Dear all,

we would like to propose a new project called Apache Linda as a Linked =
Data Platform implementation to the incubator. Andy Seaborne was so kind =
as to volunteer as a champion for the project. The proposal is available =
at

http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/LindaProposal

The goal of Apache Linda is to provide an open implementation of a =
Linked Data Platform that can be used, extended, and deployed easily by =
organizations who want to publish Linked Data or build custom =
applications on Linked Data. Linda will follow the core recommendations =
of the W3C on RDF, SPARQL and Linked Data publishing, particularly the =
emerging Linked Data Platform (LDP) recommendation. It will also offer =
extensions for frequently needed additional functionalities like Linked =
Data Querying, WebID, WebACL, Reasoning, and Versioning. Linda aims to =
cover both, Linked Open Data, as well as Enterprise Linked Data =
scenarios, providing facilities to deal with different data sources and =
requirements (small data/big data, open access/restricted access, etc).

We are looking forward to your feedback and suggestions on how to =
improve the proposal and idea!


Sergio, Thomas, Jakob and Sebastian
