Hi all, A reminder that today's Blazegraph call zoom link has been updated since I have needed to pass on facilitation to the kind and wonderful Eric Willey due to personal emergency. It is correct in the agenda. Call Details: * Zoom link to join meeting: https://illinoisstate.zoom.us/j/97669716243?pwd=OHNXbmY4WDB0U0crVE5GU3haTlR… (Password: 416514) * Agenda: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1loXQkOQcF-nxxgsx6bn8b09iWznapQCpe2V2Qlx… Best, Alex From: Alex Jiyun Jung Sent: December 6, 2022 3:31 PM To: LINKEDOPENLIB-L(a)LISTSERV.UTORONTO.CA Subject: FW: LD4-Wikidata Affinity Group Call on Tuesday, December 13th Heads-up: Wikimedia Search Team will be at the upcoming LD4-Wikidata call, sharing updates on the backend for Wikidata's SPARQL endpoint. Blazegraph is the current query engine, but there are significant issues with scalability-enough that the search for alternative backends are long underway, in anticipation of "catastrophic failure within the next 5 years if no action is taken" (see WDQS backend update<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:SPARQL_query_service/WDQS_backend_up…>). Bring your questions about Blazegraph and the future of the WDQS!
