Toch bizar hoe na al die jaren er amper innovatie is geweest in weerstations voor thuis, en hoe die dingen er verdorie lelijk blijven uitzien.
Iemand een suggestie die er mooier uitziet, liefst met open data/open source/open hardware?

Named graphs in #RDF (2014) are still controversial after all this time and I don’t think they should be.
While their semantics were left open, functionally we all use them as contextual assertions anyway. Prove me wrong 🤓

As Linked Data practitioners we know vocabularies and shapes, but that’s not enough. Full interoperability needs two more artefacts: reusable interaction patterns across domains, and implementation guides to help developers avoid endless choices.

One-off integrations don’t scale. We need higher ambitions as data providers building
1️⃣ within an ecosystem (JSON Schemas, strict API contracts, ...)
2️⃣ across ecosystems (RDF vocabularies, SHACL profiles, reusable API features)
3️⃣ inter-engine (AI agents & logic)

Ik ben wellicht wat aan het overreageren, maar kijk... Luminus stuurt mij massa’s reclame (papier, website en mail) over of ik niet maandelijks extra wil betalen om ervoor te zorgen dat ik verslaafd word aan achter mijn kinderen te lopen om te zeggen dat ze het licht moeten uitdoen.
