query interface about fabric

[spy16]

Hey. Thanks for considering the project. But i have to clarify few things. Even though it is described as triple store in the descriptions it is in fact not even close to becoming one.

Fabric was built as a quick solution to some other experimental project i was working on (it was built as a separate project hoping it can become something of a triplestore eventually).
Requirements for that were very simple:

1. Need to store triples. Just the subject->predicate->object relation in some way.

2. Simple query interface. Few examples:

   • bob knows ? - who are Bob's acquaintances ?
   • ? knows bob - who knows Bob?
   • Bob ? Alice - what are the relations between Bob and Alice?
   • A* knows Bob - Return everyone who knows Bob and has name starting with A.

But the experimental project i was working on changed direction and i stopped working on fabric. So at this moment only similarity Fabric has with a full-fledged triple-store is that fabric has something called a triple. Even though it has a REST API for managing/querying triples and also a GraphViz based plotting, it lacks in the following:

• SPARQL or even a subset of it is NOT supported.
• Does not conform to any standards like RDF
• Does not really have any specific optimizations for triples.

Sorry to disappoint you here. I would recommend you take a look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_triplestores for mature (and real) triple stores.
