Presentation: An Introduction to FluidDB
We briefly covered FluidDB in the past when I mis-named it the Wikipedia of databases. The presentation embedded below clarifies a bit more the following questions:
- what is FluidDB: a platform for the web of things, each represented by an openly writable “social” object
- why FluidDB: most of the information nowadays lives inside walled gardens, so its difficult to make real use of it. I especially enjoyed this slide explaining the problem with closed information:
- how to use FluidDB: all applications use the same FluidDB database through a RESTful API
