Hi,
I would like to summarize the current status of the FedX integration into RDF4J once more and also outline some next steps.
Code-wise the integration of FedX has currently been done to the rdf4j-tools-federation module. We also did some larger refactorings of the code to better align and integrate it with RDF4J. From my point of view on the code-level we are mostly good now.
Partially still open is the IP process from the Eclipse Foundation (see
https://dev.eclipse.org/ipzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20667): So far we got clearance for submission of the code to the repository, while the IP clearance is going on in the background. I am not entirely sure if we explicitly have to trigger this once more, as there was no communication for a while. Jeen, what do you think?
Besides this I would see the following as open tasks for the release:
* have a more close integration of the code into RDF4J (e.g. bundling with the RDF4J server / workbench to allow defining federations from the RDF4J workbench UI).
* provide a bundled repository template for the RDF4J workbench
* fine-tune the existing documentation (particularly w.r.t the RDF4J workbench integration)
Jeen, can you provide guidance on how we best get to a conclusion for above topics?
Thanks,
Andreas
