Abstract

While the WebDAV standard provides a well-established read/write mechanism for Web resources, as well as version management through its Delta-V extension, the complexity of the underlying protocol limits its practical adoption. The W3C Linked Data Platform (LDP) more recently provides an alternative approach for simultaneous resource and semantic metadata management on the Web. In combination with the HTTP Memento protocol, it has recently been successfully employed in the context of interoperable data management. Inspired by file system interfaces for WebDAV, we present factFUSE, the – to our knowledge – first user-space application for the joint management of arbitrary computer files and semantic RDF data & metadata in the file system based on the LDP and HTTP Memento Web standards.
