YARS2

I’ve been getting a few inquiries regarding YARS2, our federated RDF repository. It’s really cool to see interest from top-notch AI and scientific computing research institutes in the US and Germany, and from large companies in the pharmaceutical area.

Most of the people expect the system to be open source; currently YARS2 is closed source but we are rethinking that decision.

Although I consider YARS2 a stable product, and my main focus right now is to finish my Ph.D. thesis, we still incorporate optimisations into the YARS2 codebase, especially functionality required by the reasoning module and the faceted user interface.

    And you are blaming Microsoft that their stuff is not open source. Usually, if engineers are not good and afraid that their code is not really efficient, won’t publish their source code online which is a true shame.

    And you are asking people to open their data and you do not open your code yourself! It is evil!!
