"Hello World" for November Swap

rosano · October 26, 2021, 1:44pm

Noel De Martin and I were talking about doing simple “Hello World” examples for the different Zero Data protocols. The idea is:

keep it super bare bones (‘ugly’ is fine )
no build systems
just the absolute minimum to implement a CRUD of todos.

He already made one for SOLID:

Would be great if anyone from the community can make one for remoteStorage. Should be a straightforward project and you can even fork the above repo to start.

The swap will likely be on Wednesday, November 24th, 2021

Noel De Martin finalized the Hello World for Solid and it looks gorgeous

Still looking for a volunteer to fork this and swap with remoteStorage. We can collaborate

I ended up implementing this today.

I left the Solid terminology in this markdown Glossary for someone to replace with appropriate ones from remoteStorage—maybe @raucao @galfert @silverbucket @michielbdejong?

# Glossary

- **Solid POD:** This is your personal storage where Solid applications store files.
- **Identity provider:** This is the service used to perform authentication, it is often served in the same url as your POD (but not always).
- **WebId:** The url that identifies you as a person, for example `https://noeldemartin.solidcommunity.net/profile/card#me`. WebIds can also identify organizations and groups, it's not limited to individuals.
- **Solid document:** Data stored in your POD can either be a binary, like an image or video, or an RDF document. Although these are called documents, this doesn't mean that they are stored in a text file. Documents are represented by a url, and the Solid POD can persist them in any way (text files, database, etc.).
- **Solid container:** A collection of documents and binary resources. [Learn more](https://www.w3.org/TR/ldp-primer/).
- **Solid Profile:** This is the document that contains information about you. It is the document that contains your webId. For example `https://noeldemartin.solidcommunity.net/profile/card`.
- **RDF:** Resource Definition Framework, the abstract data representation for data in Solid. [Learn more](https://www.w3.org/TR/rdf11-concepts/).
- **Turtle:** A specific RDF encoding format. [Learn more](https://www.w3.org/TR/turtle/).
- **SPARQL:** Query language used to query RDF data. [Learn more](https://www.w3.org/TR/sparql11-query/).

Great!

Regarding the glossary, almost all of those terms do not apply to remoteStorage at all, so I’m not sure what to edit there. You only have what they call a “pod”, and whoever hosts your pod is also your identity provider at the moment.

True. I was imagining ‘storage address’, webfinger, local-first / anonymous mode, data modules, json schema…

Ah, yes. I think that would be indeed be very useful to have all on one page!
