Re:Show HN: RickView ∙ Knowledge Graph Browser in Rust by kirdiekirdie on Friday June 07, 2024 @04:50AM (#40606687)
RDF Knowledge Graphs (KGs) have this cool property that each resource has its own URI, so if you put a webserver behind those URIs you can summarize the resources and browse from one to the others.

Normally you need to upload your KG to a SPARQL endpoint and then deploy another browser and a webserver and connect all those components, and it is complicated, error prone and wasteful when you have a small KG.

To solve this I made RickView, a single binary written in Rust that holds a KG in memory and acts as a web server for RDF resources.

Here are some RDF knowledge graphs you can browse that are served by RickView:
