TripleSoup and CouchDB
Leo,
Now that CouchDB has been brought into the Incubator, is there anything that
the old TripleSoup project would have to offer? Would the people who were
interested in TripleSoup be interested in participating on CouchDB?

Mostly Erlang is correct. But we are not yet using Mochiweb. We hope
to, soon, though.

Hmmmh? Like what?
TripleSoup code is mostly in C, for serving up triples, using an
apache module for HTTP/REST.
CouchDB code is mostly in Erlang (right?), for serving up document-
based stuff, using MochiWeb (right?).
The projects are similar in that they are both "infastructure for
building web stuff", but AFAICS everything else about them is just
about completely different, most importantly the underlying vision.
The TripleSoup-ish semantic web vision is all about a world with
*less* documents, instead going towards a more "granular" triples-
based web, whereas CouchDB is firmly document-based. RDF mandates
URIs whereas CouchDB mandates only strings, but suggests UUIDs. Etc etc.

I wouldn't know...but based on the above, probably not so much :-)
cheers!
