have 
information display quicker
   * More complicated queries to display timeline for date or exploring 
period, exploring "notable work" or "author collaborated with" etc.
The dev is probably not as clean as you wish, and I prefer to share 
something to talk about - even not perfect - than nothing. I plan to 
write a blog post about what I learn. Tell me if you are interested, it 
could encourage me to do it :p

Claire.
