Getting started with Turtle or Semantic Web?

CommanderZander@lemmy.world to Programming@programming.dev – 12 points –

I only recently learned about Turtle but it seems like a fun way to represent data. I'm curious to learn more & mess around with it or similar formats for representing the meaning of English text. Anyone have any suggestions for projects, libraries, etc to look into?

It plays a big role in https://solidproject.org.

That said, there is no way it is feasible to represent the meaning of arbitrary English text in Turtle (or any other RDF serialisation format). There's a reason the "Semantic Web" concept never really caught on.

I appreciate that, but I find it a satisfying challenge for approximate algorithms.

Well, check out Solid and let me know if you have questions, I have worked with it (and Turtle).
